Keep Your Car Clean when You Have Messy Children!

Parents who have children often drive around with them understand the pain of having to look at their back seats and see a slew of food crumbs, food spills, toys, and other interior damage. No matter what your vehicle habits are, your car can quickly turn into a mess. Car maintenance can be a challenge for road trips as well as daily commutes around town. Here are some tricks and tips to keep your car clean, even when you're on long car rides with kids.

No Food Rule

To avoid a back seat that is full of crumb, it is easy to establish a no food rule inside the vehicle. The best way to reduce food spillage and food from getting caught in the crevices of your seats is to prohibit food from being eaten on the road. This will be an easy rule for those who only ride in the car with their children on short trips. This rule may not be popular for a road trip. You can limit snacks to easy-to-eat foods.

Cupcake Liners in Cup Holders

Are you familiar with all the cupcake liners you may have lying around that you won't use? These cupcake liners actually serve a purpose! These cupcake liners can be used to clean your cup holders. This will not only keep your cup holders clean but it also makes it easier to empty the cup holders of any trash. You can simply take out the cupcake liners and dispose of them.

Bath Rugs as Floor Mats

Dirty shoes, spilled food and drinks can cause the most damage to car floor mats. Place extra bath rugs under your car seats. This will not only protect your car floor mats but also make it easy to clean up any food scraps. It is easy to remove the bath rug from your trash can and shake it around.

Behind the Seat Trash Bag, Seat Cover

A reusable trash bag can be placed behind each or both front seats to help control trash. This will allow for easy cleanup and can be used even by younger children.

You can invest in a cover for the behind of your seat if your car has a light interior. These covers protect your car from damage caused by kicking and smudging and are great kick protectors.

We hope you find these tips and tricks helpful in keeping your car clean.
