Tips for Keeping Your Car Clean
Keeping the inside of your car clean can be a chore, especially if you have kids. Dirt, crumbs, and toys can build up pretty quickly. Here are some tips to help keep your car clean:
Regular vacuuming will help keep dirt and crumbs under control.
Consider have a "no food allowed" policy if crumbs and spills get to be too bad.
Remove any trash from the car every time you get out so that it doesn't build up.
It you can, hang a trash bag somewhere in the car that can be periodically emptied.
Take books, clothing and toys inside whenever you get home. Ask your kids to grab items that they brought in the car too.
Grab your floor mats and shake them out in between vacuuming.
Consider using seat covers that you can wash.
Keep baby wipes or auto wipes in the car. The next time you are stuck in traffic or waiting to pick someone up, wipe down parts of the interior.

Keep Baby Wipes Handy in Your Car
I keep a container of baby wipes in the car for quick cleanups -- the dust that accumulates on the dash board, spilled juice, muddy puppy paws. Saves on time and stress (from constantly looking at a dirty car interior).
