Drivers blown away by hack that helps with cleaning your car – it only costs 95p

MOTORISTS have been blown away by a deep-clean hack that leaves their car spotless – and it only costs 95p.

Heading into winter means muddy boots and mucky paws treading unwanted dirt into your car, but one household item can be the solution.

White wine vinegar can be used in a number of ways to scrub your car clean ahead of the festive period.

To help, Car Lease Special Offers has revealed the top four methods to use white wine vinegar to clean winter car dirt.

Remove dirt and haze from your windscreen

If you’re experiencing a build-up of something that is making your windscreen look hazy like it has a film covering it, put some white wine vinegar into a spray bottle and dilute it slightly with some water.

Spray this onto your windscreen and clean it off, and watch the haze be wiped away.

Clean out muck, salt and grit from footwells

As the weather gets colder, Brits are used to having our roads and footpaths gritted.

This can end up causing the carpet in your car to become dirty and get covered in white salt residue.

Use a mixture of equal part water to white wine vinegar in a spray bottle onto the affected fabric and dab with something soft like a tea towel. 

De-frost your windshield

Plummeting temperatures means those who use their cars early will have to deal with frosted windshields.

This adds time and energy to your journey, but white wine vinegar may be the solution to saving precious minutes.

The night before you use your vehicle, pour a mixture of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water onto your windshield and windows, and wake up with a frost-free vehicle.

Get rid of unpleasant odours

Winter dog walks means mucky paws, and it may also result in unwanted odours sneaking into your motor.

Luckily, just 95p is all it takes to remove the pungent smells.

Place a cup full of white wine vinegar in your parked car on a flat surface such as a footwell so it’s not at risk of falling over. 

Then leave the white vinegar in your car for a few hours, even overnight. 

Remove the vinegar from your car and air out the vehicle by opening windows and doors for a few minutes – and voila, the smell is gone.

The vinegar should have successfully absorbed any odors and this can be done as often as you like to keep your car smelling fresh.
