Chances are you have a thing or two in your car from the chaos of daily life. From empty coffee cups and jackets to soccer balls and hiking shoes, cars tend to collect artifacts of all shapes and sizes. This summer, make it a goal to keep your car as clean as possible with these five tips:
1. Keep a trash bag in the car. This way, it’ll be much easier and convenient to collect trash and then throw it away. It can be anything from a grocery store plastic bag to a specially-made car trash bag that you can buy online or in stores.
2. Get your car washed regularly. This will prevent damage to your paint and will keep your tires free from dirt and grime. It also instills a sense of pride when your car is freshly cleaned and sparkling!
3. Only bring stuff for that day. While keeping a full wardrobe in your car is nice once and a while, it clutters your car quite a bit. If it’s cold, go ahead and bring a jacket, but maybe reconsider packing for a month-long trek.
4. Keep an air freshener. It will keep your car smelling terrific and have you in a great mood all the time. A nice smelling car will motivate you to keep it clean!
. 5. Keep car cleaners like Armor All in your glovebox so you can catch any spills, drips, or dust immediately! Keeping napkins is also handy — just ask for them whenever you go through a drive-through eatery and store them for future messes!
