Day 12: Declutter Your Car’s Glove Box
Step 1: Grab a bag and get into your car. Empty your glove box onto the seat beside you.
Step 2: Only return to your glove box items you need and use, for example:
- Car log book
- Pen and notebook
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
- Current street directories
- Relevant maps
- Wet wipes
- First aid items.
Step 3: Toss into the bag:
- Yucky tissues
- Random receipts and post-its
- Ancient maps and street directories
- Food remnants
- Anything you don’t need or use.
Step 4: Throw your bag into the trash.
And you’re done!

I do this regularly but it always needs doing again. Completed again today.
awesome task for the day! i didn’t have a lot of extra junk in there but the stuff that i did have in there was in such disarray. taking it all out to organize and put it back in there nicely did wonders! thanks!
done
Another task done!
done!
done–found the plastic sheet I had kept there in case my water broke when I was pregnant last year!
This was one that really needed doing. Done.
I was seriously just thinking yesterday (as I shoved yet another piece of paper in one of 3 glove boxes in my car), “I wonder if cleaning out the glove box will be tomorrow’s task.” Sure enough. Thanks!
Got all three cleaned out and orderly. Also working on my bedroom closet today on a whim. Have to encourage those when they come along….
No car. No garage. ..but got my bike cleaned.
Van glove box clean up led to an entire van clean out (again long over due!) Perfect timing. the van is totally cleaned, floor mats washed all winter salt and sand vacuumed out!
Done — I didn’t realize how much junk had piled up in there!
I was doing a fast de-clutter of a drawer today and wondered if/when you’d get to the car. 😀

Done.
Done! This one was nice & quick! I still found things in the glove box that didn’t need to be there—and now I can say that’s no longer the case!
Great one! I did this, and even threw out all of the cassette tapes I had in there. Do I really need the Moody Blues and INXS from 198? No!
Great decluttering ideas. Keep ’em coming!
Did this in February, so the 5 minutes was perfect.
Oooo, that was easy! I have a really small glove box so not much room for anything. So I also did the console compartments. Much better!
Done!!! I try to do this at the end and beginning of each sports season. Boy what you can gather while going from game to game.
Done!
I usually try to keep my car clutter free. I’m pretty good at keeping it up, esp with 3 boys!

This wasn’t bad–my husband is a stickler for the car being orderly as he will occasionally volunteer his car to transport coworkers to lunches or meetings. Thanks, though–always good tips to follow!
