Car Hacks: How To Clean The Interior Of Your Car In Record Time Without Spray Cleaners or Paper Towels

I’m about to show you one of the best clean car hacks I know!

Does this sound like you?

• You wish you could wave a magic wand every day to get a clean car.
• You’ve told your kids not to put their dirty shoes on the back of the driver seat, (but they inevitably do anyway)?
• You let the dust keep collecting on the dashboard because its the middle of winter, and think that only crazy neat freak moms clean their car in the winter.
• You ignore how dirty your car windows are, especially in the back seat, because the kids just blow on it and draw pictures in the condensation anyway.
• You dread cleaning your car because it means dragging out the vacuum cleaner, and the Windex, and a whole roll of paper towels and it just takes way too long when the kids will mess it up during the next ride.

I personally answered yes to all of these.  

And while I am generally a clean person, my car is one area that I had just totally given up on attempting to keep clean since it quickly became a losing battle once I became a mom.

Cleaning the interior of my car in the winter isn’t even an option in my mind because I’m a full believer that it is a waste of time and energy.  

Only the crazy neat freak moms actually dust the dashboard in the winter!  (no offense to those moms out there that can keep their car clean with kids – I truly do applaud you!)

But when spring comes along, my mom guilt sets in, and I eventually decided it was time to make the inside of my car a bit less embarrassing for any guest riders.

This year when I did my car spring cleaning, I had a breakthrough moment that I just have to share with you!

I was able to wipe down and clean the interior of my car without paper towels or using Windex.

I did not bring any other spray cleaners outside with me while I was cleaning and I cleaned it in record time – maybe just 15 minutes to wipe it down, plus vacuuming time.

How did I do this you ask?  I used a general-purpose e-cloth!

As you can see in all of these pictures, the before side is pretty dirty!

I had not cleaned my car since last fall.  It was a dirty, ugly mess.  And I just ignored it all winter long!

Normally when spring rolls around I plan to set aside an entire afternoon to vacuum it out and spray it all down with Windex and other spray cleaners to get it back into shape.

This year though was a different story.

I did start by vacuuming the entire car and beating out the dust from the car mats.

Instead of using paper towels and Windex to do an OK job at wiping down the dirt and dust on the inside, I folded my general-purpose e-cloth in fourths (so that there would be 8 clean sides to use) and proceeded to use that to wipe the entire interior of my car – and it took about just 15 minutes!

WOW – The best clean car hack ever!!

•  I didn’t need to rinse out the cloth even once while I was cleaning.  I just used all 8 clean surfaces which were enough to wipe down the entire interior of my car in no time.
•  I didn’t have to inhale any cleaners in the enclosed environment of my car.
• I didn’t use a bunch of paper towels that I normally filled a grocery bag full of, just to throw in the trash.
• It was the EASIEST and FASTEST time I had ever spent cleaning my car.  And I, of course, I can’t help but recommend the same clean car hack to you!

Want to know where you can get your own general purpose e-cloth?

I’m telling you that it’s worth every penny!  (compare that to a Norwex Envirocloth that costs $17.99 PLUS shipping!)

Especially because when you add up the price you pay for Windex and paper towels – the E-Cloth ends up being a cheaper option after just a few times you use it since you can now get rid of spray cleaner, glass cleaner, and/or paper towels.

It’s healthier, cleaner, and overall cheaper.  Plus then you can tell your friends all about this clean car hack!

Get your Window Cloth and wipe the inside of your windows as you go. 

If you do that too, plus vacuuming, you should be able to finish cleaning in about a half hour.

This is a chore that I could easily spend 2 hours on (which is why I avoid it like the plague) – and now that I discovered how easy and simple it is to just quickly wipe down the dirty surfaces of my car with just an e-cloth and water (plus the window cloth for the windows), I have no excuse to let my car get as dirty as I do now.

PLUS, e-cloth has many clean car products that isn’t just for the interior  Check out the whole collection here!

Cleaning my car fast and easy is just ONE way in which e-cloth has made my life easier!
