When regular cold or carbonated drinks and hot drinks spill in your car, they cause large stains that will stick for a long time if not cleaned quickly, in addition to causing unpleasant odors that will remain in the car.
Our cars are prone to spills at any time, as we drink tea, coffee, and soft drinks almost daily, which increases the chances of spilling them on the floors, center console, dashboard, steering wheel, and other areas, not to mention our clothes, of course.
There are important tips to follow in case drinks are spilled in your car, or you can book a car wash in Kuwait through the Motorgy app or website.
This service allows you to request a professional cleaning team to wash and clean your car inside and out in front of your home, saving you the hassle of going to the car wash, waiting for a long time, and not being guaranteed results.

Steps for cleaning up spilled drinks in your car
The steps for cleaning up spilled drinks in your car are as follows:
Step 1
The first thing you should do when any drink is spilled in your car is to park the car in a safe place so that you can immediately begin the cleaning process, because cleaning it while driving may cause a major accident while you are busy removing it. Make sure not to touch the spilled area until you have come to a complete stop.
Step 2
Wipe up the spilled liquid with a dry cloth or paper towel to absorb as much of it as possible before it seeps into the fabric, perforated leather, or flooring, and so that it does not leave a mark on the dashboard, center console, or any other part.
Step 3
Use a special car cleaner for both the upholstery and the plastic and wooden parts, and be sure to follow the instructions on the cleaner's packaging, as some of them need to be vacuumed after a certain period of time, and some products need to be rubbed for a certain amount of time to remove stains.

Step 4
Now spray the cleaner on the area where the drink was spilled, then wipe it with a cloth or leave it for a period of time as recommended. If you do not have any type of cleaner, you can use water, as it will also remove a large amount of the spilled liquid.
Step 5
Now rub the stain thoroughly with a dry cotton towel or soft cleaning brush, making sure to cover the entire area where the drink was spilled so that the cleaning process is thorough and no part is left uncleaned.
Step 6
After scrubbing thoroughly, wipe off the excess cleaner with a clean, dry paper towel or regular towel, and try to wipe it off thoroughly so that no traces of the cleaner remain, as some types contain chemicals and must be wiped off thoroughly.

Step 7
Now soak a clean towel in lukewarm water and wipe the stain to remove any cleaning fluid residue, ensuring that all spilled liquid is absorbed and any marks left by the stain are removed.
Step 8
After completing all the previous steps, park your car outside with the windows open to quickly dry the stained area, or take out the cleaned floors and place them in the sun or outdoors until they are completely dry.
Step 9
Check the stained area after it dries and make sure that all traces of the liquid and its smell have completely disappeared. If anything remains, repeat the cleaning steps until you are sure that it has been completely removed.
