The hidden face of dirty, festering
cars is revealed in a list of the most appalling finds and stomach churning car
litter. It appears that some car owners
have no shame when sending their car for a spring clean. WeLoveAnyCar.com asked car cleaners to list their top 10 hates.

How Dirty Can A Car Be? |
Car Cleaners: The Top 10 Dirty Car Finds
- Dried 'boogies' on the underside of the steering wheel
- Rancid food including cheese, meat and putrid vegetables
- Used tissues loaded
- Baby and kid vomit
- Slime and mould – usually as a result of wet garments and shoes
- Used nappies and other sanitary items
- Vermin including mice, fleas, worms and maggots
- Disgusting smells – unspecified
- Cigarette butts and ash
- Mud, animal dung, oil, grass sludge, etc
Money Doesn't Mean Clean
Cars are often the second biggest asset people own. According to car cleaners, however, the value
of the car is often odds with the garbage found in it. One car cleaner (who didn't
want to be named) said, “I’ve cleaned cars worth over £100,000 and they've made
me physically sick with the smell and the stuff I've found in them.”

Driver Detritus
Car cleaners turn a blind eye to most driver detritus. The competitive nature of car cleaning services has cut the cost of a car valet in real terms and they can’t afford to be too fussy. However the line has to be drawn when it comes to the unsafe and the hazardous. A list of items found by car cleaners included:
- A dead bird: “I wondered where the feathers came from.”
- Maggots: “I forgot to take the maggot jar out last month, I thought flies in the car was strange”
- Dirty nappy: “Oh yes. We were caught short. I meant to take it out last month”
- Packed lunch: “Robin went on a school trip. That was three months ago.”
- Putrid meat: “I couldn't resist that farmers market last month.”
Posh Lady - Expensive Car - Dirty Little Secrets
Some car owners even leave sanitary materials and other intimate items in their car. One car cleaner said, “Nothing surprises me
now. I’ve seen everything and quite
often even the poshest lady driver can have the most surprising dirty little secrets
hidden in their car.”
WeLoveAnycar.com is probably the biggest car review site in the World. Car owners rate the economy, driving experience, reliability and if they would recommend their car to another driver. It doesn't rate car cleanliness.
