vacuum to clean car Page 2

If you want a vacuum to clean your car properly, go for a handheld or stick unit with at least 20–25 kPa suction and a motorised mini brush for carpets and mats.

Cordless is easiest in the driveway—aim for 30–60 minutes real runtime and a removable battery—while a compact wet/dry shop vac will embarrass sand, pet hair, and coffee spills.

Look for a HEPA filter, a crevice tool for seat rails, and a soft brush for vents so you’re not just redecorating the dash with dust.

A bin around 0.5–1.0 L saves constant emptying, and a flexible hose makes life less sweary around child seats and footwells.
