With the arrival of warm weather we worry about washing the car, however, we often forget about the interior. But it is precisely in winter that seats, floor mats and windows tend to get dirtier. These are MAFRA's tips for a clean interior.
This year's winter has been particularly harsh, with rain and snowfall even in the city. Spring began with cold and gloomy days, but now the sun is beginning to make itself felt and we will soon enter the warmer season.
When it rains or snows, jackets and coats get wet, while shoes pick up the mud and dirt that forms on sidewalks and roads. All this is carried into the car, creating moisture on the seats and soiling the floor mats. The water that settles on the seat as it dries can form unsightly halos, also caused by the pollutants that rain and snow leave on our clothes. Dashboards and windows are also affected by bad weather and need care and maintenance before we face the warm weather.
With the products MAFRA all this is not a problem, just follow a few simple steps to have a cozy, well-smelling interior and always clean seats, dashboards, windows and floor mats.
Clean and fragrant seats
Whether the seats are made of natural or synthetic fabric, MAFRA always has the right solution to clean them and protect them from any kind of dirt for a long time. FLASH is the ideal product for dry cleaning and can be used on any upholstery, including velvet and Alcantara. Thanks to the revolutionary active foam formula, any stain can be removed, even those caused by moisture formed during the winter. The special brush, incorporated in the bottle, allows you to evenly distribute the product, reaching even the most difficult spots, while the precise and direct dispenser improves the use of the product. Thanks to the "Odor Stop" effect with FLASH, in addition to dirt, bad odors caused by animals, food and tobacco are also eliminated, keeping the interior fragrant for a long time.
For removing particularly difficult stains from seats and for cleaning plastic parts, such as doors and dashboards, MAFRA recommends PULIMAX, the sanitizing cleaner suitable for cleaning all car interiors. Available in both spray (125 ml.) and vaporizer (500 ml.) formats, this product is able to renew seat colors and dissolve dirt from fabrics and plastics, eliminating odors, even the most persistent ones, for complete hygienic cleaning. The use of PULIMAX is very simple: just spray the product on the part to be cleaned, let it act for a few seconds, then remove it with an ultra-absorbent synthetic cloth such as EXTRA DRY from MAFRA.
Waterproof fabrics against stains
If after cleaning cloth seats, you want to protect them by making them perfectly waterproof, MAFRA has the solution: IDROSTOP, the waterproofing spray for car fabrics equipped with an extraordinary water-repellent effect. Thanks to its special nano-technology formula, IDROSTOP is able to prevent liquids from settling on fabrics, thus also preventing the formation of mold and stains of all kinds. Simply spray the product on the surface to be treated (only on absorbent fabrics, not on leather and synthetic fabrics) from a distance of about 20 cm, with linear movements, first vertically and then horizontally, then ventilate the interior by leaving the doors open for 15 to 20 minutes. For a perfect water-repellent effect, it is necessary to let the product dry 12 hours, but if an oil-repellent effect is desired, repeat the operation a second time and wait an additional 12 hours. IDROSTOP can be used on any fabric, including floor mats and convertible car tops, and its effect lasts for at least 4/6 months.
Natural products for leather interior
Leather seats and car upholstery? No problem. MAFRA takes care of that, too, with the special CHARME kit specially designed for the washing and maintenance of leather interiors. In addition to 3 specific products to moisturize, cleanse and nourish the leather, the package also contains a double-sided glove for easy and deep cleaning, a cloth for removing residue and sponge pads for applying the products. CHARME HYDRATING, an anti-aging moisturizing milk, contains emulsifying elements of natural origin that are essential for preserving the skin's natural balance. Easy to use, this product helps skin maintain shine and elasticity, without succumbing to cracking and aging. CHARME DETERGENT is able to remove dirt from leather upholstery. The cleansing foam, containing natural elements of plant origin, acts in depth, leaving leather surfaces clean for a long time and ensuring maintenance and preservation for a long time, whether on new leather or following a restoration or extraordinary cleaning treatment. CHARME NUTRIENT, finally, is a natural cream with high nourishing power, suitable for restoring tone and radiance to skin dried and cracked by time, while maintaining its original elasticity. With MAFRA 's CHARME kit, even the most delicate leather interiors are protected from deterioration caused by daily use.
Dashboards as bright as diamonds
Winter temperatures, which can reach well below freezing, tend to deteriorate interior plastics, stiffening them, with the risk that they may crack. One of the parts most affected by this problem is the dashboard. To protect it and make it shine like new again MAFRA has made a protective polish specially designed for plastic surfaces: DIAMANT PLAST 4. Its formula, based on vegetable waxes and polymers, makes it quick and easy to apply. It is precisely the mix of waxes and polymers that protects and nourishes treated materials, creating a pleasant silky effect to the touch. DIAMANT PLAST 4 does not grease or bleach, its use brings any plastic surface back to its original splendor, even releasing in pleasant scent inside the car.
Stains off the windows
In winter, due to humidity, car windows tend to fog up and people often use their hands to clean them, leaving marks and haloes on windshields and windows. With the arrival of warm weather, the sun tends to highlight everything deposited on windows and it becomes essential to clean them, also to improve visibility. To solve this problem, MAFRA offers its new degreasing cleaner, with a shining effect, dedicated to the treatment of glass and crystals: GLASS CLEAN & SHINE. The foam of the product adheres perfectly to the surface, facilitating the sliding of the cloth, thus making glass cleaning quick and easy, thanks also to its high cleaning power. Simply spray the product onto windshields and windows, then wipe with the EXTRA DRY microfiber cloth to remove the powerful active foam, and you're done! Every stain, imprint or halo disappears, for perfectly clear glass.
Rubber floor mats like new
Rubber floor mats are a great way to prevent mud and dirt from settling on the floor of cars, making it especially difficult to clean the interior. However, these, too, need to be washed, especially after a winter like the one that just ended. HP12 e 3in1 PLASTICS are MAFRA's answer to making rubber floor mats look like new again. HP 12 is a universal degreaser whose active formula is able to remove any type of dirt, even the most difficult, while releasing a pleasant lemon scent. 3in1 PLASTICS is the specific product for cleaning plastic products. Its action is able to clean, revive and protect any surface, proving to be the ideal solution to make rubber mats look like new again.
New air in the car
In winter, people often use the air conditioner to mist the windows, creating moisture in the system ducts and risking ruining the passenger compartment filter. The consequence is that, with the arrival of warm weather, bad odors may be released inside the car when the air conditioner is turned on. Regular use of ODORBACT OUT solves the problem. This product, specially designed by MAFRA to eliminate bad odors caused by the use of air conditioning, not only sanitizes the passenger compartment, but also neutralizes organic and inorganic deposits, purifying all surfaces.
