Lifehacker has collected tips that will make life easier for every car enthusiast.

1. Use a container from the bathroom as a food stand

Organize the place for a mobile snack correctly, and you can forget about the inconvenience, spilled drinks and crumbs.

2. Place all baby supplies in the organizer

If you have a child, your car is more like a nursery. But there is a way out: use the organizer for a compact arrangement of books, items for creativity and hygiene, toys. This will not only keep the car clean, but also teach your child to be tidy.

3. Place the cupcake tins in the cup holders

Firstly, it will keep the bottom of the cup holders clean, and secondly, you will be able to more conveniently reach their contents by pulling out the insert. Both plastic and paper molds will work.

4. Remove animal hair with a rubber brush and water

Animal lovers know that a vacuum cleaner is a poor helper in the fight against fur on car seats. To quickly and efficiently clean it, spray the seat with water and roll the wool with a rubber-tipped brush.

5. Sprinkle baking soda on the seats before vacuuming

If you smell an unpleasant old smell from the upholstery, this life hack is especially for you: baking soda perfectly absorbs odors.

6. Use your old CD case to close the radio

This advice is good for pedants or those who are worried about the safety of the radio and windows. Aesthetics and safety in one bottle!

7. Place a small trash can in the cabin

Why can't house rules be applied in the car? A formed habit of throwing trash in a bucket will free up door pockets and other places from forgotten trash. The main thing is to empty the bin on time.

8. Attach the trash bag

If the bucket gets in the way of the passenger, you can attach the trash bag to the panel with a self-adhesive hook. Choose hooks that peel away from the surface with downward pressure and leave no residue to avoid damaging the car dashboard.

9. If you want to give the headlights shine - wipe them with toothpaste

Apply a drop of toothpaste to a rag and scrub the entire surface of the headlight. The soft abrasive structure of the paste will remove dirt well and polish the headlight.

10. Remove dirt with a toothbrush

The brush will help to deal with difficult dirt on the panel and seats, where a rag does not help. Use baking soda or special cleaners.

In addition, the brush is ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach areas on upholstered seats.

11. Remove dust between the deflector grilles with a brush

Many do not pay due attention to cleaning the deflectors, and it is completely in vain. This is important not only for aesthetics, but also for air purity.

12. Wash your car with hair conditioner

This life hack may seem strange, but don't be in a hurry to laugh. Most hair conditioners contain lanolin and wax, which will give your car a shine.

13. Deal with bird surprises with the WD-40

We have already written about the versatility of this miracle spray, and this is another of its uses. Spray WD-40 on the roof and around the car - birds will not fly close to it. The liquid also helps against gnats sticking to the bumper and hood.

14. Wipe the wipers with rubbing alcohol to avoid streaks

15. Create your own fragrance with a clothespin

Place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on a wooden clothespin and attach it to the deflector. The flavor is ready!

16. Refresh the interior with pineapple peel

Fold the pineapple peel into a bag, leave a small hole and enjoy the fresh tropical scent in the cabin.

17. Use a glass, old sock, and glass cleaner to clean the cup holders

Place a sock over a glass and apply a mirror and glass cleaner to it.

Slide the toe glass into the car cup holder and twist. All dirt will remain on the toe.

18. Place things in the trunk conveniently with the help of a shelf

Such a shelf will delimit the space, which will allow you to more compactly place purchases or sports equipment, even if it seems impossible.

19. Remove any dirt from the slots with a flat screwdriver and a cloth

Take a flat screwdriver, wrap a soft cloth around its tip and clean the small cracks in the car from dirt.

20. Do not forget to wipe the top of the glass

Don't neglect the feelings of your inner perfectionist, and at the end, don't forget to wipe the top of the glass with a rag and a glass cleaner. This will help avoid smudges.
