Lexus Care Advice from Professional Detailers

Most Lexus dealerships, including us at Lexus of Memphis, have skilled detailing teams who can help tidy up your vehicle and make it look as shiny and clean as it looked when you drove it off the showroom lot for the first time. However, if you enjoy regularly cleaning your Lexus or want to know what to do immediately when a mess happens, here are a few recommendations from Lexus to clean your vehicle.

How To Clean Carpets

Lexus detailers say the number one rule with most Lexus carpet or carpet floormat spills is to avoid letting the liquid to dry out because drying leads to staining, and stains are not easy to remove. Lexus detailing teams can take care of most liquid spills as long as you take immediate steps. When you spill a liquid, here’s what you should do immediately.

First, gently blot the spill area with an absorbent cloth to get as much of the liquid out as possible. Lightly apply dish soap with a soft dish towel and blot the area again with a wet cloth to remove the soap and keep the area damp using a wet rag or cloth until you get your vehicle to your nearest Lexus dealership.

Note: Avoid using bathroom cleaners, solvents, and anything with ammonia to clean your Lexus’ interior.

If you spill a sticky substance that has hardened onto the carpet, you can most often remove it by gently but firmly rubbing a credit card back and forth over the area. You should also know that high-fructose corn syrup, often used in candy, fruit juices, and sports drinks, is usually impossible to remove without leaving a trace. So, Lexus detailers recommend you avoid bringing anything sugary, especially sports drinks, inside your vehicle.

How To Clean Your Seats and Dashboard Trims

Spills can also happen on the dashboard and seats when you keep liquids on the dash or spill liquids on your seats.

For both hard cabin surfaces like wood trims and soft materials like cloth/leather seats, or cloth/leather-covered trims and dashboards, spray a cleaner into a microfiber cloth and clean the surfaces. This way, you can avoid getting the cleaning liquid into the vents, buttons, seams, or speakers and avoid any damage.

Lexus detailers recommend using a non-concentrated, citrus-based all-purpose cleaner to clean your non-glass interior surfaces. Make sure to avoid using furniture or wood polish and common brand-name auto-interior cleaning products which might damage your Lexus dash materials

How To Clean Your Screens

Your Lexus vehicle comes with some of the most advanced infotainment systems, which may consist of one or more screens. And we all know the most common reason why screens get dirty and slimy is because of fingerprints. When cleaning your Lexus display screen, avoid using ammonia-based cleaners, which can damage the surface. Most Lexus detailers recommend glass cleaners as long as they don’t contain any ammonia.

Just like cleaning windows and other interior elements, Lexus professional detailers first spray the cleaner onto a lint-free microfiber cloth. In this case, just one light squirt and a gentle wipe on the screen are enough. Never use a microfiber cloth that has been dropped on the ground to clean your screens or windows, as it may pick up tiny particles from the ground which may scratch these glass surfaces.
