thuds burst presents genius car cleaning
axe number one prevent items from
falling between the center of the seat
and the console part of keeping your
vehicle clean is prevention almost
everyone has dropped something in
between the seat and the console and in
some cases it can be your phone and it
can be real hard to reach what it falls
down there if you eat in the car you can
easily drop crumbs or french fries even
dirt and pollen find its way into this
space creating a mess in between the
best way to keep this from happening is
to get a piece of pipe insulation cut it
to the appropriate size and stuff it
between the seat and the console this
will create a barrier so that you never
need to worry about anything falling
down there again
number two remove stubborn stains from
hard-to-reach places there are plenty of
small spaces and grooves in your vehicle
and when you're cleaning these places
can be difficult to reach for example if
your drink spilled over in your cup
holder and the liquid dries and leaves a
sticky mess behind when it comes time to
clean your vehicle you might not be able
to reach those small spaces the best way
to get these stubborn stains out is to
use a mr. Clean Magic Eraser the soap in
the sponge is strong enough to remove
even the most stubborn stains and the
magic eraser itself is small it can also
be folded and bent so that it can reach
the smallest areas of the vehicle number
three cleaning dust from the vents if
you don't keep the vents in your vehicle
clean each time you turn on the heat or
the air conditioner your blowing dust
out around the car and into your face
what's worse it can be a real pain to
shove a rag into each of these vents
trying to clean them even if the rag
you're using would work your finger may
not fit in with the rag and that makes
removing the dust from deep inside those
vents difficult the best way to remove
all the dust quickly and easily is to
use a sponge brush it'll fit perfectly
inside the vents and the dust will stick
to the sponge
of all you can find these sponges at any
hardware store or craft store and they
cost less than a dollar this is one of
the easiest cheapest and most genius car
cleaning acts number four make a natural
air freshener if you're tired of hanging
a scented tree from your rear-view
mirror to keep your car smelling good
you should think about using essential

scents and they are all natural you can
make a great air freshener using
essential oils on your own all you need
is a clothespin cotton balls used for
crafts a hot glue gun and a bottle of
your favorite essential oils first place
five drops of hot glue on the clothespin
and place a cotton ball over each drop
next pour a bit of your favorite
essential oils on each of the cotton
balls if you have a unique blend you
like you can use that too when the glue
and the oil have dried you can clip the
clothespin on your visor or one of the
vents or in any place you can find put
it when the smell starts to fade you can
pour more of your essential oils onto
the cotton balls number five sanitize

keep tissues with you in your vehicle
most people keep napkins in the glove
box so that they can blow their nose the
only problem with this is that they can
be difficult to reach when you're
driving if you want to keep tissues in
your vehicle and you don't want to take
up too much space you can make your own
tissue dispenser start by cutting a
rectangular hole in the middle of
of a coffee cup next get a new box of
tissues and cut them in half when you
put the tissues in the cup you can pull
each one through the lid of the cup
that's the ball you can keep it right
there in your cup holder you no longer
need to worry about reaching for napkins
or a tissue box rolling all around the
floor number seven vacuuming your
vehicle it's good idea to vacuum your
vehicle regularly that'll remove all the
dirt and debris that you bring into the
vehicle on your feet if you have a
vacuum with a special wand that is
shaped to remove dirt from small places
great if not you can make your own start
by placing a cardboard to from a roll of
paper towels over the end of the vacuum
wand secure it to the wand with duct
tape next brush the other end of the
tube so that it has a narrow opening and
secure that ends with duct tape as well
that'll help you create a small wand
that can get into those small cracks and
crevices in your vehicle number eight

should always keep a trash can in your
car if you blow your nose if you eat you
got food wrappers or if you have any
type of waste you can't just throw it
out the window if you do well you're
risk being fined for littering instead

don't need to buy a large bulky trash
can from the store instead make your own
all you need is a plastic cereal
container and a plastic bag you can open
and close the cereal container when you
need to throw something away so you
don't need to worry about the trash
