A cordless vacuum isn't just for home use. Is your car messy? It's time to tidy up with Dyson's guidance.

Prepare all necessary equipment in advance - make sure to prepare all the necessary equipment in advance to efficiently perform the cleaning process: a Dyson vacuum cleaner with corner and rail attachments, a stubborn dirt brush, a general cleaning attachment, and a motorized upholstery brush for sofas and upholstery. Additionally, prepare garbage and recycling bags, bags for keeping belongings inside the car, window cleaning spray, a soft dry cloth, a damp cloth, and air freshener spray or diffuser.

Empty the car's contents - open the car doors to ventilate it during cleaning. Use a garbage bag to remove all trash, and remember to check under the seats, in pockets, and in cup holders. In a separate bag, gather all belongings not meant for spraying, such as sunglasses, chargers, and sticks, and keep them aside during cleaning. Finally, remove the floor mats, shake them, and place them in a clean, dry place.

Cleaning the seats - start with the front part of the car and move the seats backward. Use the vacuum's corner and rail attachment. Vacuum along the seams of the seats, as close to the stitching as possible. Pay special attention to the seam where the back part meets the bottom of the seat, as there is often a surprising amount of dirt and debris. Then, use the Motorbar™ brush with De-tangle technology to prevent hair tangling on sofas and mattresses and vacuum the upholstery of the seats slowly. Vacuum the loose debris as well as invisible dust and allergens that may accumulate.

Vacuum the sides - use a dual-mode attachment for general cleaning, with brush fibers, to remove dust and dirt from the dashboard, air vent keys, and doors. With this attachment in brush mode, you can vacuum any surface without fear of scratching. Finally, use a damp cloth or window cleaning spray and a dry cloth to remove all marks and stains from the car's plastic.

Dealing with stubborn dirt - what about areas with stubborn dirt like dried mud or food stains? The stiff bristles of the hard brush and the powerful suction of the vacuum will help loosen dry dirt. Once all tough dirt is removed, vacuum the rest of the car's bottom with a motorized upholstery brush for sofas and mattresses.
