It's no better than a day at the beach with the family ... until it's time to get back to the sunburnt, moody car, whose arms are covered with wet towels and legs covered in a thick crust of sand. In any case, children always manage to take half of the beach home with them. How do you get sand out of your car ? Because if there is sand in your car it will go on in the house (and if it goes on in the house it will surely end up in your bed).
"You really want to try to keep the amount of sand that gets into your car as low as possible," Paula Spinelli, a cleaning specialist at Merry Maids for 20 years, told Romper. "But at the same time, you don't want to spoil your day by thinking about how much sand you can find in your car." No matter how hard you try, these annoying grains of sand hit your car. In the worst case: The children run forward and get in the car in front of you. (Everyone knows what happens if these water shoes aren't thrown away before getting in the car.)
No matter how much sand you're dealing with, these tips from the pros will clean your car up again, with the exception of crumbled goldfish crackers.
1. Stop it before you start
Sure, it can be loaded, but don't let your kids get in the car without shaking the sand. First, quickly shake out blankets and beach towels. Have the children wipe with a dry towel to remove excess sand from their skin. Also shake your hair. You will be amazed at how much sand is trapped in these sunny locks.
2. Have a plan
If you want to clean your car, it is best to set up a system. Otherwise you could have sand everywhere. "It is better to start cleaning from top to bottom," says Spinelli. "Otherwise you will work twice as much." First try cleaning the seats and leaving the floor (like carpets) at the end so that you only have to clean the entire car once.
3. Shake the carpets immediately.
Sand likes to find a house in his car, and most of the time he will try to be installed on his car mats. However, if they're made of fabric, getting rid of the sand can be even more difficult. "It is better to shake the carpets immediately," says Spinelli. "If the sand stays long, it can be embedded and more difficult to remove." Speed is important when cleaning your car.
4. Bring a brush
A brush can be your best friend to reduce the amount of sand in your car. So bring a small brush (preferably one with stiff bristles, like a horsehair brush) to remove sand from the grooves in your car seats or even from the floor. "You can use the brush to lift the sand out of your car instead of covering it," says Spinelli. Even a small handheld vacuum cleaner can work wonders. Just make sure that it is charged first.
5. Use compressed air
No matter what cleaning you do, sand gets stuck in small places in your car. You can try getting into these hard-to-reach areas with a toothbrush, or you can use a can of compressed air that blows the sand straight out of its hiding place , FamilyHandyMan.com reported.
6. Use dryer sheets
Nobody wants to spend time hand-picking the sand and unruly hair from car rugs and rugs. A quick and easy cleaning trick involves using drying foils, TasteofHome.com reported. The dryer sheets not only collect lint, hair and sand, they also make your car feel less like wet towels.
Cleaning your car after a day at the beach isn't always fun, but there are ways to get it going. And if everything else fails, Spinelli says: "You can always take your car to a car wash where industrial vacuum cleaners are used."
