If you opt for the water and vinegar mixture, you will need a cloth to rub the upholstery. Then you'll have to let the car air and cool for a few hours before finally spraying an air freshener.

Cleaning and keeping the interior of your car in good condition will contribute to making your driving experience more pleasant, and traveling with your dog or another pet shouldn't be an obstacle to keeping it clean and looking good.
