Day 12: Declutter Your Car’s Glove Box

Step 3: Toss into the bag:
- Yucky tissues

- Anything you don’t need or use.
Step 4: Throw your bag into the trash.
And you’re done!

DONE! just need to vaccum the car out now!
Done. Amazing how much more goes into the car than out!
Glove box was already tidy, so I cleaned out the trunk. Apparently we were transporting junk with us everywhere….so much better now!
Wow that really needed to be done. Trash mostly. Quick to pick up and throw away. Since I had time and noticed how horrid the windows were with the sun shinning in them decided to quickly clean them. What a difference! (0=
done… now need to vacuum it out, but too many regular tasks yet to do today.
We seldom use the car so it’s always tidy.
So I’ve tidied my bedside table first drawer (my bedroom junk drawer).
We just bought the car not too long ago, so haven’t had a chance to fill it up yet. :0)
Cleaned the pocket in the back too.
Done!
Took care of this last weekend.
Done. Now to keep it clean!
Done! Did this last weekend!
FYI, the husband is starting to get on board with this. He had the day off work, and did a major reorganization of the garage, and filled two trash cans with stuff to go to the curb tomorrow!
Done! I have been trying to keep up anyway as we seem to “live ” in the car some weeks. This last quick clean out before we leave on a long trip this weekend was needed. Thanks
DONE!!! My van looks and even feels better to be in! And, I heard a tip a while back about using pledge or furniture polish for the dashboard, man- it works great! Really makes it look new!
I’ve done all of the tasks from day one until now and it’s really helping me feel more ‘excited’ about my home!
great idea. we forget about this. I recently registered my phone and cleaned it then.
Done! I cleaned the car over the weekend, but forgot to check the glove box, so thanks for the reminder!
Done! I cleaned out all the clutter this weekend and got new carr mats too.
This was the easiest one so far 🙂
Done! I had Google Map directions from over a year ago still in there, wow.
