Finger Scrub MittCar Interior Scrubbing Mitt
Twin pack — two mitts per order
The Finger Scrub Mitt slips over your fingers, so the pressure comes from your fingertips rather than your palm. One side is a nylon bristle fabric that lifts grime out of upholstery, carpet, vinyl and plastic; flip it and the other side is soft microfibre for wiping the residue away. One tool, two jobs, and a size that gets into seat seams, vents, switchgear and rails where a flat pad won't reach. Two in a pack.
At A Glance
Why You'll Love It
Worn over your fingers, the force comes from your fingertips instead of your whole hand. You feel what you're scrubbing and you can lean on one spot without leaning on everything around it.
Bristle side lifts the grime, microfibre side takes it away. No putting a pad down to pick a cloth up with a wet hand, which is exactly when things get dropped in a footwell.
Seat seams, seat rails, vents, switchgear, the gap where the seatbelt buckle lives. A flat pad can't reach them and a folded cloth can't apply pressure there.
One for the dirty work and one kept cleaner for finishing, or simply one per hand. At £5.25 for two it's the cheapest upgrade to an interior clean there is.
What Is A Finger Scrub Mitt?
Worth being plain about this, because the name is ambiguous: this is a car interior cleaning tool, not an exfoliating glove. It is a small two-sided mitt that fits over your fingers, made from a nylon bristle-type fabric on one face and soft microfibre on the other.
Interior cleaning is different from exterior work in one important way. Outside, you are removing something sitting on a hard surface. Inside, most of what you are cleaning has worked its way into something soft — grime in the weave of a seat, a spill dried into carpet, greasy fingerprint film in the texture of a moulded plastic door card. A flat cloth slides over that texture; it needs agitation to get down into it and lift the dirt out.
That is what the nylon side does. The nylon fibres are stiff enough to work into a weave or a grain and pull contamination up, but soft enough not to mark trim or scuff vinyl. Then you flip to the microfibre face and wipe away the cleaner and everything it has released — which is the step that decides whether a panel looks clean or looks smeared.
The finger fit is what separates it from a flat pad. Your fingertips are far more precise than your palm, so you can put real pressure on one stubborn spot without scrubbing the whole panel, and you can get into narrow gaps where a rectangular pad simply will not go. It was designed as the evolution of our Interior Scrubbing Pad for exactly that reason — and both still have a job, which is what the comparison below covers.
"Interior dirt isn't sitting on the surface, it's down in the weave. You need something that gets into the texture and lifts it out, then something that wipes it away. This is both."
— Duel AutocareIs It Right For You?

How To Use It
Interior surfaces want a lighter mix than most people use. Start weak; you can always go again. Spray the surface, and mist the nylon face of the mitt as well.
Get it seated properly so it doesn't rotate mid-scrub. The pressure should be coming from your fingertips — that's the point of the product.
Small overlapping passes, no heavy pressure. On a seat, work with the weave. On textured plastic, work across the grain so the bristles get into it rather than skate over it.
Turn the mitt over and take away the cleaner and everything it has lifted, before it dries back down onto the surface. A separate General Purpose cloth is useful if there's a lot of residue.
Rinse the nylon side in clean warm water between heavily soiled areas so you aren't moving dirt around. Then machine wash at 30°C with Duel Laundry when the job's done. See our guide: How To Use A Finger Scrub Mitt.

| Best at | Control on a specific spot, and reaching into gaps | Getting through a lot of surface quickly |
Same two materials, different tool. It comes down to how the force reaches the surface. A pad spreads it across your palm, which is what you want when there's a lot of ground to cover. The mitt concentrates it at your fingertips, which is what you want when one mark needs working at, or when the spot you're aiming for is narrower than your hand. If you do full interiors regularly you'll end up using both in the same session. Browse both at Interior Scrubbers.
