When you’re on a tight budget, keeping your car polished and looking new can be stressful, but there are Do-It-Yourself (DIY) car wash hacks you can find in your own home. These are the seven budget-friendly hacks that are simple to find and implement at home.

 

1. Clean the car’s upholstery by using vinegar and baking soda.

Known as a good combination for deeply cleaning and removing dirt, making a paste of vinegar and baking soda is a hack that many car owners use for their DIY car wash at home.

These two will help you in removing any dirt that you were unaware was in the upholstery of your seats. To avoid strange odors in your upholstery, this is the best hack you need for a fresher, new-looking car upholstery.

 

2. Get rid of dust in the car air vent by using a makeup brush.

When you open your car windows, the dust from the outside collects in the air vent. If you have an unused large makeup brush, that is the best hack tool for cleaning the dust out of your car air vent. Make sure to wash and clean the makeup brush before you begin. If you can’t find an unused makeup brush in your kit, you can purchase a new one at a local store.

 

3. Use olive oil for a shiny dashboard.

Olive oil isn’t just good for our skin and other beauty hacks; it’s also the best hack for making your dashboard look polished and shiny. If you’re looking for a cheap way to clean your dashboard, olive oil is the way to go because a small amount of it will make your dashboard look moist and clean. If you use it over time, it is less likely to snap.

 

4. Small jar and laundry scent capsules as an air freshener.

Instead of purchasing an expensive air freshener, you can make your own by placing laundry scent capsules in a small jar. Make sure the lid only has small holes so that the smell of laundry scent capsules stays fresh and clean in your car. You not only save money by doing this, but you can also continue making this DIY air freshener without investing too much in it.

 

5. Get a toothbrush and toothpaste for your headlights.

Avoid having to ponder how to effectively clean your dusty headlights. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to a rag and begin cleaning your headlights. If you think toothpaste only works on our teeth, think again. It also works on car headlights, creating sparks and bringing clarity to the lights. Instead of purchasing an expensive brush, a toothbrush is used to get into all of the bumps and dirt inside your car.

 

6. Use rubbing alcohol for windshield wipers.

Cleaning a windshield isn’t always enough because dirt and marks from the wipers can accumulate. To completely avoid this, clean your windshield wipers with rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will keep your wipers from leaving smears on your windshield the next time you drive.

 

7. Use a squeegee to easily remove a pet’s hair.

Animal lovers enjoy driving around with their pets, but after a fun trip, the pet’s hair gets stuck in the car seat and is difficult to remove. Using an unused spray bottle and plain water, moisten the seat where the pet hair is for an easy DIY cleaning hack. Don’t soak the seat because it will make removing the hairs more difficult. After that, take a squeegee and run it over the car seat, pulling all the pet hair with it.
