Great test for cleaning the inside of the car "Dyson DC61"
There is an automatic car wash machine for cleaning the exterior, and if the vehicle has a car coating applied, just rinsing it with plenty of water will make the body shiny and make you feel like a new car.
But cleaning the inside of the car is troublesome. You need a powerful vacuum cleaner to remove the debris that gets into the carpet (no matter how much time you have to remove it one by one by hand). It would be nice if I could always use a long hose vacuum cleaner at a gas station or a coin car wash, but on weekends, cars with automatic car wash machines often get stuck in traffic.
"That's why the dealer cleans the entire car during inspections and maintenance," says Serizawa, senior manager of her Strategic Business Unit, Mediagene Co., Ltd., which usually supports Gizmodo. .. She loves surfing on snowboards and is a nursery school for children, so she loves a domestic 4x4 5 number minivan that can carry luggage, has a large interior, is fuel efficient, and is strong on snowy roads.
"It's not a hobby car, it's a car as a tool, so I just clean it a little when I'm worried about it," he said, and he has been reluctant to clean it for the past three years since he bought it with a new car.
No, the human content is also important. Your heart must be beautiful. I want to clean not only the exterior of the car but also the interior. You want to get rid of the garbage that you can't see.
What kind of items should be prepared to clean the inside of the car efficiently and in a short time in order to fulfill the ideal of ...?
The recommended Gizmodo is Dyson's handy cleaner "DC61 Motor Head". Everyone who thought, "Isn't Dyson's vacuum cleaner for indoor use?" No, Ichimichi is not familiar with all arts (by Miyamoto Musashi).
It's cordless, compact, and comes with a variety of tools from the beginning, so it's easy to reach not only in wide and flat places, but also in narrow and intricate places.In addition, Dyson's original digital motor produces a strong suction force, and the cyclone firmly separates even fine dust, so the strong suction force continues. And it catches dust and fine dust that has entered the fiber in the clear bin without missing it. Of course, it's best to have them play an active part in cleaning their homes and futons, and have them work outdoors during the weekend's car cleaning time.
The drive time of "DC61" when fully charged is 20 minutes, and when the mini motor head is used regularly, it is 17 minutes. How far can you clean the inside of a minivan in these 17 to 20 minutes?
I learned when cleaning an apartment with "DC74", but the basics of cleaning are from top to bottom. The trick is to clean the floor at the end to suck in all the dust that has fallen during cleaning. So I will go from here at first.
The base of the front window and the rubber frame with the four power windows lowered are where dust and sand (and pollen) tend to collect. I will clean this with a gap nozzle. Mr. Serizawa says, "I usually wipe my hands with a wet wipe." However, if you wipe it quickly, dust and other substances containing water may remain, so I would like to clean it with "DC61" first. ..
Suction time ・ 1 minuteSince the main task is to clean the details inside the dashboard and doors, use a slender head. The air conditioner louver (outlet) uses the brush part of the combination nozzle to suck the surface by tracing it.
After cleaning the looper, replace the head with a gap nozzle. Next, let's suck in small parts such as glove boxes, drink holders, and door pockets. It's OK if dust and dirt can be removed. Wipe it with a wet tissue as you would around the window.
Suction time ・ 2 minutes (total 3 minutes so far)"I usually fold the third row of seats and use it as a luggage room," so I'm going to clean a total of four seats: driver's seat, passenger seat, center seat (1), and baby seat (1). ..
Clean the gaps in the headrest, the base of the backrest, etc. with the combination nozzle (depending on the model, the gap nozzle may be better). Then, clean the backrest and the flat surface of the seat with a mini motor head.
The "DC61" has a turbo strong mode that increases the suction power, but this time I was surprised that "Oh! There was so much dust!" Even in the normal mode, so I cleaned it only in the normal mode.
The step part where you put your foot when getting on and off, the floor mat, the floor where the floor mat is removed, and the base part of the driver's seat and passenger seat. Use combination nozzles and mini motor heads to clean these areas.
The step part sucks soil & sand while moving the combination nozzle like sweeping with a broom.
Next, remove the floor mat and use the mini motor head outside the car. Since it is a place where shoes are always placed, a lot of dust often penetrates to the bottom of the mat, but if you press the mini motor head so that there is no gap, it will penetrate to the bottom of the mat with strong suction power. I won't miss even my hair.
Finally, clean the floor under the floor mat with a combination nozzle. If you haven't cleaned it completely for a few years, you might want to use a mini motor head here as well.
Suction time ・ 3 minutes (11 minutes in total so far)"It depends on the season, but I usually carry surfboards or snowboards, and strollers." When I looked at the luggage room, a small white lump was falling. "Oh, that's the wax on the board. Well, this kind of trash is falling."
Cleaning the inside of the car will be the last one here, so let's do it well. First, unload all the luggage and clean the fixing bracket part of the folding rear seat with the gap nozzle.
Then use the mini motor head to clean the luggage room floor, walk-in space, and the feet of the center seat. As expected, the floor of a minivan. It is a vast land. It is worth cleaning. The battery is still fine, and I wish I had been cleaning it over and over again.
"It looks like a new car! It will be so beautiful!" Aside from the discoloration of the rubbed part, the carpet has been restored to the point where it makes you want to lie down. The effect of the mini motor head is amazing.
Suction time ・ 5 minutes (16 minutes in total so far)Even after cleaning the inside of the car, the battery is still alive. So I tried to smoke the lower part of the front wiper, which is the exterior part. It is a place where sand tends to collect, so sweep it with the tip of the combination nozzle. If you want to increase the suction power, lower the brush part and press the tip against the dust.
It's not in this season, but be sure to pick up big trash like dead leaves in advance.
Suction time ・ 1 minute (17 minutes in total so far)Thank you for your support, "DC61". However, cleaning the inside of a minivan can be done with a single charge. Actually, I thought it would be impossible to charge it once, so I brought a spare "DC61", but there was no turn. Oyabun, I'm doing it.
With this, you can clean a light car, a coupe, and a sedan with a single charge. It may be tough if it is a 3 number minivan, but if you clean it diligently, it will be a no problem!
And here is the result of the work. Taken from sand, dust, gravel, grass, branches, hair, board wax, candy pieces, etc. I was told, "Hey! I'm embarrassed, so don't publish it!", But I'm sorry.
However, even if the dealer cleans the vehicle at the time of vehicle inspection, this amount of garbage will be generated. Considering allergens that are invisible to the eye, regular cleaning of the car at home with a powerful cleaner is essential.
Cleaning the inside of the car is one of the scenes where Dyson's unique technology lives on, with the suction power not changing until the end. The overall length is short, lightweight and cordless, so it is easy to use even in narrow places, and the appropriate head can be used properly according to the place to be cleaned, so cleaning time is short.
It's not just your car. The "Dyson DC61 Motor Head" is a must-have cleaning item for companies that own company cars. Let's go get permission from your wife or accounting.
