Anyone who has kids knows that keeping a vehicle clean is a much trickier task than it once was. It doesn’t have to be hard though. By using a few tricks, you can keep your Highlander clean and tidy – even with kids.
Throw Away Trash
A simple way to keep your SUV clean is to keep a trash can handy and throw wrappers away immediately. Put a grocery bag in an empty, clean cereal box, and you instantly have a trash can that’s both slim and convenient. Store your grocery bags in an old paper towel tube for easy refilling.
Use Space Wisely
When you drive kids around, toys, books, and electronic devices tend to accumulate in your SUV. Keep things tidy by hanging an organizer over the seat and placing your kids’ belongings in the pockets. This will make it easily accessible to them and prevent the interior from looking like a tornado passed through.
Always Carry Baby Wipes
Any parent knows that baby wipes can be used for far more things than changing diapers. Keep a box of wipes in your car at all times for quick cleanup of dirt, spilled drinks, and fingerprints. A quick swipe and your Highlander is clean again.
Put the Kids in Charge
By creating a game out of cleaning, you’ll get the kids excited and have a nice vehicle. Make them part of a crew and put them in charge of cleaning their own station. Have a competition for cleanest area and most clever organizing.
Incorporate these tricks into your daily routine, and you’ll find that keeping your Highlander SUV clean with kids isn’t so daunting after all.
