Your Lincoln is stylish and luxurious, and you want to keep it in great condition. Regular servicing and maintenance ensure it always works perfectly, but you also want to keep the inside in good condition. As your Lincoln dealership, we want to give you a few tips on how to keep your Lincoln interior looking and smelling great.
From Your Lincoln Dealership: Tips To Keep Your Lincoln Interior Like New
Take Out the Trash
Despite every driver’s best intentions, stuff always accumulates in a vehicle. These items, ranging from old receipts to empty coffee cups, make the interior look untidy. The first step in keeping the interior looking good is to collect and dump all this trash. Grab two trash bags, one for actual trash and a smaller one for the items you want to keep.
Once you’ve cleared everything that doesn’t belong in your Lincoln, you’ll notice the interior looks better already. Dump the bag of trash, put everything from the other bag back where it belongs, and you’re ready for the next step.
Wash the Mats
Interior mats collect dirt and grime, so the next step is to wash them. If you have rubber mats, they can be easily cleaned with a hosepipe and then hung out to dry. If you have cloth mats, use an upholstery cleaner and a soft cloth to remove any stains gently, then allow them to dry.
Clean and Dust
Dusters or microfiber cloths are perfect for dusting the interior as they collect dust and are soft enough not to scratch anything. Carefully wipe the dash, screens, and other surfaces to remove dirt.
Once all the surfaces are dust-free, use disinfecting wipes to remove any bacteria left on the surfaces. Your touchscreen and other digital screens can be safely cleaned with specialized wipes for cleaning computer screens.
Clean the Windshield
Dirt and grime build up on the glass and impair visibility. Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to fix this problem.
Vacuum the Interior
Use your vacuum cleaner on the seats and carpets, and don’t forget hard-to-reach areas like between the seat cushions and between the seats themselves. Once any remaining dust is removed, the interior will smell cleaner and fresher.
Clean the Upholstery
If you have cloth upholstery, use a high-quality upholstery cleaner and a soft cloth to clean each seat. It’s important not to use too much water, as it can penetrate the upholstery and leave the seat wet.
If you have leather seats, use a high-quality leather cleaner and a soft cloth as this prevents damaging the leather. In addition, a good leather cleaner ensures the leather remains supple so it won’t crack with time.
