    Mine’s done too. It’s not a very visible tidy job though.

    I like the one’s where people can see the difference the best. Especially my hubby. I feel a bit guilty if I sit down to watch the news and he cooks our dinner but can’t SEE the extra little job I had done that day, almost makes me want to help him cook, ALMOST!

    Would you believe I almost filled a small shopping bag with the garbage from my glove box??!! I’ve had my car for 10 years and I don’t think it’s once donned on me to empty out the glove box. This mission motivated me to vacuum the whole car (even the trunk). She looks new!

    So simple and so important. Did this this past weekend (we clean the car every weekend). Nice to actually be able to fit GLOVES in there.
    Thanks.

    Wow! Who would have thought how rewarding this task would feel! Fabulous! Cleaned the glove box (did not realize how deep and big it is!) And continued with the whole entire car!!!! Going to get it swept out tomorrow! I did this all in my nice clean and organized garage! Oh what a freeing feeling!

    Done easily – I do like my car tidy! And no, I don’t have small children or teenagers anymore so it is possible to keep it that way for a week or more!
