6 Steps To A Green Clean Car

From road trips to beach outings and kids sporting events to drive-in movie theaters, our cars take quite a beating during the hot summer months. Keeping up on the cleaning can make it not just easier on yourself but easier on your ride. Follow these quick cleaning steps to maintain your vehicles freshness!

Empty out all the trash. Wrappers, receipts, food containers and a few questionable items may lurk under your console and between your seats. Designating a trash receptacle for your car and emptying it out once a week can easily eliminate your trash buildup.
Wipe it down. With your favorite green all-purpose cleaner wipe down the door handles, cup holders, and dashboard. These areas tend to get sticky, dusty and covered in germs. A quick wipe once a week will help deter buildup over time.
Clean the inside of your windows. Mix 2 cups of water with 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar in a spray bottle and voila, you have yourself an eco-friendly, simple, and effective glass cleaner. This may not need to be done as often as once a week keeping up on it definitely helps the overall appearance of a fresh ride!
Vacuum out the vehicle. Many car wash facilities these days will offer free or cheap vacuums with the purchase of an exterior car wash. You can also simply use your home vacuum. Be sure to move the seats all the way forward and all the way back to get the problem areas where food crumbs and other mysterious items like to hide.
Shampoo the carpets. This is obviously a tad more tedious than the previous cleaning tasks, but it sure helps to extend the life of the vehicles appearance. Mix 1/4 cup of each; Salt, Borax & Vinegar. Rub the paste into the carpet and let it sit for a few hours. Later vacuum it up and watch the stain disappear in front of your eyes.
Spray, sniff, ahhhhhhh!. Mix 1 Tablespoon Vodka, 6 Tablespoons Water and 10-40 drops of your favorite essential oil into a travel size spritzer or spray bottle. Spritz this in your vehicle any time it could use a little pick me up.

Customer Testimonials

I was extremely pleased with Ashley’s team and they left my house extra-sparkling, making me look good for my in-laws’ visit. All traces of puppy fur and hard-to-remove gunk removed, and the house smelled clean, like lavender (not harsh chemicals). This is thorough, professional, fairly priced, and courteous service. All the stars!”

Stacey P.

“We are very pleased with the service we received with Dashing Maids. Their communication and customer service is superb! Ashley is professional and has great attention to detail. She took the time to take notes on all the areas in our house that I wanted to have cleaned during our first walk through, which I really appreciated. In the past, I’ve done walk throughs with other cleaning companies, explained what I wanted cleaned, they nod “yes” and then didn’t follow through. When Dashing Maids came to clean on our scheduled date, they were very efficient. Everything looked great when they were finished and I’m looking forward to having Dashing Maids return on a regular basis.”

Kara S.

“I have never had a cleaning service, but considered it often. Dashing Maids put a flyer on my door which intrigued me enough to call them. I was impressed with their initiative and enthusiasm that I hired them after our initial meeting. Now every other week I get to come home to a wonderfully clean house with their charming additions that make me smile. I’m not sure they are trying to turn my “black thumb” into a greenish one, but I haven’t killed the lucky bamboo they left as a surprise yet. I’d fully endorse them as a cleaning, Dashing Maids service.”

Maggie B.

“It’s so nice to come home to a sparkling clean house! I’ve worked with other cleaning companies in the past and Dashing Maids always provides a more thorough clean than I’ve found with other companies for a very reasonable price. Plus, they’re great with my dog and don’t mind that he’s at home when they come to clean. I highly recommend Dashing Maids!”

Miriam T.

“There is no one that cleans our house as well as Katie does! She is meticulous and genuinely loves to clean, and it absolutely shows. We love it when it is our cleaning day. I could not be happier with the services provided by her and the Dashing Maids company. They are responsive, timely, and have overall been a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning company.”

I know my house will be clean and I’ll get the pleasure of their company while they clean it. They do a great job and give me such peace of mind!”

We've been fortunate to have Dashing Maids clean our home for the past several years. Ashley and her entire team have been great to work with. We'd recommend them without reservation. Most recently, Tori and Carol cleaned our home with detail and care.

We really appreciate our cleaner,
Lily! She does more than just a quick “once over”. She recently found a class ring that had been missing for ages- thank you for a job well done! Dashing Maids delivers thoroughgoing service every time
