Would you like to drive around Springfield in a vehicle so clean that even its engine is spotless? With products you already use around your home, you can clean your vehicle’s engine.

On a warm, dry morning, raise your hood. Due to potential water damage, protect exposed electronics with plastic baggies. Also, loosen your battery’s negative connection. For separate cleaning, detach your engine’s plastic components. Wash those in a shallow basin.

Grab your grease-cutting cleaner from under your sink, and spray it onto your engine. Cover its exterior. Use additional spray on areas with dense grime. Some areas will require scrubbing. We prefer firm brushes with synthetic bristles. Metal bristles can cause flaws. After allowing your household spray ample time to work, grab your garden hose. Rinse your engine with medium pressure. As the engine dries, dab it with a lint-free towel. Remove the baggies, and reconnect every component you detached. Your clean engine will surely make you smile.
