Eliminate the mess and reduce your stress (decluttering your car 101).


While using public transport has become a safety threat, the car has become the safest mode of transport during these times. Most of us started considering it as our second home. Now imagine a friend unexpectedly showing up at your house and the dirty clothes, unclean floor and odour make you both uncomfortable. It is the same if they are getting inside your car in similar condition. While it could be convenient to have things within reach, having things scattered around disorderly is embarrassing and creates a bad reputation. Imagine having to explain to your boss on a random day when he asks for a ride that the car is usually not this unclean. It speaks volumes about how careless a person is even though these are not deliberately done. Also, the reduced need for maintenance needs no explanation.

 

But having things around is convenient at times. Whether you're planning on a road trip or just a long drive for business it is not recommended to keep reaching for a bag every so often. A properly organized car is a lifesaver during these situations. So we, at ALD Automotive, are listing out some simple tricks you can do to keep it well organized and keep your reputation.

 

-       Use shoe organizers to reduce the messy look.

It is easy to carry around and you can keep everything from toys to deodorizers in it. Shoe organizers can usually carry a good amount of items while being space-saving. You will stop feeling the urge to toss things around once you have a proper storage system in your car. Hang one on the back of your passenger seat and never compromise on cleanliness.

 

-       Use cupcake liners to avoid dirt in cup holders.

It is frustrating when you make a decision to clean your car and this one place refuses to be clean. Yes, the cup holders. No matter how hard we try, the edges remain dirty. The coffee stains and condensation of the fibre that makes up the holders seem unpreventable so some accept it because it is too much. The easy hack for this inconvenience is to use a cupcake liner or similar disposable items at the base. This makes it effortless to clean your car thoroughly by just replacing them from time to time. It is not time consuming at all that it can be cleaned within seconds.

 

-       Be in control of the mess using remote control holders.

The moment when you hit a speed bump you know your phone is going to slide underneath the seat. You have to stop the car and find your phone before resuming driving. Remote control holders can hold your phones safe during those bumpy rides. It does not always have to be a phone in the holder. You can put anything that can fit in to be safe there. It is a minor addition that can save you from unnecessary burdens.

 

-       Recycle tissue boxes to store mini valuables.

After you get accustomed to your car you can find small things like plastic bags, mint and gums, tickets, coupons etc. filling up your dashboard. This cluttering is always unintentional. The best solution to reduce this mess is to use an old tissue box to store these items. You can customize it with a doodle or a paint job to show some personality and stick it on the dashboard. This simple trick only takes minutes and it takes zero effort. You can also use these boxes to store garbage bags, so you can avoid a mess later.

 

-       Cost-free substitute for the trash bin.

It is often impossible to realize how much trash we gather while on the road. From chocolate wrappers to used tissues are accumulated unknowingly in abundance that it could fill a whole trash bin. And to dispose of it you have to clean the car up by picking up each of it. You can do that or simply save the cardboard from your next e-commerce delivery and use it as a substitute trash can to make sure you don't have trash moving here and there when you speed up.

 

-       Never worry about the mess in the boot.

You go out and get groceries. Then somehow managed to get it all into your trunk. You reach home and you are disappointed to see most of the groceries crushed and barely usable. To avoid this chaos you can take a laundry basket the next time and organize your groceries to avoid having to deal with crushed groceries. It saves you time unloading the groceries at home and creates more space in your car's boot.

 

-       Activated charcoal to lose bad odour.

Even after the long drive with associates or a road trip with friends is over, one thing is certain to stay behind; the awful odour. We can't clean odour like we clean observable wastes. For this, you can use activated charcoal. You only have to keep an open bag of charcoal briquettes inside your car overnight. If you are unable to find charcoal, you can use a charcoal-activated dehumidifier to get rid of any nasty odour inside your car. It can work wonders in a single night.

 

As you can see, these are simple changes you can adopt to make your car reflect your personality. Also, a fresh ride will elevate your mood and can give you a pleasant day. Bring order, hygiene and neatness into your car to make it as fresh as possible. You can always add products for fragrances and lights to heighten its beauty. Never again feel embarrassed to open your door to people. As long as you feel good driving the car, it is going to be a smooth ride. But if the car has already taken so much damage it will be a stressful job to make it new. In that case, you have a simple option to upgrade your car with ALD Automotive. Just pick the best car for you and forget about the down payment, maintenance amount, hassles with insurance and getting a ton of money to buy a new one. With us, you can simply lease a car with a monthly payment which covers insurance, maintenance etc. And you don't have to wait till the damage increases to enjoy the benefits of leasing. It can start right now.  So, use these tricks to keep your new ride with ALD clean and never stress about the mess in your car again.
