How long does it take for a new car to feel like a trash receptacle? Not long. Especially if there’s children involved. There are ways to keep one’s Honda organized and tidy, without breaking the bank or feeling like they need to trade it in for a new one. Try out these tricks before hitting that Los Angeles dealership to opt out for a cleaner Honda.
A Place For The Purse
Too many passengers and nowhere to sling a purse? Tying one end of a scarf to the head rest and wrapping the other end to the purse can free up leg space. It can feel a bit meticulous, and wouldn’t need to be done every single time. It’s more for when there are multiple passengers, and one can’t afford shoe prints on her handbag.
Head To Feet
Speaking of shoe prints, sometimes it’s essential to keep a change of shoes in the car. Whether it’s due to climate, outdoor sports and activities, or for emergency. Dirty shoes with caked on mud are bound to dry up and leave clumps all over the floor of the car. Slipping dirty shoes into shower caps can catch all the dirt before it hits the floor.
Trash, Trash, Trash
Lining a plastic or rubber cereal container with a plastic bag can make for a great trash can. Simply take the trash out when at the gas pump, and reline the container with a new bag. But where to keep these flimsy bags? They’re loud and hard to keep bunched together. Simply stuff the plastic bags into an empty tissue container, and then just pull them out as needed.
Sticky Icky Traps
Over time cup holders get sticky, and then everything in the world seems to be attracted to them. Dirt, lint, loose hairs, and even coins all manage to adhere themselves to the bottom of sticky cup holders as if they were somehow magnetized. A simple solution to this is using cupcake liners. They fit perfectly at the bottom of cup holders, and they catch any messes that may occur over time. The best part is that they’re disposable, so there’s no ill feelings toward throwing them away after they start getting a little nasty.
Loose Change
No one likes to admit it, but fast food and drive thru’s are definitely a thing. Aside from garbage (which should be going in the car’s new, nifty cereal container made trash can), there always seems to be an obscene amount of change floating around the car. Use an empty gum container to store loose change and then take that change to the bank!
