How dirty is the inside of your car?

[helenelisabeth]

I am ashamed of my car, it is fecking atrocious inside, banana skins, apple cores, bits of Greggs sausage roll , the list goes on...

Just wanted to know, do you fall into the above category or do you have your car valeted weekly?

[helenelisabeth]

After starting this thread I am going to be responsible and start clearing my car out as the mums at school (who sit there in their fecking spotless Range Rovers) are starting to keep their distance. At least my daughter can then arrive at school without a panty liner (mine, not used) hanging off the back of her coat.

I got a full black bag of rubbish out of my very small car the other day

[LardyMardyDaisyBoo]

mine is shamefully messy and dirty too.

so much so that I'd left the rear door wide open all day last summer by accident. My neighbour came over to tell me and she was horrified that it looked as though it had been ransacked. I was so as I stood there with her not actually able to tell whether anything was missing, and embarrased to admit that it is always like that

It hasn't been hoovered for over a year and a half, and there is always crumbs and sweet wrappers (mine, not the DC's ) and empty diet coke bottles, bits of power rangers and lego, and now baby hats and gloves, as well as the usual 20 CDs in broken cases and 20lbs of dirt, pebbles, sand, shells etc.

I am so glad I'm not the only one!
Mine is horrible. Food packaging and debris everywhere. Plus toy cars and lots of socks (ds1's comforters!).
Need to get a thorough steam clean done

[CatIsSleepy]

oh it's a horrible horrible mess
very rarely gets cleaned inside (or outside for that matter)

[titchy]

Mine's mingin - but no Gregg's leftover or Fruitshoots so it's OK (smug)

My car is a family legend. I bought my car brand new in 2001 for cash (those were the days...). I said I would change my car every three years, I said I would get it valeted every month and serviced every six.
None of the above.
My car stinks variously of wet dog, spilled juice or melted sweets. It is blessed by the 'kiss of Tesco's' (large yellow dent in the side caused by a pillar in their car park), you can't see the hubcaps for the mud, it's full of kids books all ripped and stomped on, 17 Bags for Life are slowly dying in there.
However, you can always find a wooly hat, an old scarf, a pound coin or a high-absorbency tampon when you're short.

Car is pretty good, actually. I hate mingin' cars, vacuumed every 10 journeys or so.
My house on the other hand...

[juliax3]

i don't have a car but my oldest friend has always had a filthy car, and her mother before her. she is convinced nobody has ever tried to steal it because of the scary inside.

[Maidamess]

My car is like a biscuit tin on wheels. Appalling.

[2littlemonkeys]

mine is disgusting, i promised my dh if i got a better car i would look after it lol, there is no room for your feet in the passenger side, and the seats need a really good scrub, i blame it on the council if they empted r bins more my wheely bin wouldnt be full all the time thus i could clean my car lol xx

[Flum]

Minging my friend ( of Chelsea tractor, leather seats etc genre ) calls it a 'Wheelie bin'.

Her very precious and precocious DCs always make rude comments when they are in it.... which I object to but it always shames me into a trip to the Oracle where they do a mini valet for £15 it rocks.

[WendyWeber]

I washed mine today

(Only the outside though )

[Starbear]

There is a half eaten Chocolate Orange in the glove box. It was on the floor and I was eating bits of it but I have stopped now because I'm an adult. Lots of mud on the back seat as Ds climbs in . Raisins all over the place plus lots of wood mainly bark and branches. Various bits of clothing' DH sweet wrappers that Ds knows nothing about. Smelly sport kit and fudge from Devon 2006

[sydlexic]

My car is spotless, DS has some strange car cleaning fetish, he is never that keen on cleaning the house.

ZOMBIE THREAD
I'm back up there in another name change.
Is KatonG trying to sell something?

[DystopianReality]

I'd love a beautiful car, is it really only £45 to get it IMMACULATE? My house is OK but my car is disgusting; having said that, I have a rather inverted snobbery about people that have really clean cars ALL THE TIME!

[DystopianReality]

Oh .. and the other thing... I really quite like people with dirty cars, much more than people with clean cars....

[birdofthenorth]

I'd give my house a 3 out of 10 for cleanliness and my car no more than a 1/10! I do aspire to do better... but kids, dogs, reality, missing cleanliness chip...

[fussychica]

Very. Always has been even when DS was little. A bit dusty sometimes, a few sweet wrappers and a bit of gravel on the mats but never worse than that.

I used to travel to work with someone who had a car so dirty I used to have to check the seat before I sat in incase I sat on something that might ruin my suit but I was so grateful for the lift I never batted an eyelid.

[drmummmsy]

omg it's disgusting and has an awful odour

[drmummmsy]

oh ffs this is ancient!

[DrGoogleWillSeeYouNow]

Mine is immaculate.

DH has a valeter come into his work every Thursday to do his and his sales guys cars, so I call in and get mine done too... The perks of banging the boss
