4 Effective Ways to Clean Your Car in Winter 

• Start with the mats: Always remember that winter floor protection can be just as significant as winter tires, so you must thoroughly clean your car mats throughout the winter to eliminate salt accumulation, debris and dirt. For winter, we recommend you use waterproof floor mats, as they protect the interior against foul smell and moisture. 
• Avoid scrubbing: Car owners should avoid scrubbing the windows, seats, floors, and carpets to remove grinding particles like sand, salt, or dirt, as they may leave scratches. Instead, use a foamy soap gun to remove rigid particles from your car gently. 
• Use grease or wax: Use a generous amount of industry-grade car wax or white lithium grease on your car doors, hood hinges, and trunks to prevent premature wear due to moisture or salt accumulation.
• Keep an eye on the air filters: Car air filters effectively prevent dirt, pollen, dust, and other particles from entering your car’s ventilation system. In winter, these air filters become prone to debris, which is why you should consider replacing them often.
