Spring & Spring Cleaning....

It is offically Spring! No more snow days, no more salt and chemcial residue to coat the outside of the car. It is time to enjoy the outdoors once again! Cabin fever is a think of the past!

This is also the time of year folks get their house in order, clean up the yard, and maybe even clean out the car. I know I am looking into doing just that, well at least the car part.

There are so many things in my car that just did not make it into my home or the recycleing bin, or the trash can. Lets start with those things that do not make it into the house, items like shoes, notes, books, dvds, cd, toys, coats, etc. Then there are those things that just need to be recycled items like empty water bottles, paper, more empty beverage containers. Finally items that just need to be tossed out, old receipts, gum wrappers, coffee cups etc. What is the most unusual item you need to remove from your car? What is the most unusal item you keep in your car. Me, I keep a bocci ball set and a fire place poker. Ask at the next Auto Care Saturday.

I heard the best way to keep your car from getting old car smell is to clean out the numerous cup holders, whip down the interior, and vacuum out the floor and seats. Apparently most of our car smells come from dried food or sugary beverages spilled in our cars. Keep these areas clean, you have a better chance of of keeping your smelling wonderful.

Then there are somethings you need to make sure are in your car. Items like: Emergency contact numbers - the first name and phone numbers just in case your cell phone stops working, a waterproof flash light with extra batteries, jumper cables, multipurpose tool, a blanket, flares or reflective triangles, and a first aid kit.

If you have questions concerning our list, or have other suggestions, please e-mail us, we love getting feed back or just comment.
