This Mother's Day, keep mom
happy by doing the little things
(NC)—With the title of "mom" often comes the respon-
sibility of being "the provider of all things" for your
family. From cooking to making sure the kids make it to
all of their appointments, motherhood can be a 24/7
job. For these on -the -go moms, keeping their house
clean often tops their list of priorities. But what about
the family car?
According to a survey conducted by urbanmoms.ca,
89 percent of respondents said they feel embarrassed

when their car is messy and cluttered and others see it
that way. Unfortunately, while most moms don't like
how the inside of their cars look, they don't have the
time to clean it.
If you're not sure where to start, here are some quick
car cleaning tips:
• Before any cleaning can begin, you first need to
declutter the car. Take everything out and decide what
needs to stay and what needs to go. Use a Blink Tidy
Totes expandable, reusable mesh bag to organize kids'
toys, diapers, and sports gear. Also, keep in mind this is
mom's car: Make sure you get her permission before
throwing ANYTHING in the garbage.
• Now that the car is clutter free, vacuum the floor
mats and interior carpet. Be on the lookout for hidden
debris.
• Next you need to clean any interior spots.
• Don't forget to wipe down the dashboard and cup
holders. Use a clean micro fiber cloth to wipe down the
dash board and use a cotton swab to clean hard to
reach areas.
• Now that the car is clean, help mom keep it that
way by getting rid of garbage every time the car is
used. Use a litter bag designed for the car. They conve-
niently clip to seatback pockets and help contain litter
like apple cores, wrappers, tissues and drink cups.
