As children grow older, so do their needs. Whether it comes in the form of carpooling to sports practices, transporting glittering science projects, or just general use, your vehicle will get dirty!

If your car sometimes feels like a house on wheels, follow these quick tips to protect your vehicle’s interior!

Seat Covers

It seems like a no-brainer, but seat covers are the best way to protect your vehicle’s interior.

Seat covers protect the vehicle’s upholstery from excessive use, spills, dirt and much more. There are plenty of after-market seat covers on the Internet, including ones that can help with keeping Army Men toys and pretzels out of the cracks of the seats.

Floor Mats

Like seat covers, floor mats also protect your vehicle from the outside elements.

Floor mats can also help prevent your vehicle’s carpet from fraying, staining, or coming apart.

After-market floor mats also come in a variety of different choices, from fashionable to extreme protection. There are even mats for the cargo areas and trunks for extended protection.

Say No to Messy Foods

While ice cream is delicious and chocolate milk is your kid’s favorite–it’s best to steer clear of messy foods. That also goes for foods and drinks that will smell if spilled.

If snacks are a must, choose easy to clean options that won’t give you a headache if spilled.

Keep Cleaning Supplies Around

For all the small messes in between, it’s best to stay prepared. Keep some interior cleaning wet wipes close by for a quick cleaning job.

Recycle your plastic bags by keeping them in your vehicle. This can ensure you always have a place to store trash, a wet umbrella, or even muddy shoes.

Vacuum and care for the interior of your vehicle frequently. Preventative care is the best thing to ensure a long life of any vehicle’s interior.
