Your car can look perfectly presentable from the outside. The seats are wiped, the dashboard has a nice shine, and maybe you even use one of those little car fresheners to keep things smelling good.

But here’s the slightly uncomfortable part: some of the dirtiest places in your car are the ones you barely notice.

Think about everything that happens inside a car. You eat on the go, drink coffee, touch your phone, sneeze, adjust the AC, open the boot, and get in with dusty shoes. Yet when it comes to cleaning, most of us focus on the obvious surfaces.

The result? A car that looks clean can still have plenty of overlooked spots collecting dirt, dust, crumbs and grime.

Here are some corners worth checking the next time you clean your car.
