Back to Dirty Little Secrets Index Dirty Little Secret Here’s what I do to keep my car clean, inside and out by Maria Gracia Join our newsletter to be notified when the newest Dirty Little Secret is available. Every other Sunday, we take the car to the car wash. (If the weather is bad, of course, we wait until the following week.) In doing so, most of the time, the car is nice and clean on the outside. We try not to eat in the car, unless we absolutely have to. Keeping a few food trays in the car helps catch crumbs and such. Water is usually the drink of choice in the car. Occasionally, we’ll have a coffee in the vehicle, but only when it is secured with a strong cover. We also keep a box of trash bags in the car. We use one for any garbage. We then empty that trash bag out when we get fuel and reuse the bag. If the bag is no longer usable, we throw it out and another replacement is immediately available.
