Keeping Your Car Neat and Organized

Keeping your home clutter-free can be challenging enough, but many of us face the additional challenge of keeping our cars neat and organized as well.

Below are a few tips to help you keep your home away from home clutter free and tidy.

1. Empty everything out of your car and clean the inside thoroughly. Make sure to vacuum as well. Then take the items you need to put back in and sort them so you'll know where they are if you need them.
2. Keep a trash bin in your car. Whether a small plastic bag or one designed specifically to hang on the back of a seat.
3. Create a children's activity kit for long road trips filled with items to keep the kids occupied. You can use a small plastic bin or canvas bag filled with items such as: crayons and paper, playing cards, books, small toys or electronic games, and snacks and juice boxes. Having these items in the car can contribute to stress free driving.
4. A CD holder made for visors can be used for far more than just holding CDs. You can keep coffee cards, coupons, gift certificates and important papers stored there as well.
5. Keep a small first aid kit in your glove compartment packed with the basics: band-aids, gauze, tape, insect repellent, and pain relievers.
6. Lastly, make sure to carry emergency items in the trunk such as: booster cables, flashlight, blanket, and a bottle of water.

Always remember, a little extra pre-planning can go a long way!
Happy Travels...
