Cleanliness in the car interior is not only an indicative characteristic of the owner, but also a guarantee of a safe microclimate in the car. A lot of cleaners have been created to take care of the interior of a car. They differ in efficiency, purpose and cost. The trade network of our country offers a wide range of auto chemistry. Expert advice will help you choose the most suitable product for car interior care.

Selection recommendations

Appointment. The choice of a vehicle interior cleaner should start with the area of ​​application.

1. If the car owner regularly cleans the cabin without waiting for dirt to penetrate deeply into the structure of the material, he should give preference to a universal composition. It treats fabrics, leather, plastics, wood and paints with equal care. However, if the pollution is old, then such a remedy may be powerless.
2. In cars with fabric upholstery, there is the problem of removing stains that penetrate the fibers of the material. For such cases, special compositions have been invented. They are able to take good care of velor, textile, carpet upholstery.
3. Specialized products include skin cleansers. There are many types of upholstery, from natural smooth leather to modern imitations. Therefore, it is important to carefully study the manufacturer's recommendations, since the composition can be suitable for smooth leather and be dangerous for suede.

High-speed performance. Modern motorists do not always have enough time to take care of the interior. Therefore, one of the main parameters when choosing is the duration of the action.

1. There are preparations that remove dirt within 1-5 minutes from the moment of application. These products are best suited for cleaning a confined area.
2. Compositions with a longer duration of action are optimal for general cleaning.

Application method. Interior cleaners are packaged in different containers. In this case, application is carried out in several ways.

1. Vials and bottles can be fitted with simple stoppers or dispensing stoppers. Such funds are applied to a napkin, after which they are rubbed into the surface to be treated. This option is suitable for processing a small area, since it is quite laborious.
2. An aerosol spray makes it easier to apply the cleaner. Thanks to a special swivel tip, the user can select the desired spray pattern.
3. Foam cleaners are highly penetrating and effective. Particles of dirt pass into the foam, which must then be removed with a vacuum cleaner or brush.

We have selected 12 of the best car interior cleaners for our review. All these formulations are sold in the Russian trade network. When distributing positions, the editors of the magazine relied on the opinion of the expert community, taking into account the reviews of domestic motorists.
