How to use

For best results with our multi-purpose Interior Cleaner:

1. Remove any loose debris or dust from the surface.
2. Lightly vacuum fabrics or carpets to lift dry particles before applying the cleaner.
3. Spray the product directly onto the surface, or onto a clean cloth for more controlled cleaning.
4. Allow a short contact time for the solution to penetrate and lift dirt.
5. Gently agitate with a clean, damp microfibre cloth or soft brush to lift ingrained dirt. Avoid over scrubbing, especially on delicate fabrics or coloured trims.
6. Wipe away with a clean, dry cloth to remove residue and moisture. For fabrics, avoid soaking – use minimal product and blot dry if necessary.
7. For use on exterior surfaces, spray onto affected areas (front bumpers, mirrors, windscreens). Allow a few minutes dwell time to soften residue. Rinse thoroughly with clean water or wipe away with a damp cloth.

Pro Tips for Best Results
✅ Work in shaded conditions – avoid using on hot surfaces to prevent quick evaporation.
✅ Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application.
✅ Use separate cloths for interior plastics and fabrics to prevent cross-contamination.
✅ Follow with a protective dressing on plastics or vinyl for a factory-fresh finish.
✅ For strong odours, repeat cleaning with fresh cloths – most smells come from residue reabsorption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is Nielsen Interior Cleaner safe on all interior materials?

Yes, it’s formulated for use on plastics, vinyls, dashboards, carpets, fabrics, upholstery, door cards, and trim. Its balanced, non-caustic chemistry means it cleans effectively without damaging textures, colours, or finishes.

Q2: Can I use Nielsen Interior Cleaner on leather seats?

It can be used on coated or synthetic leather, but for genuine leather, we recommend a dedicated leather cleaner. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Q3: Will Nielsen Interior Cleaner leave a shine or residue on plastics?

No, it’s designed to dry to a natural, matte finish with no streaks, stickiness, or glossy film. This makes it ideal for vehicles where a factory-fresh look is preferred.

Q4: Can Nielsen Interior Cleaner be used on exterior surfaces?

Yes, it’s effective at removing insect residue, bug splatter, and light grime from paintwork and glass. Apply, allow a few minutes dwell time, then rinse or wipe away.

Q5: Does it help with odours inside the vehicle?

Indirectly, yes. By lifting and removing the residues that cause odours (food spills, bacteria, organic build-up), it helps freshen the cabin. For persistent smells, a second application or fabric-specific treatment may be needed.

Q6: How much product should I use for general cleaning?

A light spray is usually enough. For fabrics, avoid oversoaking. Use minimal product and blot dry where necessary to prevent water marks.

Q7: Is it safe for regular or weekly interior maintenance?

Absolutely. The low-foam, gentle formulation makes it suitable for routine cleaning without causing wear, fading, or material degradation over time.

Q8: Can I use it with brushes, cloths, or machine extractors?

Yes. It works well with microfibres, soft detailing brushes, and upholstery tools. For wet-vac extractors, apply sparingly and follow equipment manufacturer guidance.
