Toyota Aygo’s canvas roof – how to clean it

If you have a full-length canvas roof fitted to your Toyota Aygo, it’s important to take care when cleaning it. We’ll show you the best way to ensure that the Aygo’s canvas roof remains showroom-fresh for years to come.

To clean the roof of your distinctive hatchback, you will need the following equipment:

1. A handheld vacuum
2. A dustpan and brush
3. A clean sponge
4. A bucket filled with clean lukewarm water and hand soap

First, ensure your power-operated roof is fully in the closed position and all windows and doors are also closed.

Then begin cleaning by running the handheld vacuum over the canvas section of your Aygo’s roof, to remove any excess dirt or dust.

Use the brush to remove any pieces of remaining dirt.

Wet the sponge in the water and hand soap solution, and clean the roof thoroughly using a circular motion.

Rinse the Aygo’s canvas roof with a hose, or clean and rinse the bucket and re-fill it with clean water and pour the water onto the car.

Dry the vehicle’s bodywork and windows with a chamois or lint-free microfibre cloth.

You should avoid using automated car washes or high pressure handheld jet washers when cleaning Aygo models fitted with the canvas roof.
