### 8. **Remove Stubborn Pet Hair with a Rubber Glove**
If your car is full of pet hair, a simple rubber glove can be your best tool for removal. The rubber creates friction that helps lift pet hair from fabric surfaces.

– Put on a rubber glove and dampen it slightly with water.
– Rub the glove over the fabric surfaces (seats, carpets, etc.), and watch the pet hair collect.
– Vacuum or wipe up the hair afterward.
### 9. **Clean Your Car’s Mats with Dish Soap**
Your car’s floor mats can collect a lot of dirt and grime, but cleaning them doesn’t have to be a hassle. Dish soap is tough on grease and gentle on most materials, making it ideal for cleaning rubber and carpeted mats.
**How to do it:**
– For rubber mats: Spray them with dish soap and use a stiff brush to scrub away dirt. Rinse thoroughly with water and let them air dry.
– For carpeted mats: Mix dish soap with water, scrub with a brush, and rinse. Allow the mats to dry before placing them back in your car.
### 10. **Use a Compressed Air Can for Nooks and Crannies**
Sometimes, dirt and crumbs accumulate in places that are hard to reach with a cloth or vacuum nozzle. A can of compressed air is the perfect solution for blasting dirt and dust out of tight spaces.
**How to do it:**
– Use the compressed air to blow dust out of air vents, cup holders, and between seats.
– It’s a quick way to clear away debris without taking apart any of your car’s interior components.
