How do you keep your car clean?

[xmyboys]

New car which has become a tip. Two young dc and we hand no choice but to have breakfast on the way to school.
The car has just been vacuumed and now I want to keep it sparkling! Help?

How about having a small tub of some sort in the back, between their seats, to use as a waste bin for a start?

I am slovenly in the car too, and have a plastic bag hanging from the gearstick into passenger side where we throw all the sweet wrappers.

And you could stick a pack of those anti-bac wipe things in the car just to give the dash etc a quick wipe maybe when u have 2secs waiting for dc to come out of school. Also handy for any spillages!

I've given up. I just get it cleaned regularly. Between me eating my breakfast on the way to work and DD eating hers on the way to pre-school crumbs are unavoidable no matter how hard I try.

Thanks
I wondered if I was missing some magic formula ! Found a pretty reasonable hand clean station so light treat myself to that every once and awhile!

When I read the title I thought 'don't let DCs eat in it'

Oh god. This thread is for me.

How can one person be so different in two places?! My house - anally cleaned, to the point of OCD. Car, possible infestation on wheels. Well. Maybe not that bad. But nearly .

I give up on the car. It gets valeted once a year. That'll have to do. I mean, I don't know how so much dirt accumulates in the thing :/ I do blame most of it on inconsiderate passengers. Yes DP and DS, I'm looking at you. Glares.

I would get up 15 minutes earlier and make children and self eat breakfast in the kitchen--I hate food crumbs in the car.

Breakfast in the car? I can't see how you have no choice in that... just get up earlier.

Yeah I could do that. But seeing as I've been operating on about 2 hours sleep a night since being pregnant and those hours tend to be between 5.30 and 7.30, getting up earlier would mean even less sleep.

Dh laughs at me because I have one of these www.lakeland.co.uk/21566/The-Collapsible-Car-Bin?src=gpsol&gclid=CNCGvuO3vqwCFUtC4Qod5zOgpg and a bigger version in the boot for de-icer etc.
It velcros on near the between the back footwells and works really well when DH remembers to use it
