As above,done mine this afternoon and it took me almost 2 hours to clean it out with the kids,i think they must have tipped the biscuit barrel all over the place in the back .Am i the only one that takes this long,or can anyone else beat it.

They aint like the living room carpets, 10-20 mins to do a good job. Cars are fiddly & have many nooks & crannies.
I take around the same to do a good job

Same with me looks at 1st to be a 10 min job then i look in the back seat where my son.s seat is and that it 1 hour . Just keep finding more to clean up after him.

On top of the tons of waste sweetie paper, biscuit remains, various DNA samples etc. from my two granddaughters, i've now got the added delight of cleaning up after 2 jack russell pups SWMBO could knit a jumper after every trip with the dog hairs!!!!!

[unlucky mark mv6]

Everytime i clean the car out,i have a moan to the missus,and all i get back is dont have the oppsing kids then if you dont want the mess,then again cant really expect anything different from a female.

[Blackie_No1]

Mine has leather in it, so ten mins is the longest it has taken me!  and that was after two months of not cleaning!!  Though I have a strict no eating in the car rule for the kids.....

Usually takes me three days++ to do an all round valet; the inside takes at least a day of hoovering with the micro-toolkit and soft paintbrush for the vents and dials, soft brush for the headlining, stiff brush for (velour) seats and carpets, headrests out, mats washed and dried, door pockets etc emptied and hoovered, rear shelf hoovered and de-pilled, all plastics wiped down, glass degreased and polished, binnacle cleaned etc etc, boot then takes a few hours.

I like it to be done properly, but recently have been working on mechanics too much, so a quick shake of the mats is all it gets...

4 Kosovans, 4 industrial vacuums, around 3 or 4 mins, whilst another 2 polishing the glass.  A sight to behold.


Shame they always hang a bloody air freshener from the mirror

Don't know whether to PMSL or hold my water?

[belldarr]

Took me 30 seconds to vacuum mine earlier - only ever me that gets in it so I done the drivers mat, the footwell under the mat and then the center console gets a bit dusty.

Now the family MPV that the kids get ferried around in - that's a totally different ball game
