Newswise — April is National Car Care Month and The Vinegar Institute joins the Car Care Council in offering motorists advice to keep their vehicles in tip-top condition. The Car Care Council offers terrific maintenance tips to keep cars running clean and safe in an effort to advance the benefits of cleaner air, energy conservation, and safer roads. But, take it a step further and make your newly-maintained ride sparkle and shine.
While you're tackling your maintenance list this month, give your vehicle a once-over in the way of a beauty treatment.
Put the power of vinegar into your most beloved ride with these quick tips:
* Wipe the length of wiper blades with full-strength white distilled vinegar to remove grime and keep them clean.
* Spray or wipe 3 parts white distilled vinegar to 1 part water on windows to keep them frost-free. Repeat every few weeks to keep windows crystal clear.
* Dilute white distilled vinegar with water and sponge it into your vehicle's carpet and blot up to remove stains, ground-in dirt and salt residue.
* Don't forget those once-prized bumper stickers! Saturate the tops and sides of each sticker with full-strength white distilled vinegar and allow to soak through. Scrape them off with an expired credit card. Use additional vinegar to remove any remaining residue. This also works wonders on those cute little stickers children like to decorate the windows with! (Note: Try on a small, inconspicuous area first.)
