Hitting the road for an adventure? Whether you’re cruising down the coast or making a cross-country trek, one challenge always seems to tag along: keeping your car clean. Add a couple of snack-loving kids or a drooling dog into the mix, and things can go from road trip fun to a dumpster on wheels in no time. For professional detailing in Seattle this spring, visit Kenny’s Auto Detail. 

Pack Smart for Cleanliness

Start with the basics; bring trash bags, wet wipes, paper towels, and a stash of old towels or blankets. Designate a small trash bag for each row of seats so wrappers, napkins, and juice boxes don’t get wedged between cushions. Keep extra plastic bags on hand for muddy shoes or pet accidents.

Keep Snacks Contained

Choose travel-friendly snacks that are less likely to crumble or spill. Food like string cheese, granola bars, or squeeze applesauce. Skip sticky candies and crumbly chips if you want your upholstery to make it through the drive unscathed. Use snack containers with lids or lap trays to keep things organized.

Create Zones for Kids and Pets

Set boundaries inside the car; give kids activity bins and books to keep them busy and less likely to spread toys across every square inch. Use a seat cover or hammock-style protector for pets in the backseat to shield your seats from fur and paw prints. A portable vacuum isn’t a bad idea for longer trips.

Make Professional Detailing Your Final Destination

No matter how organized and prepared you are, road trips leave their mark with sticky door handles, smudged windows, and pet hair in every crevice. Once you're back home, schedule a professional detailing. At Kenny’s Auto Detail, we’ll deep-clean carpets, shampoo seats, and make your car smell fresh again; something no air freshener can compete with.
