Keep Your Car Clean All Year With These Tips

The new year does not mean that your kids learned to keep the car tidy. Or the world has not learned how to not keep you so busy. This year try out these tips and hacks from Woman’s Day to help keep your car clean all year round! Keep organized, learn some deep cleaning tricks, and a fun DIY you can do to keep crayon’s organized.

Organization hacks

A shoe organizer behind the passenger seat is great organization for you and your kids. Use the organizer for snacks or toys so your kids have easy access, and a place to put items back. Similarly, a remote control holder can be placed under booster seats for storage. Place snacks, toys, or colored pencils and paper for your little one.

Cleaning Tips

Cupcake liners in your cupholders will change your life. Use plastic ones to catch random items so they are easy to take out, but also plastic can be cleaned. The cupcake liners come inside and get washed, saving you time from scrubbing your cupholders. For trash, keep plastic bags in an old tissue box as a quick grab-and-go garbage bag. Or make one out of a plastic cereal container and plastic bag.

Keep your headlights bright by cleaning them with toothpaste! Spray with warm water and use a paper towel to remove and rest easy knowing you are driving safer. An easy way to clean air vents is with a sponge craft brush from the dollar store. Use the brush to remove dust and grime. Catch dust with coffee filters too, by dabbing on olive oil and watch the dust accumulate on the filter.

Kids Corner

Your life is about to be changed when you learn that you can DIY a DVD case for a car-craft. All you need is an old DVD case, some paper, colored pencils, and some extra fabric. Take the old DVD case and hot glue some fabric to make a pouch. Add in paper and colored pencils, and you have an on-the-go crafts station for the kids!
