We've all heard of Spring cleaning, but what about Fall cleaning? Cleaning your car in general is not always a first choice to preoccupy your time, however, Fall cleaning your vehicle is very important! It gives you a chance to clear out all the sweaty Summer trips you've had and prepare for the crisp cool Fall experiences!
Get a Car Wash
Swap out your Summer Tires and Rims for Winter ones
Vacuum your car's interior
Store away your warm weather Emergency Kit in the garage
Put your Cold Weather Emergency Kit in your trunk (Here's what to include...)
Change out cloth floor mats for durable rubber ones
Wash seat covers, including any children's car seat covers
Change out your air freshener
Clean your windows and apply an anti-fog to the inside of your windows
Clean out your trunk
If you dedicate a day to Fall cleaning your vehicle, you can accomplish a lot! Including getting your vehicle maintenance ready for colder weather like:
Change over to Winter formula washer fluid
Replace your wipers (if needed)
Make sure your heat works on all settings
Check to see if the window defrost is working
Change your cabin air filter (if needed) (Here's why...)
Inspect your spare tire and jack
and more...
