At Freehold Subaru, we've been waiting for warmer temperatures and soothing sunshine to finally return to the Freehold, Farmingdale, and Manalapan communities. And to help get you and your car warm weather ready, we've put together a few tips for spring cleaning your Subaru. These tips will teach you several ways to clean your Subaru using at-home supplies as well as where to go for professional work.

Cleaning Your Subaru at Home

When it comes to spring cleaning your Subaru, there are plenty of things you can do at home. Most of them are fairly simple to do and won't have you spending a ton of money purchasing professional equipment or cleaning products.

To start, the average consumer vacuum features a detachable suction hose with a variety of interchangeable brushes and heads. These are ideal for cleaning dirt and crumbs from the car's interior.

But before you get started, try blowing dust and debris from buttons and grooves with compressed air. You can use the cans of air used for cleaning keyboards.

After you've done that, use the vacuum to clean floor mats, seats, and carpeting. It's best to work from the top down, so any dirt that's loosened can be picked up along the way.

To clean the windows, you can use any type of household glass cleaner unless your windows are tinted, in which case consult the user's manual for important chemical warnings. Make sure to use a lint-free cloth so you don’t leave behind any fibers or particles on the glass. 

To clean the exterior of your Subaru, make sure you use car soap and wax; never use hand or dish soap to clean your vehicle. Ultimately, cleaning the car's exterior can be difficult and frustrating, which is why many drivers opt to visit a professional carwash.

Getting a Professional Automotive Scrub

If you're looking to save yourself the hassle of cleaning your Subaru's exterior, we suggest visiting 33 East Car Wash. They offer a variety of interior and exterior detailing options, depending on what you'd like done. This type of car wash is ideal for the driver who only needs a quick rinse as well as the one who wants a complete detail.

Don't Forget the Moving Parts

While it's good to make sure your Subaru looks great for spring, you'll also want to make sure it's running great too. At Freehold Subaru, our staff of automotive professionals have the tools and experience necessary to get your Subaru back into shape. 

After that long and harsh winter, it's a good idea to change the oil and check the tires. We'll also make sure to measure all fluid levels and top off any that are low.
