Car Cover Cleaning Tips

[Note: Even if you aren't a Vegas resident, these car cover cleaning tips work nationwide and other countries and solar systems where water is abundant. DISCLAIMER: This advice is from experience, and we are not liable for any damage to the cover because of strong detergents, tearing, or other factors.]

Many of our Las Vegas customers want to get dust out of their covers after the monsoon season (officially starting in July) hits their cover with the dust or mud that rains from the sky. Even though the cover protects the vehicle from this skyborne sandpaper, it gets dirty. In other parts of the country, leaves and birds do a number on covers as well. This is the part where people come back and ask how to clean them.

First: KEEP IT OUT OF THE WASHER! There are very few washing machines that can wash a car cover without ripping it to pieces. This is one of those times where you have to go back to the 1900s and use a bucket and water with some mild detergent. With most covers, you're dealing in a big bucket.

Second, a little "pre-wash" can go a long way. If you put the cover on the car and rinse it off with a garden hose, you can spend less time on the repeating process below.

Third, use as little detergent as you can, but about 5 or more gallons of water. A kiddie pool works great for these occasions, and if you don't have kids you can buy one for $8. Kiddie pools are also good for cooling beverages at big parties. Try to use warm water, but cold water works alright as well.

Fourth, rinse and repeat. The inner lining of Wolf Car Covers is always great to prevent scratches, but you don't want sand in the cover, then you need to rinse after washing. A really dirty cover requires a lot more rinsing and repeating. This is where the pre-wash can help, because throwing a dirty cover in a kiddie pool can transfer the outer dirt to the inner lining.

Fifth, air dry. Most of our local suburbs here don't let people have wash lines in their back yards, but you can always improvise. The cover should be dried thoroughly, so if you are in a freezing climate you should not allow the cover to get frozen when wet. Chunks of ice can cause tearing.

For other questions, you can always ask the manufacturer at 1-877-427-8166 (For Wolf Noah Evolution (Technalon) Block-It and other covers). They have tips for different fabric types.
