Need advice on cleaning my car's cup holders?

i use clorox or lysol wipes. i keep a tub of them in my truck (i also have a husband and a child so it is for this type of thing) i stick the wipe in and twist until the crud comes off. i do this instead of the sprays because i have had the sprays loosen up the stuff and have it run into the carpet in my truck. good luck

When this happens to me (which is more often than it should, to be honest) I spray the cup holder with windex or another cleaner and let it sit for a few minutes while I do the windshield. Then, use a paper towel to clean it out. To get all the little areas that are hard to reach, set a napkin on it put a cup inside, and twist it side to side. The cup will mold the napkin to the sides, getting everything you may have missed.
