Keeping your vehicle clean can be a bit of a daunting task, we get that. So, this week we want to help you get things squared away and cleaned up. Let’s get started with your guide on organizing your vehicle! 

Of course, we always want to start with a fresh, clean slate. So that means it’s time to clean up your vehicle and empty out your trunk. While you’re removing items, separate them into keep and trash piles. Your trash pile should have a recycle pile to properly dispose of items that can be recycled. Next, move on to the actual cleaning portion. Use your vacuum to get rid of any dirt or built-up crumbs under your seat. Clean your windows, dashboard, and even your seats. You’ll thank me later. The items that you want to keep inside your vehicle are things like an emergency kit, a blanket, bottled water, and windshield washer fluid. Think about items that you would need in case of an emergency and choose to keep those items in your car. 

Now it’s time to decide how you want to organize your vehicle. Sometimes this can be the most difficult part of organizing your vehicle. But it’s actually pretty easy! For items like windshield washer fluid, oils, other objects that like to roll around your trunk, use a shower caddy to keep them organized and upright to prevent spilling in your trunk. That’s a mess you don’t want to deal with later on. If you have children and have a lot of miscellaneous items, a small tote to keep all those items in one spot will work wonders for you. A cargo organizer designed specifically for the trunk of a vehicle can be a great option as well.  If you’re looking to keep your groceries organized, try using hooks designed for doors or hangers to help keep squishable items off the floor. 

Next, we recommend keeping all your trash in one central location by using a portable trash can. Nothing is worse than finding old, crumpled up food wrappers. So, designate a plastic bag and location to dump your trash when you’re out on the road. And empty it as soon as you stop! 

Lastly, your glove compartment is known for being an exploding filing cabinet. Been there, done that and it’s time to find a solution. I recommend investing in an expandable, tabbed folder that will keep all your important information and documents in one central location for easy access.
