Keep Car Interiors Looking Newer Longer This Winter; New Scotchgard OXY Auto Carpet & Upholstery Spot Cleaner Combats Slush and Salt Stains

Slush. It's the antagonist to automobile interiors wherever this messy combination of water, dirt and salt is found. It penetrates upholstery and carpets, making them look dingy and worn and leaving unsightly white blotches. Fortunately, there is a way to protect car interiors from the perils of winter slush.

Introducing Scotchgard OXY Auto Carpet & Upholstery Spot Cleaner with Stain Protector, designed to remove stains in automobile interiors. Unlike other cleaners, this unique two-in-one spot cleaner dissolves stains from below the surface, so they cannot creep back up over time. Plus, it deposits Scotchgard protector anti-soiling agents onto the upholstery and carpet to help prevent future stains. It works quickly to neutralize odors and leave behind a pleasant fragrance without any sticky residue.

"Slush and salt are inevitable during wintertime. It's on sidewalks, driveways and roads, and you end up tracking it into your car from your shoes," said Harry Straub, brand manager at 3M, maker of Scotchgard Protector. "Scotchgard OXY Auto Carpet & Upholstery Spot Cleaner is a simple, reliable way for consumers to keep their car interior looking newer longer."

Whether it's salt from winter roads and sidewalks, sand from the beach, mud from a hiking trail or crumbs from lunch on the go, stains easily wipe up and do not resurface. The cleaner can be found nationwide at Pep Boys retailers.
