But before you get rid, save back some of your Christmas tree, because it can be turned into a fantastic car cleaner at home.

He simply cuts some branches off a Christmas tree and then dices them up before putting them in an air-tight jar.

You then seal the jar and leave the spruce soaking in the vinegar for around three weeks.

It’s ready once the liquid has turned a golden brown colour.

Strain out the fir and then pop the infused vinegar in an empty spray bottle.

Adamjan says it’s great for around the house, like kitchen surfaces, floors and toilets, as it has disinfectant qualities.

But you can also use this on the hard plastic parts of your car’s interior, like the steering wheel or dashboard top.

Not only will it kill germs and make your interior look cleaner, but it’ll also leave a festive smell behind too.

You can also use this to clean your car’s glass, but it’s not recommended for use on fabrics given the acidity of the vinegar.
