This way, you can get rid of the exterior dust and pollen and reduce the amount you take inside the car and house with you from brushing up against it with clothes or bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/01100252\/car-washing_b.png\" alt=\"A man washing a car\" class=\"wp-image-13423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/01100252\/car-washing_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2024\/04\/01100252\/car-washing_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in a city with tons of dust and pollen, then we suggest you wash your car every other week. This way, you can keep your car clean, but you don\u2019t need to go overboard with it and rack up that water bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a long commute, see tons of bird or animal droppings on your car, or live in an area with a lot of air pollution, we also suggest washing your car frequently. However, if you don\u2019t drive your car very often, have a short commute, or live in a cooler climate, then you can get by with washing your car every month or every other month. However, it is ultimately up to you to decide how often you want to wash your car and if you want to DIY it, or take it to the car wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/blog\/how-to-change-the-tire-on-your-mercedes-benz-suv\/\"><strong>How to change the tire on your Mercedes-Benz SUV<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What do I need to wash my car?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some supplies you\u2019ll want to have if you\u2019re planning on washing your car.
