The Perfect Detailing Cheat Sheet
A DIY checklist to create a healthy car environment for all parents & workaholics!
By: The J&J Team
Let’s be honest, maintaining a clean car is no easy task! When juggling a full-time job, and being an awesome parent, finding the time to clean your car can seem so impossible.
Between all the carpooling, errands, and work commitments, who has the energy to deal with coffee stains, or snack spills, or even just the every-day mess?
But imagine if you didn’t have to sacrifice your whole day off just to clean your car. Adding simple, manageable cleaning adjustments is all you need to keep your car looking great without all the stress.
1. Create a Car Maintenace Schedule
Creating a cleaning schedule can be a game-changer for busy parents. Set aside just 15 minutes each week, perhaps on a Saturday morning before the chaos begins, to quickly declutter and vacuum the car. This small, consistent effort will keep your car tidy and save you from feeling overwhelmed by messes that pile up over time. Plus, it’s a great way to start the weekend feeling accomplished and ready for anything!
2. Have Some Interior Supplies Handy
Keep cleaning supplies handy by storing a small box of essentials right in your car. Think wet wipes for those sticky fingers, a handheld vacuum for crumbs, and a microfiber cloth for quick wipe-downs. With these tools at your fingertips, you'll be ready to tackle any mess, no matter where your busy day takes you.
3. Buy Yourself a Simple Car Seat Organizer
East & On-The-Go storage can be a lifesaver for busy parents. Invest in backseat and trunk organizers to keep toys, snacks, and work items neatly in place. This way, everything has a spot, making it easier to find what you need quickly and keeping your car clutter-free. Plus, you'll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a tidy and organized space, even on your busiest days.
4. Add a Seat Cover (Pet Lovers)
Dealing with pet hair in the car can be a real challenge. Keep things simple by using seat covers when traveling with pets and having a lint roller handy for quick cleanups. Regularly brushing will also help reduce shedding and keep your car looking neat, so you can focus on enjoying family outings without the hassle.
5. Involve The Kiddos
Get the kids involved and turn car cleaning into a fun family activity! Assign age-appropriate tasks like gathering trash or wiping down surfaces. Not only will this lighten your load, but it also teaches your children responsibility and the value of a clean space. Plus, working together can make cleaning a lot more enjoyable for everyone!
So, hopefully now you realize that maintaining a clean car isn’t too overwhelming. Just by adding a few minor adjustments can make a huge difference for the well-being of your car and your sanity. Sure, there will be times when larger messes and spills appear… but don’t worry, we’re here to help.
