We’ve all had a dirty messy car at one time or another. Use todays video to clean out and organize your car. Love y’all!!❤️❤️❤️

Three thoughts - 1. Samson is the best! 2. Props on how clean your living room was when you brought the bags in from the car. 3. Gotta love a big blue Ikea bag!

I love the part where Samson thinks you’re talking to him. He’s such a dedicated listener.

You did great. My car was like yours too. When you’re in the car a lot - you’re tired when you get home. I worked to change habits. Setting a few rules for myself. It worked. My car stays tidy now. I did a similar routine with my purse. Now, it stays clean and tidy too. 🔲My Tips: ✔Always remove items from your car when departing. I often grab trash and put it in the trash can outside the shops I patronize. I don't keep a trash container or bag in the car. ✔Never leave items in plain view in your unattended car. All my purchases go straight to my trunk. In fact the only thing visible in my car would be a water bottle. ✔Friday is my car day. I shake out the floor mats, dust surfaces. I keep a small car duster in my car (center console) and give it a quick dusting when I see dust. I usually add fuel at the end of my errand run on Thursday. ✔Limit the amount of stuff you keep in your car. In my car - items have designated spaces: - garage opener attached with Velcro inside the sunglasses holder in the roof - along with a pair of clip-on sunglasses. - umbrellas and flashlight within reach in the door pocket. - music CDs in CD wallets in my glove box - tissue, reusable shopping bag, car duster, mints - in the center console compartment. ✔In my car's trunk is a first aid kit and a emergency kit (jumper cables, reflective triangle, etc) -both attached to side walls with Velcro. ✔I also keep 2 pairs of sunglasses in my car for each of my parents. (Age 95.) One pair in center console compartment and the other pair in a compartment in the dash. ✔️I keep a tool in the glove box. It serves as an extra handle assist for my parents and it can also be used to smash a window, cut a seatbelt and has a built in flash light. ✔️I keep a road map in the glove box - in case i travel into areas without cell coverage. ✔We keep a sticker on the upper left corner of the windshield with the date of the last oil change - and the mileage for the next oil change. When my odometer reading indicates I'm close - I plan an oil change. ✔I keep a note in my financial tracker to remind me when my car's inspection/registration is due. (VIN and plate numbers recorded there also.)

I think I'm decluttering all wrong.. I'm not finding money 😂 You did a great job! And I love your outfit!

Samson is such a cutie! He looks so happy to be in your car

Carla, you need a small hand held vacuum cleaner or a stick vacuum cleaner. You could definitely use that in the house for a quick cleanups but it would also work for vacuuming the car carpet and seats. I noticed there was still a little spot here and there of things that needed to be vacuumed up like in the trunk or backseat area. I often have leaves and small pebbles that get on my shoes, let’s say in the fall, that end up on my car floor in the front which I do not diligently clean up myself. Shame on me. I think your organization of things that you need and want while driving is great. That really makes for fun spontaneous adventures at the beach etc. Having those things is a great idea.

Awwww, Samson is so adorable

Like how he winked when you finished the back seat. It was like watch people I am staying up front.😂

Hi my name is Jen, and I have messy car syndrome ✋. Your videos are like a support group for my soul. 💛

Carla, my car is worst. This is an old video but I ran across it and it resonated with me. My car is a hot mess!! Cups, straw paper, coins, dirt and all kinds of junk. This video has inspired me to do better. Thank you ❤😀

Love this video! No one ever posts organizing the car and it’s my worst place FOR SURE. One thing that has helped me a bit is actually having a little trash bag hanging off the back of the passenger head rest because I always have trash I need to get rid of. And from personal experience… always good to have a small first aid kit in the console and a roadside emergency supply kit in the trunk! Love your channel! Samson is the sweetest

I love Sir Samson. Boy he went down those stairs fast. 😄 I could watch that bit a million times. You did great with the declutter. I like the systems you put in place. It gave me some ideas for my own car. Thank you for sharing.

I think someone wants to go for a ride with his mum! Good boy Samson

Sampson gets scared at the dog park? Awwwwww 😍

Dear Carla, Love your romper suit. Very cool looking. One habit that I have found that solves clutter in my experience.. simply this; make a habit out of taking everything out of the car when you exit the car. It is amazing how clean one’s car stays.

Love your hair. I have an organizer in my backseat for reusable grocery bags and a plastic bag for trash. Keep a quarter in cup holder for Aldi.

Samsons just huffy he never gets to drive!

I love the feeling of a freshly cleaned car inside and out! ✨ Definitely one of my spring/summer habits to officially kick off the end of winter and wash all the salt + dirt away 🙌🏼 Loving how you utilized each space and the organizers you added.

So touching that the first things in your organiser were for Samson and he did such a good job driving through the car wash while you were filming 🐾

I have to clean out my glove box and the center console. And my car NEEDS a good vacuum and a wash! I'm so happy to see you store your re-useable grocery bags in your trunk. To me it's a no-brainer'! The bags don't take up valuable real estate in my house and I never forget them when I go to the store!

