Your INFINITI is a sleek, stylish vehicle that exudes elegance. While we always ensure the outside of a vehicle is clean, keeping the interior looking good is equally important. As your INFINITI dealer, we’d like to give you a few helpful tips on INFINITI interior care.

Remove All Trash

Despite every driver’s best efforts, old receipts, papers, dog or kid’s toys, and other items inevitably accumulate in the car. Many of these items just take up space and make the interior look messy. Some items, like toys, have owners who like them back. Grab two trash bags and clear everything from the interior that doesn’t belong there.

Separate the items into one bag to keep and the other to dispose of. Once you’ve finished, the interior will look better already. Put the items you’re keeping in their correct places or with their rightful owners, dispose of the trash, and you’re ready for the next step.

Clean the Mats

Mats collect dirt and other debris, so the next step is to remove and clean them. If you have rubber or silicon mats, they can easily be brushed, then hosed down to remove any remaining dirt, and hung out to dry. If you have carpeted mats, use a high-quality carpet cleaner to wash them, then let them air dry. Check the mats are thoroughly dry before replacing them, as water can cause mold on the carpets.

Dust and Disinfect

Use dusters or microfiber cloths to dust the instrument panel, cup holders, steering wheel, and all other surfaces. Don’t worry about dust falling on the floor we’ll deal with that next. Once everything is dusted, use antiseptic wipes to clean all the surfaces to remove bacteria. Special computer wipes can be used for your instrument panel and screens to leave them clean and streak-free.

Vacuum the Interior

Vacuum cleaners have numerous specialized attachments that can reach into any crevice. Use your vacuum to suck up any dust and dirt from the upholstery and floors. Pay particular attention to hard-to-reach areas like seat joins. Your INFINITI will smell nicer immediately.

Clean the Upholstery

If you have fabric upholstery, use a microfibre cloth and a high-quality upholstery cleaner to gently remove any marks. Don’t use too much water, as this can leave the fabric damp and damage it. If you have leather upholstery, use a soft cloth and leather cleaner to turn the leather shiny and soft again.
