5 Clues for a Clutter-Free Car

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Keeping a clean car is easier than you think. Here’s five clues to keeping your car clutter free.

1. Each time you leave your car, scan the floors and cup holders for trash. Throw the trash out no matter where your day takes you to prevent your car from smelling. Sometimes I find myself throwing my car trash out inside a bank lobby or an office building. If you must, designate a garbage spot inside your car. 

2. Clean out your trunk on a regular basis to avoid toting miscellaneous stuff around. For example, in the winter take out the umbrellas and sports equipment. In the summer remove the ice scraper and the sidewalk salt. 

3. If you work out of your car, stop loose papers from spreading by using pocketed folders, an expandable file, a file tote, or a mobile office. 

4.  Do pay attention to the little things- sunglasses, CDs, coins, pens, gum, etc. All of these little things add up. Make sure each of these doesn’t get out of control by having an organizer or system in place.

5.  Items that pertain to running errands (i.e. dry cleaning) and purchases we need to return to stores add to car clutter. Designate one bin or container to collect and catch these items in your car’s backseat or trunk. This way you won’t miss the opportunity while out of the house, forget the overdue library books, or loose the DVD you have to return to Blockbuster.
