From Dash to Doors: A Better Way to Clean Your Car

Keeping a vehicle clean can feel nearly impossible. Cars quickly turn into second homes—commuter offices, snack stations, change rooms, and kid hangout zones—yet they rarely receive the same level of cleaning attention as our homes.

Add children to the mix, and the mess multiplies fast: toys, shoes, crumbs, sticky fingerprints, spilled snacks, crushed crackers, mystery stains, and smudged windows. Pets don’t help either, with fur embedded deep into seats and carpets.

And let’s be honest—adults contribute their fair share too. Coffee drips, receipts, grocery lists, and leftover crumbs all add up.

Most people tackle car cleaning with an arsenal of sprays, wipes, paper towels, and harsh-smelling chemicals. But there’s a simpler, safer, and far more effective approach: cleaning your car with Norwex. With high-performance microfiber and thoughtfully designed cleaning solutions, you can refresh your entire vehicle—without chemical residue or overpowering scents.

How to Clean Your Vehicle Efficiently with Norwex

Before you begin, remove loose items and vacuum floors and upholstery thoroughly (sadly, Norwex hasn’t made a vacuum… yet).

Once that’s done, here’s how to transform your car from dash to doors.

Norwex Window Cloth (or Window Cloth Mitt)

The Norwex Window Cloth is designed to dry, polish, and refine surfaces to a streak-free finish. While it excels at glass and mirrors, it can also be used interchangeably with the Car Cloth for light interior wiping when needed.

Use the Window Cloth dry to remove moisture and fingerprints or slightly damp for light cleaning. It’s especially helpful when you want a clear, polished look without residue.

• Door panels and handles
• Interior trim
• Interior windows (interchangeable with the Window Cloth)

Use Car Cloth lightly dampened to refresh hard surfaces, or wipe interior glass for a fast, effective clean without switching cloths. It’s a versatile, grab-and-go option for maintaining a healthy vehicle environment without chemical sprays.

Norwex Rubber Brush

Pet owners, this one’s essential. The Rubber Brush uses flexible rubber bristles to loosen and lift embedded pet hair from fabric surfaces.

It works far better than lint rollers or vacuums alone—especially for stubborn fur.

Norwex Leather Shine (For Vehicles with Leather Upholstery)

If your vehicle has leather seats or trim, proper care is essential to keep it looking and feeling its best. Norwex Leather Shine is formulated to nourish leather while helping protect it from drying, cracking, and everyday wear.

Best for:

• Leather seats
• Leather door panels and armrests
• Leather-trimmed steering wheels

After cleaning leather surfaces with a damp Enviro Cloth, apply a small amount of Leather Shine using a soft cloth and work it evenly into the leather. It helps replenish natural oils, enhances suppleness, and adds a protective layer that supports long-term durability—without leaving a greasy or overly shiny finish.

Regular use helps keep leather upholstery comfortable, conditioned, and looking beautifully maintained.

Odour Eliminator

After your vehicle is clean, freshening the air naturally is the final touch. Norwex Odour Eliminator offers powerful odor elimination that works instantly. Enzymes eliminate odors, rather than simply masking them. It provides a subtle fragrance without synthetic perfumes or harsh chemicals often found in traditional air fresheners.

Best for:

• Eliminating lingering odors
• Refreshing the air after cleaning
• Maintaining a light, clean scent between deep cleans

Simply spray where offensive odors exist. Direct a light mist toward the ceiling, allowing it to completely refresh the area. It offers a soft, continuous scent that complements a freshly cleaned vehicle rather than masking odours.

It’s an easy, low-maintenance way to keep your car smelling as clean as it looks.

And for those of you who like a like a clear Step-by-Step list, here it is:

How to Clean Your Car with Norwex

1. Start with a thorough vacuum.
   Remove all loose items and vacuum carpets, floor mats, and upholstery to eliminate dirt, crumbs, and debris. (Still no Norwex vacuum… yet!)
2. Remove pet hair with the Rubber Brush.
   If pets regularly ride along, use the Norwex Rubber Brush on fabric seats, carpets, and cargo areas to lift embedded hair before wiping or spot-cleaning.
3. Wipe down interior surfaces with the Enviro Cloth.
   Using a lightly damp Norwex Enviro Cloth, clean the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, door panels, door handles, and cup holders. Rinse the cloth as needed to keep lifting grime effectively.
4. Clean and polish interior windows.
   Wipe one window at a time with the damp Enviro Cloth, then immediately dry and polish using the Norwex Window Cloth to achieve a clear, streak-free finish.
5. Maintain and finish interior hard surfaces with the Car Cloth and Dry and Buff Car Cloth.
   Use the Norwex Car Cloth (lightly damp) for routine interior wipe-downs and ongoing maintenance of dashboards, door panels, and trim.
   Follow with the Norwex Dry and Buff Car Cloth to remove any remaining moisture or fingerprints and gently buff surfaces to a clean, polished finish—without sprays or waxes.
6. Treat stains and ground-in dirt on fabric surfaces.
   Apply Norwex Carpet Stain Remover to carpets, floor mats, or fabric seats with visible stains. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then gently agitate with a damp Enviro Cloth. For tougher messes, use the Ultra Scrub Cloth.
7. Neutralize pet stains and lingering odors.
   For pet-related accidents or persistent odors, use Norwex Pet Stain & Odour Remover Concentrate as directed to break down odor-causing residue at the source.
8. Optional: Care for leather upholstery.
   If your vehicle has leather seats or leather-trimmed surfaces, lightly clean them first with a damp Enviro Cloth. Then apply a small amount of Norwex Leather Shine using a soft cloth, working it evenly into the leather. This helps replenish natural oils, maintain softness, and protect against drying and cracking without leaving a greasy finish.
9. Finish with a light, natural scent.
   Once your vehicle is fully clean, place a Norwex Home Scent sachet under a seat, in a door pocket, or in the trunk to gently freshen the air with a subtle, plant-based fragrance.
