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 opened my glove box and there was nothing in it! So, I added some essentials (couple pens, pad of paper, bandaids). I also got a small photo album to put my registration and insurance papers in so I can find them quickly.

    Whew! That took me longer than 5 minutes but it was time well spent! Let’s see if my husband can function without the chaos…

  3. Desiree says:

    Ours is broken, so very easy! Did pick up a clear storage box tho’, so there’s a safe place for reg., and insurance info. But it’s not in the car anymore!! Will have to track down the husband or boy who absconded with it! lol

    DONE!
    Easiest one for me so far! 😀
    I’m making a note for kids to clean out the rest of the car & vacuum it tomorrow. 🙂

    I actually did this tuesday , after i took my granddaughter shopping for birthday. We tacked the truck when we got home . I pulled the garage can next to the truck and we tossed what wasnt needed. Today i an going to wipe down all the surfaces.

    Read this before I left for work. Got there early so I worked on it for a couple minutes and then finished after I got home. 🙂 (from fb post… just noticed those comments don’t count.. :(… )

  7. Tiffany says:

    I missed this one, apparently, but it is now done. The glovebox was easy, it was the rest of the car I needed help with. The kids had fun organizing their items while I did the rest. Sooooo nice to see it clean!

  8. Laura B says:

    I am so happy this one is EASY for me. I am lucky enough to have gotten a 2009 Avalon just 2 month ago when my van almost died. I have been keeping it neat and clean each Friday.
