6 Easy Car Maintenance Tips - Black & Decker

With the dust flying all around, our vehicles that are parked in the open air really face the brunt of it all. Most places don’t have an easy car wash facility, and in any case it is not always possible to go to an external agency to get your car cleaned. We can start with some simple ways to easily maintain the car, and here are some tips:

Avoid messy food in the car: Make it a rule to minimize or avoid food that might lead to a mess on the upholstery. This includes biscuits or crumbly cakes, or anything that is in a semi-liquid state. Try to stick to dry food that can be made into bite size portions and just popped into the mouth.

Use water effectively: You can wash your car quite easily with an optimal amount of water. There is no need to leave the pipe or tap running for a long time, instead try other methods such as using a pressure washer which uses the motor pressure to clean your car very efficiently.

Cleaning the seats: Before shampooing the seats, remove all the loose particles using a compact vacuum. Black & Decker for example has some cordless models like the Orb-it that are great for quick cleanups on the go, as well as auto vacuums designed for cleaning car interiors. A vacuum is the best way to reach all the nooks and folds of the seats.

The right cloth: It is very important to use the right cloth to wipe the car and especially the glass portions of it. A microfiber cloth works very well for wiping the glass without leaving any stains, as well as cleaning well. There are other options available for the metal portion, but a soft cloth that does not leave behind fibers is ideal.

Check under the bonnet: Don’t forget to check under your hood once all the cosmetic cleaning is complete. Though most good service centers will check for coolant and other needs regularly. It is always better for us to have an idea too.

Polishing: A final step that can be done once every few months is to give the car a good coat of a high grade wax or polish. Use the advised cloth to apply, and then a good machine such as the polisher from Black & Decker to give the final shine.

Introducing some lesser known tools - Black & Decker

Other than the usual set of tools and appliances that are usually quite well known, such as the vacuum or the drill kit, there are also a few less known ones that we do not hear of too much. You would be surprised once you hear of them, as they can be very useful for tasks around the house. Here’s a short look at some of them:

Pressure Washer: When it comes to cleaning your car or your garden area, nothing can beat the pressure washer. If you are concerned about the loss of water, it can actually conserve water compared to using a hose, as the mechanism allows you to control and spray only what is necessary. The force of the water also makes the cleaning more efficient so you will need less water in that way too. Black & Decker brings you a range of pressure washers, and you can choose the one that would suit your requirement.

Paint Roller: Try one of these to paint your wall the next time you need a repaint and you will never call any painters home again. The innovative RapidRoller from Black & Decker is even more efficient than using a standard roller with tray, as the paint is stored directly in the device and makes the entire process less messy and quicker.

Blower: A blower comes with different settings for different tasks, which makes it very versatile. It can be used for cleaning delicate devices like computer CPUs and also for clearing dry leaves from your garden. The B & D blower comes with a vacuum attachment too.

Car Polisher: If you thought that the car service centre was the only place you could go to for a polishing job, you will be pleasantly surprized to try the car polisher and see how easy it makes your job. It can be used to polish the car as well as other metal or painted surfaces with great results.

I hope this short introduction of the above tools was interesting enough to make you want to go and check them out at our stores. Please do see our website for more details of these products, as well as for a map with our store locations in India.
