Tidy Up With Nissan! Organize Your Car for Clutter-Free Driving

February 18, 2021

Driving with a clear mind is crucial, whether you're headed 5 miles down the road to the grocery store or 500 miles across the country. A jumbled car interior can rapidly interrupt your driving zen if documents and receipts are haphazardly lying around, or your toddler is constantly leaving food crumbs behind!

If you're looking for ways to help keep your Nissan clean and organized, check out these car organization hacks to optimize your vehicles space for the ultimate clutter-free drive.

1. Create a cleaning schedule.

Just like you might set a schedule to tidy up the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom, setting a schedule for cleaning your car is a great first step in ensuring the inside of your automobile stays pristine. To make it more manageable, focus on tidying one area each weekend. For instance, you might clean the center console, cup holders, and dashboard on the first Saturday of the month, vacuum the seats the next, wash the exterior the third, etc.

2. Keep your glove compartment tidy.

The glove box can be a particularly difficult area to keep organized, but keeping it clean is vital because it typically contains essential car and insurance documents. Luckily, there are auto document organizers that can help you avoid the mess by organizing key pieces of documentation, such as proof of insurance, medical information, car manuals, and emergency contact information.

3. Set a "no food" policy.

One of the simplest ways to ensure your seats remain stain-free and your kids car seat isn't harboring enough crumbs to feed a flight of pigeons is to adopt a strict no-food policy. However, if you find it impossible to avoid food in the car completely, consider keeping a stash of semi-healthy snacks stored away out of sight in the trunk using a pop-up trunk organizer, cargo bin, or even a simple laundry basket.

Granola bars and trail mix are excellent ‐ minimally messy ‐ non-perishable items, while bananas, apples, and clementines are easy, on-the-go healthy options for you and your little ones.

4. Organize your trunk.

The trunk is often your cars version of a kitchen junk drawer, filled with plastic bags, jumper cables, an emergency kit, the odd sporting equipment, and just about anything else you can imagine. Knowing how to organize your car trunk is a great start to a tidier Nissan!

Keep all those items organized with a hideaway trunk net to help free up space. To help prevent your food shopping from sliding around, use grocery bag hooks specifically designed to help ensure your eggs and bread are secure on the way home from the supermarket.

If you always seem to find yourself short on trunk space, there are cargo and sub-floor organizers with sub-divided compartments that make it easier to organize your things while adding additional storage space under the bed of your car trunk.
