Spring brings with it a welcome sense of renewal—and your Volvo deserves the same. As we transition into the new season, it’s the perfect time to give your vehicle a little extra care. A clean and well-maintained Volvo is more than just visually appealing—it supports long-term performance, comfort, and safety.
Whether you're heading out for weekend drives or daily commutes, these easy spring cleaning tips can help you step into the season feeling refreshed behind the wheel.
Clear out the winter clutter
Start with the cabin. Remove any unnecessary items from under seats and in storage areas. A clean and organized interior helps create a calm and focused driving environment—something Volvo owners value deeply. Wipe down interior surfaces, vacuum the floor mats, and clean inside the windows for improved visibility and a more enjoyable ride.
Give the exterior a full wash and wax
Road salt and winter grime can linger long after the snow has melted. A thorough wash, especially along the lower panels and underbody, helps protect your Volvo’s finish from corrosion. A fresh coat of wax adds another layer of protection—and restores that signature Volvo shine.
Replace the cabin air filter
With spring comes pollen. Replacing your cabin air filter improves interior air quality and keeps your climate control system running efficiently. If your Volvo has an advanced air purification system, keeping it in top shape enhances the comfort and wellbeing of everyone on board.
Inspect your tires
Tire pressure often fluctuates with changing temperatures. Check for proper inflation, examine tread depth, and look for signs of uneven wear. If you’ve been driving on winter tires, now is the time to switch back to all-season options. Proper tires support better handling, fuel efficiency, and ride comfort.
Check your wiper blades and top off fluids
Winter can take a toll on windshield wipers. If you're noticing streaks or skipping, it's time to replace them. Be sure to check your windshield washer fluid, oil, brake fluid, and coolant levels—routine upkeep like this helps your Volvo perform at its best in every season.
