Toronto spring cleaning time is now and here's how to prep your car | Daily Hive | National

Toronto's spring cleaning season is here, and prepping your car for warm weather starts with a thorough interior refresh. Begin by clearing the cabin of clutter and removing carpets, then vacuum deeply, paying special attention to hard‑to‑reach areas under seats, around the steering wheel, door panels, and the trunk. If you have weatherproofing mats, wipe them with a damp cloth. A quick trip through a carwash can help lift salt and grime and complement the interior work. Tackling these steps helps ensure a safer, more comfortable ride as summer approaches.

Simple checks on basic functions matter, such as headlights, taillights, wiper blades, and fluid levels. A professional maintenance check can examine components not easily seen, including cabin filters, brake fluid, and critical systems like alignment, engine performance, and transmission. When it comes to tires, retire winter sets and consider long‑lasting All‑Season options.
