If you saw my post earlier this week about Spring Cleaning the outside of your home, you will probably like this post. Today I will be talking about cleaning your car. If you are spring cleaning, you might as well do your car as well! I know I always feel better when my car is clean and ready to go for warmer weather. Here are a few tips of things you can do to prepare for warmer days so you can roll that window down and enjoy yourself during rides:
- De-clutter your car – The first step, of course, would to be to get rid of all that trash from your drive-thru runs through Burger King or Chick-Fil-A. It’s amazing how fast that trash can pile up, isn’t it? I believe it’s because we don’t spend most of our time in our car, so we’re not constantly looking at it, like we are in our home.
- Vacuum – Vacuum up that salt that you tracked in from the winter and any leaves from the fall. There’s nothing like fresh, clean floors, even in your car!
- Tune Up – If you know someone who knows a lot about cars, consider asking them to check everything about your car out. If you have to, go to a mechanic (but make sure you check around for prices to get the best deal). If you will be going away for spring break or during summer, this is definitely a Must Do. Making sure your car is in tip-top shape will take out the fear of breaking down during your vacation – definitely don’t want to put a damper on a good time!
- Reevaluate Your Car Insurance – You probably would not have thought of this, but now would be a good time to reevaluate your automobile insurance, especially if your policy is about to expire. You may be able to get a cheaper rate with another company. You can never pass up on saving some money!
What do you do to get your car in shape during spring cleaning for warmer weather?
I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
I love a clean car, my son helps me! Glad to meet you happy WW come visit our WW
My husband really needs t read this his van is just horrible.
Often times when I don’t have time to clean our vehicle, car wash shop is the place I got into. It save my time and energy but not money. So my husband insisted that he will be the one who will do the cleaning, and I guess I better tell him your tips. Thanks a lot for sharing!
