Final Tips to Maintain a Clean Car

Keeping the car tidy can be a fun family adventure!

Start with quick cleanouts after every trip—get everyone involved in tossing out trash and organizing loose items. Set a weekly car decluttering routine where everyone pitches in—kids can gather their toys, organize snacks, and wipe down surfaces. Make it feel like a game by timing each person to see who can clean up their space the fastest! Turn it into a bonding activity where everyone takes ownership of their area, teaching kids responsibility while keeping the car looking great.

With a little teamwork, you’ll have a clutter-free car and a lot more fun along the way!
