The first very important step is to turn off the air conditioning system in your car. Moje Auto CleanAir air conditioning cleaner must operate in a closed circuit, so only the air conditioning must be turned on and the air conditioning must be turned off.

Then place the seats in a vertical position. Check if all windows in the car are tightly closed, if not, close them.
