How to Clean Cloth Floor Mats

Step 1: Remove from the Dodge Charger

To keep the rest of your Dodge Charger's interior free from water and chemicals (car shampoo or soap), it is advised to take out your floor mats and place them on a clean, flat surface.

Step 2: Clean from dirt

Before washing, take your floor mat and shake it to remove debris and litter from it. Also, to remove extra dust and remaining filth, whack your mat against the flat surface. Do not hesitate to use a vacuum cleaner for even better results.

Step 3: Rinse mats

Apply clean water, either from the hose or bucket. The water will flow inside and remove some of the dirt or make it easier to wash it off.

Step 4: Apply cloth floor mat washing agents

After the mats dry a bit, it is time for soap, special vehicle shampoo, or chemical cleaners. Apply it evenly over the entire surface of the wet mat with the help of a brush. Leave it for a while, but don`t let it dry.

Step 5: Wash everything off

Wash off the applied agent from left to right, from top to bottom. In this way, all the dirt will be "pulled up" and completely washed away. Use brushes or rags to reach complicated areas. Repeat directional washing once again.

Step 6: Dry Dodge Charger mats

Place your mats on a clean, flat surface or hang them over a fence to dry. Do not leave them in direct sunlight. After the mats become completely dry, place them back in the car.

Clean the air conditioning system of Dodge Charger

During operation, a lot of things that should not be there — dust, dirt, moisture, small debris, and sometimes even mold — are collected in the Dodge Charger's ventilation system. All this can give an unpleasant smell to the cabin, especially if the air conditioner is working at full capacity. The air is saturated with this stench and disperses it around the interior.

To avoid the presence of undesirable odors in the Dodge Charger, one has to clean the interior`s ventilation system. Here are the three ways to do this:
  • Take your Dodge Charger to professionals who definitely know their task and procedure. They’ll carry out a comprehensive cleaning of air ducts and the ventilation system in general.
  • Afford AC disinfectant. How to use it: turn on the air conditioner, select the air intake method, choose "recirculation in the cabin" mode, and spray the air conditioner cleaner into one of the cabin air intakes. This will clean the ventilation and remove the stench.
  • Clean air shafts manually. If you want to save money, you can perform air shafts cleaning on your own. However, this method is the hardest because you need to disassemble half of the air conditioning system, get to the middle of the air ducts, and manually clean all the dirt from there.

If you are not sure that you can handle it, better leave this task to an experienced mechanic.

Change Dodge Charger's cabin filter

The main task of the cabin filter is to clean the air from debris and pollution. And over time, it gets clogged. Dirt and an unpleasant smell begin to accumulate in it, and as a result, they get into the cabin. It is necessary to replace the cabin filter with a new one, and then clean air will enter the Dodge Charger. The recommended replacement interval is 15–30 thousand miles.

If you don't know the location of your cabin filter or how to replace it, peep inside your Charger owner’s manual section.

How to create a pleasant aroma in the Dodge Charger cabin

After all the distasteful smells are eliminated, it is time to ensure the pleasant odors appear in the Dodge Charger. A nice aroma not only creates a pleasant and cozy atmosphere inside the cabin, but it also makes you and your passengers feel more cheerful and comfortable during the trip

Air Freshener

Air fresheners not only provide a nice aroma, but also prevent the arousal of other smells. Air fresheners can have different forms (round, square, triangle, in the form of various objects), sizes, and odors (sea breeze, forest, fruits, etc.). Different forms of air fresheners allow you to place them almost everywhere: hang them on a rear mirror, attach to the air vent grill, or locate them in an open compartment like a cup holder.

The availability of options and combinations possible may stun you for a while; however, it gives you an opportunity to choose an air freshener to your taste.

Odor Bomb

Odor bomb is a special can with a substance that penetrates into every part of the interior and eliminates smells and bacteria that cause them. It means that your Charger`s interior will remain fresh and clean for a long period of time.

  • Release can`s content to the interior;
  • Close all of your windows and shut every door;
  • Wait 4-6 hours until odor bomb does it`s job;
  • After retrieving the can, leave your car to air out for 30 minutes.

Conclusion

Bad smells inside Dodge Charger can affect your driving experience and even spoil your mood. Unnatural odors inside are usually consequences of recent activities or indicators that something might be wrong and needs to be fixed ASAP.

To prevent undesirable smells from appearing in your Charger again, you can use either air freshener or an odor bomb. A huge variety of odors and their forms gives you the opportunity to choose the best option for you.

A nice aroma inside the vehicle not only soaks up smells and creates a refreshing effect but also makes your and your passengers' trips pleasant and comfortable.
