What's there in the car centre console?

The mess after a car road trip

When you travel with kids, your car is gonna be messed up. There's no way out. I got into the car yesterday and these were the things that had slowly accumulated in the centre console between the two front seats. There's an empty sprite can (my bad!), a cup with half eaten mandarins, a stone from the beach, a lollipop wrapper, some beads, a few coins, some meds for travel sickness for my daughter and beach sand. I hopefully will be able to clean this and the rest of the mess in the car this weekend!

I was like "what is a stone doing in there" but then I read you got kids. I'd get rid of food immediately because it spoils and that's a huge fear of mine. Everything else can wait.

Difficult on long road trips to keep the food away. So I give in

It is hard to maintain the car when you have kids. I had my share of challenges and had multiple times go to car wash to just have the interiors cleared and cleaned. Well, one thing that has worked for me is I let kids have food only if they have napkin and never allow them to have chocolates in car. I also do not let them have anything half eaten as well. Thishelps a lot during the weekend cleaning of the car. I do not think you are car is a mess. I have seen worst with hand and finger prints around with food particles within the car. I wondered how those can be cleaned and efforts for the same. Well, enjoy the day!
