Anyone who travels in a car for an extended amount of time knows how quickly the interior of a car can become cluttered. The degree to which the car interior becomes dirty depends on several factors. Who rides in the car with you or if you eat your breakfast in the car on the way to work are two variables which can drastically impact the cleanliness of your car’s interior. Fortunately there are many techniques and products available which address this issue.

So how do you constantly keep the inside of your car clean? Here are some helpful suggestions:

A Compact Car Trunk Organizer

Besides trash and crumbs, collect all the "debris" and loose ends strewn about your car and put them all in an organizer. It will give you all the space you want to hold your groceries, plants, the kids’ play things, and car maintenance tools. When not in use, the organizer will not eat up space in your car because it can be folded flat.

Mini Fridge

If you are travelling and need to keep perishables like food and drinks safe, a mini fridge will not use that much energy to keep your food and drink cool or warm. It can be plugged directly into your cigarette lighter. The fridge comes in both plastic and metal for easy and safe handling.

Car Seat Towel

If you have a landscaping project or going to do some excavation work, drape a towel over the driver’s seat so that it can help prevent dirt or grime spill-over onto the seats or floor of your car. These are perfect for when your pet has been playing in the yard all day and then needs to travel with you.

Windshield Cleaner

This important item comes with a convenient handle and is designed to clean hard-to-reach corners. You will never have to squint again while driving because your windshield is clear, offering maximum visibility!

Cup Holder

If you are always driving to the office with a warm cup of coffee that spills when you stop the car suddenly, a cup holder might be the perfect solution. This product can accommodate any size cup and will prevent spillage and splashing. Protect your car’s mats and upholstery with this clever and easy to install device.

Knick-knack Holder

Similar to a cup, this product has a space reserved for pencils, keys, straws, cell phone, sheets of paper, loose change and other items. Find what you are looking quickly and safely without bending or removing your eyes from the road.

Duct Cleaner

After a long trip, the ducts in your car’s heating/cooling systems tend to absorb various amounts of dust and accumulate grime. You can keep your car always smelling fresh with duct cleaning products. The duct cleaner also eliminates mold, bacteria and other allergens from the inside of your car!

Cover Protectors

Protect your car’s trunk or your SUV’s cargo section with durable cover protectors. If you regularly transport dirt, soil, recyclable waste and other items, cover protectors will keep your car looking spotless. Choose cover protectors that are water proof and tear-proof and buy the appropriate size.

Head Rest Trash Bags

The problem with using plastic bags as trash collectors is that they can easily tear or have tiny holes in them. Head rest trash bags can take hold more trash and are especially convenient for when you make those long road trips. They have a closure hook and loop that will prevent spilling over contents and can be secured in the headrest with sufficient stability.

Car Brush

Put an end to crumbs and dust with a portable mat brush. When your kids eat their snacks inside the car, food crumbs get all over the place: on the seats, on the floor and on inside cup holders. In a snap your brush will take out the most stubborn dirt and dust, keeping the inside of your car spic and span.

With these helpful suggestions, your car will be on its way to looking like it just rolled off the assembly line. With your car’s interior nice and clean, you should never be intimidated by the possibility of your mother-in-law, boss or friends questioning your sense of hygiene and cleanliness.
