Cars are used by many people for transportation.
It is important that you take care of your automobile.
One way to protect your car's exterior is by covering it when it is not in use.
This safeguards it from extreme weather, dirt, sun rays and other things.
There are many different covers in the market.
You should make a choice depending on the conditions that your vehicle is exposed to.
After covers are exposed to dust and other pollutants, they are bound to get dirty.
To make sure that they have a good appearance and they last long, you should clean them every once in a while.
Washing covers can be difficult.
It depends on the size and type of material.
There are several tips that one should follow when washing covers.
It is important that you use the right soap when doing the cleaning.
Use a mild detergent as well as a soft and clean cloth during the process.
You can also use an all purpose cleaner.
You should scrub the materials using a circular motion.
This will remove all the grime as well as the stains on it.
If possible you should use your hands to do the washing.
This works well especially for materials that are thin and flimsy.
Any dirt that remains after scrubbing should be washed by wiping using a soft and clean cloth.
It is advisable to rinse the material with water each time you wipe.
Ensure that you have enough clean water in a large container that you can dip the whole cover in.
You can use special detergents to remove stubborn stains.
Covers that are very large and heavy can be washed using a large washing machine.
The detergent used should also be mild.
The machine should be set to normal for the heavy materials.
For thin and flimsy ones, you should ensure the machine is set to make wash cycles that are gentle.
After you are done with the clean up you should find a strong clothesline to hang the materials.
Avoid using a dryer because it can damage most covers.
Some will melt if they are taken through a drying cycle.
While the material is drying, make sure that you flip it over several times.
This will ensure that all the areas dry up properly.
After it is well dried you can fold a car cover and keep it in a safe place.
