Is your dashboard dusty?
Do you long for a dust-free dashboard? How do you keep your dashboard dust-free? One of the things that I like is a clean dash. A microfiber cloth will pick up the surface dust but any small gaps or crevices will hold onto the dust. If those gaps have dust in them it doesn’t matter how clean the other surfaces are it just doesn’t look clean.
How to keep your dashboard dust-free
All the buttons and switches are always picking up dust. It’s a car, it sits outside, the windows go down, dust-laden air comes in and a new layer of dust will soon grace my dash. So how do I keep it clean without sending it to a detailing shop? A microfiber cloth will pick up the easy stuff but what about those crevices. A simple tool that you probably already have will help you keep that dash dust-free in a very short time.
The paintbrush
Welcome to the paintbrush. This brush has long soft bristles that will whisk away the dust without scratching up the plastic. The bristles can easily get between and in the smallest of crevices. The small buttons on the steering wheel and the dash vents will soon be dust-free.
Beyond the dash, the rearview mirror and the visors await their turn, it is up to the user’s imagination how useful this simple tool can be. It is amazing how many surfaces you can clean in 1 minute using the paintbrush. Its shape will allow it to be stored easily in the door side pockets, glove box or under the seat for easy access.
I would recommend using a new brush. I have a 2″ brush in each of my vehicles whose only purpose is to brush down the dash. At less than a dollar each, a great repurposed tool. Because the brush is kept in the car(mine is under the driver’s seat) I can easily dust the dash and other areas as I wait for my vehicle to warm up.
How I use it
I used to work for a local bus transportation company. It was expected that we kept our buses clean every day and that included the dash. The yard where our buses were parked was a dirt/gravel surface with farmland all around the yard. It was total dust every day that it did not rain.
So I learned that the paintbrush was the ideal tool for such an environment. I could keep it close and use it while the bus warmed up. I’d start at the visors and work my way down. In a matter of a few minutes by dash looked great.
