If one of your New Year's resolutions this year is centered around keeping your family organized and removing all the clutter in your life, then LCM Used Car Center wants to help! Your vehicle is your go to space when running errands or bringing kids to practices and school. The constant task of picking up and dropping off can do a number on the cleanliness of your vehicle. This is why we are offering all of you in the greater Lancaster area some tips for how to keep your car in good order, no matter how hectic your life gets.
For a first sweep through, remove all the trash that is stashed under seats and in the center console. Things like wrappers, empty bottles and food containers, basically all of the things that were tossed on the floor. This will improve the overall look of the vehicle, and the smell since it ensures that no leftover food is hiding somewhere underneath something.
The next step is to focus on the clutter in your car. This includes things like children's sports equipment, games, maybe even items for the beach. In this situation we suggest you implement the "six-month rule." Think about whether or not the items were used in the last six months, and if not, perhaps they need to be placed in alternative storage areas like the garage or basement. If an item doesn't apply to the current season, organize it in a box that can be easily accessible for the right time of year. This will do wonders to improve the amount of clutter in your car.
Once you have made a thorough sweep and removed unnecessary trash, why not include the family and have them assist in organizing the items they need to keep in the vehicle. This way each person will have their area clean and clutter free, while storing only the items they actually need. A cleaner vehicle will create a stress free environment where your children can simply relax and enjoy the ride.
