I was horrified the other day when I noticed how neglected my car had become over the winter months, in fact I felt a little embarrassed. The cold weather and short daylight hours just hadn’t inspired me to get outside with a bucket of hot soapy water…plus I live in an apartment so it is a little bit of a challenge!
So I immediately added it my things to do list and found that it was easy to get ticked off my list when I went shopping as there was a valet centre in the car park, what a brilliant idea! It was such a lovely feeling getting back to my car after spending a few hours shopping to find it gleaming on the outside and clean and tidy on the inside. I think that many shopping centres do offer this, but if you would rather get the self satisfaction and do it yourself, Halfords are currently offering 3 for 2 on car cleaning products and if you have a steam cleaner use it to clean your wheels.
I always find wheels are really difficult to clean and I always miss a bit, but a steam cleaner takes the hard work out of this and gives your wheels a new lease of life. I would recommend the V-081 Steamer from the Vax range . The V-081 is a really versatile product as it come with a range of accessories and can be used to clean your cooker or BBQ, grout in the bathroom, hard floors (as long as they are sealed) and even mirrors! Steamers are hygienic and environmentally friendly as you do not need to use chemicals, so there is no added cost.
Oh…and washing your car also burns calories so if you are thinking about getting in shape for the summer washing your car will help, on average you will burn 204 calories!
