The door frames in your Kia are usually the first to end up getting bumped, scraped, or dirty when you get in and out of the car. This makes your door sills some of the most important interior accessories -- namely, the first lines of defense against damage.

Of course, they can use all the help they can get lasting longer themselves. One of the easiest ways to prevent them wearing out? Keep them clean: there are two simple ways to do that.

One is pretty obvious: wash them with plain old soap and water; it works great for getting rid of everyday dirt and dust. Pro tip, though: try wiping them down with an 25% isopropyl alcohol/75% water solution. You'll see results pretty quickly: it'll really cut through stuck-on grime.

What to do in both cases is straightforward. Before starting, though, check the door sills for corrosion, cracks, or breaks, and if you notice any, replace the sills first; we sell genuine Kia replacements, they're guaranteed to fit, and our discounts are steep.

To wash with soap and water, wipe off the door sills with a clean, dry cloth, combine the soap and water in a spray bottle and mix it, spray the solution on each sill, wipe them clean of soap residue with another cloth (solely for wet use), and dispose of the mixture. To wipe with alcohol, fill a spray bottle with alcohol and water in the right ratio and mix them, spray the solution on the door sills, and wipe the sills clean with a dry cloth.
