Answer 1

Take everything out. Vacuum well. Use a cleaner made for interiors Tuff Stuff, Armor All Interior Cleaner(auto department in your local department store or go to an auto parts store). These will work on cloth, plastic, vinyl, and carpet. If you have leather, get a leather cleaner - conditioner. Try not to get anything too wet as the moisture will get into the foam under the seats and it will take forever to dry. Spray the carpets and the scrub with a nylon brush agitating the carpet to work in the foam. An old toothbrush may help to get in the tight spots. If you have access to a wet/dry shop vac come back through and vacuum all the moisture and the dirty foam. If not then use a towel to blot it out. On the stains use a stain remover such as Spot Shot or Resolve. Use a credit card or some other plastic scraper on the dried up gum. If it's still gooey use ice to freeze it, then scrape it out. On plastic and vinyl, spray on and wipe off. You may need the brush to agitate any tough dirt off. Good Luck!

Whatever you use to clean your home rugs, you can use in your car. Be sure to vacuum good before you try to get the stains out, otherwise you're just going to grind more dirt into your carpeting. Windex just came out with a new product for interior car windows and it's streak free. I bought the pkg of wipes with the lift-top (like baby wipes) and keep them in my car pouch. As far as the gum, ice it and chisel, ice & chisle. Good Luck ;~)

properly, some heat water, possibly with a tiny splash of cleansing soap in it, plus a sparkling fabric will do a outstanding quantity to scrub issues up, with a nailbrush to get into nooks & crannys interior the plastic. Then wipe down with a sparkling damp fabric. And permit it air off properly. The leather-based fairly merits its very own therapy if this is any stable. you ought to use something like Mr Sheen on the plastics in case you prefer a shine, yet save it off the controls. i could advise no longer shining the dashtop, that could reason contemplated photograph problems. try an uncomplicated glass purifier, yet do no longer use Windolene or comparable, they are glass polishes and in many circumstances incorporate silicones which will play hob alongside with your wipers and imaginative and prescient. or in basic terms heat water and vinegar. in case you're unlikely to shampoo the carpets, supply 'em a reliable vacuum and spray some Febreze on them for a sparkling fragrance that's way less nauseating than maximum motor vehicle air fresheners. wish that helps.
