All the professional products for cleaning your car can be very expensive and really add up. Did you know that there are a lot of household items that you can use to keep your car shiny and new? Here are some car hacks for you.

Use Soda to Remove Corrosion

Using soda is a brilliant way to remove corrosion from your vehicle. Soda can be used to remove rust, which means it's not just good for drinking. Soda can even be used to remove some of the rusty spots on your muffler. Just pour the soda onto the rusted area, let it sit and bubble for about five minutes and then rinse it away. For rust deposits that are more stubborn, you might have to repeat this a few times. Be sure to rinse very well afterwards with water so you aren't left with a sticky residue on your vehicle.

Use Toothpaste to Make Your Headlights Shine Bright Again

Toothpaste just isn't for brushing your teeth anymore. Apparently, you can spread it on your headlights to make them shine. Just spread it on your dirty headlights, wait a few minutes, and then wash the toothpaste off. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how effective a layer of toothpaste can be when it comes to making your headlights look brand new!

Clean Your Car Mats by Throwing Them in the Washing Machine

If your car mats are carpeted and don't have any plastic or rubber on them, you can easily get them clean again by putting some stain remover on them and washing them in the washing machine. Most, if not all of the stains and dirt will come out.
