The start of a new year brings with it many great ideas mostly based on how we are going to ‘right all wrongs’. These include resolutions to improve our eating habits, loose weight, exercise more, be more efficient at work to create more time for ourselves, to have more quality time for our families and to budget our finances better. All sound familiar? Whether or not you have followed through with any of these, some or all will certainly have crossed your mind.
If managing your finances better through a recession is one of your self-made tasks for the year then here is one step you could take to help save some money.  If you have a car and are responsible for its maintenance and upkeep then you are likely to want to keep it clean. For many of us we find it more convenient to drive to a car cleaning service to have the outside of the car cleaned and occasionally valeted too - but that costs money!

Cleaning a car your self may seem too time consuming to entertain the thought, but there are a number of gadgets available on the market to speed up the process and give a sparkling look to any car while saving time and money. One particular appliance to consider buying is a portable steam cleaner. With the daily bashing car interiors take, you may find that the usual cleaning methods of vacuuming and wiping down with a damp cloth don’t always work. If you’re struggling to shift ingrained stains, both inside and outside, a steam cleaner can help.

Steam Cleaning Tips (best done while car parked undercover or when not raining – remember you are using an electric appliance):
-   Remove mats and shack out the dirt and dust
-   Steam clean mats and hang on a washing line to air and dry thoroughly
-   Use a hand held vacuum cleaner to suck-up crumbs, grains of sand and small clumps of mud
-   Steam clean carpets
-   Leave windows or car doors open until carpets and upholstery are thoroughly dry - a steam cleaner will leave behind a residual amount of moisture so drying time will be quick.

A portable steam cleaner comes with a number of different attachments to clean and refresh the carpets and upholstery (not advisable to use on leather seats), to clean the interior and exterior windows using the squeegee attachment and to steam dirt and grime from the wheel arches and hubcaps.

By investing in a portable steam cleaner, not only can it be used to give your car a thorough DAY valet service, but it can also be used indoors to cut down time spent on a number of indoor chores without the use a household cleaning products – just water heated to 120 degrees Celsius.

The Domotec portable steam cleaner has 6 meters of electrical cable offering enough flexibility to move about in a room or to plug it indoors and take outside to your car. A brilliant gadget for quick and thorough cleaning!
