If the surface of the car trunk mat is stained with oil or other difficult-to-clean substances, you can take the following methods to deal with it:
If the oil is not handled in time, it may penetrate the surface of the trunk mat or cause stains that are difficult to remove. When you encounter oil stains, it is best to clean them as soon as possible.
First, use paper towels, dry cloths or absorbent cloths to absorb excess oil stains. Avoid wiping, which can reduce the spread of oil stains.
You can use baby powder, corn starch or baking soda and other substances that absorb oil stains, sprinkle them evenly on the oil stains, let them stand for 15 to 30 minutes, and then use a vacuum cleaner or brush to clean off the powder after it absorbs the oil stains.
Add warm water to the bucket and add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent (such as car-specific cleaners, laundry detergent, etc.). Use a soft brush or sponge to dip the solution and gently scrub the oil stains. Avoid excessive force when scrubbing to prevent damage to the surface of the trunk mat. Clean with clean water after scrubbing.
Dishwashing liquid has a degreasing effect. You can try to use a proper amount of dishwashing liquid dissolved in warm water for cleaning. Dishwashing liquid can effectively decompose grease, but you need to be careful to rinse it thoroughly after cleaning to avoid detergent residue.
There are some degreasing cleaners on the market that are specifically used for car interior and carpet cleaning. They usually have a degreasing effect and will not damage the interior surface or floor mats. Choose the right cleaner according to the material of the mat and use it according to the instructions.
You can choose a special degreaser or car cleaner. These cleaners usually have a strong cleaning ability for oil stains and can effectively remove oil stains without damaging the surface of the mat.
For trunk mats made of rubber or leather, you can use special cleaners that will not corrode the material and can clean the oil stains.
If the oil stains are difficult to remove, you can try a combination of baking soda and white vinegar.
Sprinkle baking soda on the oil stains, then spray a small amount of white vinegar and wait for the reaction. Vinegar can dissolve oil stains, and baking soda has a degreasing effect. After a few minutes, wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
If necessary, you can repeat the cleaning several times until the stain is completely removed.
If the trunk mat is made of a special material, or the above methods still cannot completely remove the oil stain, you can consider sending the mat to a professional car cleaning shop for deep cleaning or dry cleaning. This ensures that the material is not damaged and is thoroughly cleaned.
After cleaning, you can use a car interior anti-fouling spray, which can form a protective film to effectively prevent the trunk mat from being contaminated by oil stains.
Check and clean the trunk mat regularly, and remove stains in time to avoid oil stains accumulating and becoming stubborn stains.
If the oil stains penetrate deeper, professional cleaning tools or equipment, such as high-temperature steam cleaners, may be needed to help better remove deep stains.
Through the above methods, oil stains and other difficult-to-clean substances can be effectively removed, thereby extending the service life of the trunk mat and keeping the car clean and comfortable. If the stains are too stubborn, it is recommended to contact a professional cleaning company in time.
