Ditch that Junk in the Trunk and Get Organized




An organized car is a safe car!

If you have a bunch of loose items lying around in your car, they can easily become dangerous during an accident. Imagine that stray shoe in your back seat flying at you going 50mph…not cool. Cleaning up your car will also help you avoid distracted driving. Digging around through the stuff in your car means taking your eyes off the road, which is never a good thing. Let’s get safe and organized!

Lighten You Load:

The first step organizing your car is taking everything out, and yes, I mean everything! Everything from the mess of papers in your glove box, to the clutter in your door pockets needs to be sorted through. Once everything is out you can decided what is trash, and what important documents you need to hang on to. Give your car a good vacuuming, and remember to get under the floor mats.

Purge the Trunk:


Most people unknowingly carry around the weight of an extra person in their trunk. Be honest with yourself, what do you really need? Keep basic items that you may need in an emergency situation. Seasonal items should only be carried during the season they are needed. Lightening your load may help preserve your tire ware and improve your gas mileage.

Get organized:

Car organizers come in all shapes and sizes! Get an organizer for the trunk, and seating area so you can have a place for everything you need to carry in your car. Try to avoid any organizers that hang on the back of the seat as a passenger may become injured due to a sudden stop or crash



Finally, enjoy your organized car! You are now ready to hit the road.
