Work from top to bottom: dashboard and vents first, then the steering wheel, controls and door panels, then seats and lower trim. Use an interior wipe on dashboards, leather and trim, and a dedicated screen wipe on touchscreens. Test any new wipe on a small hidden area first.

Car interior cleaning, answered.
What order should I clean my car interior in?
Work from top to bottom: dashboard and vents first, then the steering wheel, controls and door panels, then seats and lower trim. Clean screens last with a dedicated screen wipe so dust from other surfaces does not land on them.
Can I clean leather car seats with wipes?
Yes, with a wipe made for car interiors. Wipex Lavender AutoWipes are gentle on leather and trim. Test on a small hidden area first, especially on older, coated or delicate leather, and follow your vehicle manufacturer's care guidance.
Can I use the same wipe on my car's touchscreen?
Use a dedicated screen wipe. Wipex Touchscreen Wipes are compatible with most touchscreens and streak-free on touchscreens and consoles. Check your manufacturer's screen-care guidance before first use.
How big are AutoWipes?
Each AutoWipe measures 7" × 8", with 40 wipes per canister. The cone-shaped canister fits most cupholders, so wipes stay within reach.
How often should I wipe down my car interior?
It depends on how you use the car. Rideshare, fleet and rental vehicles benefit from a quick wipe-down between rides or shifts; for a personal car, a quick pass whenever you notice dust or spills keeps it from building up.
Do car interior wipes disinfect?
Not all of them. Wipex AutoWipes and Touchscreen Wipes are cleaning wipes, not disinfectants. If you need to disinfect, choose an EPA-registered disinfecting wipe and follow its label directions.
