Organizational Car Hacks

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – Have you ever taken a whole day to clean your vehicle, only to see it get just as messy a week later? This frustrating situation is very common and can make cleaning seem like a pointless chore. However, there are tons of DIYs, tips, and various ways to make sure your vehicle remains neat and organized. As a driver, this can help you stay more focused on the road. As a passenger, this can help you easily access everything you need without disturbing the driver. Our list of organizational car hacks, listed below, can help you keep your vehicle in top shape through long road trips, everyday errands, and even drive-thru fast food runs.

1. Keep Cupcake Liners in Your Cup Holders

If you've had a car for a while, you might know that dirt, loose change, crumbs, and other debris slowly collects in your cup holders over time and can be hard to clean out. If you don't usually bring a drink with you while you drive or have an extra cup holder, use paper or silicone cupcake liners to keep your cup holders clean and prevent the nasty dirt buildup. 

2. Organize Toys with a Remote Holder

By using a remote holder, you can keep snacks, toys, and other necessities for your kids within their reach! You'll never have to reach over your seat again and distract yourself from the road with an organizer like this. Not to mention, this method can help your kids keep small items secure so less go missing under the seats.

3. Use A Shower Caddy As a Fast Food Holder

Shower caddies can help you organize your shower, but did you know they can also be repurposed to organize fast food, too? After you get your fast food out of the bag, you can put it in your repurposed shower caddy to keep food secure on bumpy roads and keep crumbs to a minimum. 

4. Turn Kleenex Boxes Into Garbage Bag Storage

Speaking of repurposing, Kleenex boxes can be repurposed to hold garbage bags, grocery bags, and more to help you be prepared and organized! They're compact and can fit many grocery bags so you won't have to restock often. 

5. Make a Coffee Cup a Tissue Holder for Easy Access

You can use the leftover tissues from your Kleenex box project to make an easy-to-access tissue holder out of a coffee cup! Keep one of these creative "tissue cups" in a cup holder during cold and flu season so you can make runny noses easier to deal with in traffic and on the road.

6. Use Shoe Organizers and Boxes to Keep Your Trunk Junk Free

Hate when your groceries go flying around the trunk of your car? Try using foldable or soft canvas boxes to keep bags and other roll-able items in place. Have lots of items you just don't know where to keep? Shoe organizers or over-the-door organizers work great for small-medium sized items and can be attached to your headrests in the back. 

7. Try Clip-On Carabiners for Holding Bags in Place

For an inexpensive way to keep backpacks, purses, and shopping bags organized, use carabiners! You can find them at most convenience and department stores near the keychains. They can be used to prevent bags from falling on the floor, can carry a lot of weight, and can free up legroom for your passengers in the back, too.
