Kids have a special talent for making the cleanest places look like a tornado went through in less than ten seconds. All it takes is for you to leave the room and return within seconds and you’ll be asking what happened and how it all happened so fast. When it comes to keeping the car clean, the same holds true. Kids are just messy, that’s who they are! The car has this ability to attract dirty socks, lost cheerios, spilled drinks, and trash that multiplies. It’s like the corner cushion in the couch, things disappear never to be seen again. Keeping a car organized with kids is no easy task, but it can be done. Not only can it be done, you’ll be thankful when things are much more organized and you can count on finding what you need when you’re on your way out the door.

If your car needs a makeover, here are a few tips to refresh your car:

Car Organizer

Car organizers are amazing. If you have a designated space for items that stay in the car, then you’ll never have to worry about looking for them. We have designated spots to hold the kids headphones for movies, sunglasses, umbrellas, and more. Instead of the kids melting down when they can’t find something, we know exactly where to look because we have everything organized. This solves a lot of meltdowns and helps us get to where we need to go on time.

Emergency Items

Every car needs emergency items. You’ll never regret keeping extra diapers, first-aid items, flashlights, and cleaning items on hand. When you’re running out the door with kids in toe, you’re likely to forget something or someone is bound to need something you didn’t think of. I have run out of diapers before and have been so thankful to have extras in the car! Keep emergency items on hand and organized in the car and you won’t regret it!

A Place for Trash

A place to throw trash in the vehicle is a must have when it comes to keeping the car clean and organized. It’s a lot easier to keep the car clean if you are keeping up with it as you go. Get your kids in on helping you keep the car clean! It’s a great way to teach them to take care of things that belong to us so that they can last longer!
