Clearly, if you own a Mercedes-Benz, you care enough to look after the interior properly. That means keeping it clean. In addition to wanting your Mercedes-Benz interior to look fabulous, lately keeping things clean has taken on a whole new meaning – courtesy of the coronavirus (COVID-19). More now than ever, people are cleaning and disinfecting surfaces to the nth degree. In fact, for the interior of transport vehicles, specific cleaning and disinfecting guidelines by the CDC have been published.

Whether you’re simply running a few errands or have decided to venture out on a long-awaited getaway, the inside of your vehicle will get dirty and need attention. To prevent the spread of germs and to help your vehicle look its best, let’s explore precisely how to clean your Mercedes-Benz auto interior.

Interior Scrubbing

To thoroughly scrub your interior’s hard surfaces, use soapy water or disinfectant wipes. The center console, windows, and other areas around the passenger and driver’s seat should be cleaned using special attention. The reason: When a person coughs or sneezes, droplets are far more likely to hit areas such as these. Those droplets spread disease.

Softer Surfaces

When cleaning soft surfaces inside your vehicle, consider the material you’re working with. You can use a vinyl cleaner or leather cleaner if the interior of your vehicle is leather. Use upholstery cleaner or carpet cleaner for cloth upholstery and your vehicle’s carpets. When in doubt, you can always contact Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and speak to someone from our parts center.

High Touch Surfaces Need Attention

High touch surfaces are exactly what you would expect them to be. They are the surfaces (in your car’s interior) that get touched most often. Think of steering wheels, climate controls, mirrors, seatbelts, audio controls, door handles, etc. Because they are frequently touched, these areas must be cleaned extremely well. If you have a touchscreen infotainment system in your Mercedes-Benz, don’t forget to clean it. That gets touched a lot!

Best Supplies To Use

Soap and water are highly recommended when it comes to fighting germs and cleaning the interior of your vehicle. However, cleaners that are labeled “free of detergents” should be avoided. Makeup remover wipes are actually a good alternative for those with leather interiors. As strange as that may sound, moisturizers are usually contained within skincare products. For organic trim materials, that’s good news.

When it comes to cleaning the inside of your vehicle, the cleaning products you use should be chosen carefully. Right now, it’s extremely important to get rid of germs as well as stay clean. However, to do so, you don’t want the interior of your car to be ruined.

Best case scenario – have the inside of your car detailed at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown.