Once you make a point of taking stuff out as you leave your car it will get easy to do...just natural❤

It’s the car, I am telling you. I had 2016 Honda Civic and it always looked crazy (lived in the NYC metro area)! Now that I am mom, I have a CRV and it’s pretty much clean. The Civic possesses people!…lol

Good rule of thumb, that I’ve stuck by, is just remembering to grab everything out of your car each time you get out of your car to go into your home. I’ve never had to clean my car besides the occasional vacuum. It’s a little habit that will save a ton of time in the long run.

Omgosh! his bark startled me. Your Samson is so cute.

I have the same condition!! 😂 the timing of this video is priceless since I planned to declutter my car today

That jumper u are wearing is just too cute!! ❤😂and Samson is a great house 🏠 manager 😅🎉❤

Car looks great. Samson is so cute in the front seat. And the curls and hat are so pretty on you. You go girl!

Thank you . I have been trying to declutter my car for the last two to three weeks , so I hope this video will help me get it done once and for all. I have in the same position as you when it comes to my car and I want to change my ways .

Hi Carla, I love how you are assigning homes/ systems to your belongings. I found that this method helped me not only keep my stuff organized for good, but also allowed me to see what I have or need in a glance. As always, thank you so much for another awesome and motivating video and being real. Sending you and Samson hugs.

This makes me feel so not alone

Pro organizer here. I recommend getting a small car trash bag to hang off the glove box or one that sits by the console and passenger seat. And every time you fill up your car empty out the trash and do a quick organize while you are pumping gas.

I’m motivated 👏. I don’t think I spend as much time in my car as In the past. My husband asked if I have any clothes in my closet lol TFS

Have those cute net-like tote bags. Good for you for organizing your car.

Everything is in order 👍🏻Well done!

Samson such a handsome boy. Car looks great

Samson is SOOOOO cute!!! Such a good helper xx

Yes on organizers they work wonders to be honest. We have a trash can the foldable ones , a medium size organizer and will have two bags in the back seat with waters and clothes . The one in the trunk has an emergency triangle that reflects when your car is down, water bottles, blanket, reflective vest, some rope, emergency kit with bandages etc , some stuff for our furbabies and cleaning wipes. The middle console is his glucose machine, gum/mint . And in the glove compartment it has the registration and other documents. Extra flashlight. And we want to keep this one cleaner . I say invest in some floor mats, dog hammock and vacuum so you don’t have to worry about the shedding and also when you spill stuff . Loved the video

Such a great, interesting insight on comparing spaces in your car to rooms in your home to guide your organization!!

I work out of my truck. One thing I have started is putting small trash in the door pocket, and every time I go to get gas, I remove all trash. I open up every door to look for trash and straighten up a little while waiting in gas to pump. It helps a lot. Freshly cleaned car is always the best! Looks great

I love Samson so much! Also I suffer from the same symptoms 😂. I just started to leave plastic bags to leave in my car and to some tidying up everyday when I leave my car. It’s been working so far

I did the same thing to my car last summer. Took me hours! I vacuumed, cleaned stains and wiped down everything. It was like a new car. I’ve done pretty good maintaining. I’m on the east coast so it’s still winter. Once it starts getting warm I will do it again.

Have a great weekend! I always look forward to our videos.

Great job. Samson was such a good helper.

Looks good and we've all had that in our car to some degree. It's best to not leave anything visible in the car, smash and grabs , they think it might be worth something. Suggestion; when I downsized my purse, I put items in a pouch, it's in the center console. A coupe of safety pins, bandaids, wet wipes, just stuff you may need but don't need to carry daily in a purse. I have some backup cash in there just in case. Glad you don't keep your proof of insurance and registration in your vehicle, if car is ever stolen they at least won't have your personal information, address, etc. Like the trunk organizer. Nicely done!

An opportunist thief would have fun going through your car in the before photos! A good idea to put in your car is a small bag with bandaids, mask, sanitizing wipes, tissues.

I love watching your videos so much. Seeing you get everything organized is so satisfying. I have to admit I also watch to remind myself I will see summer again while I await another huge snowstorm heading our way here in northern Ontario. Love seeing the sunshine ☀️

awwe Samson is soo adorable

Thank you for trusting on those who really are interested in decluttering vids 💕⭐ very satisfying to watch

Samson is proly my fav part of every video lol he cracks me up

Sampson is one handsome guy! Great car organizers! Does Sampson need a bottle of water and a portable bowl? Great video Carla!

I also own several jumpers which are so comfy.

I carry bags back packs baskets whatever it takes to haul it back to the house

It’s going to be 68° here in Chicago today - for one day only, then back down into the 30s! Time for me to clean out my car! Thanks, Carla. 🌷

Decision fatigue hits me hard, if I'm tired physically or mentally I'll just dump stuff wherever. Right now I'm purging and de cluttering so that what I do have, has it's own home and I know where that's at. Otherwise girl it's chaos, chaos all around me and in my mind. Give yourself credit you're doing the hard work and it'll pay off. In case no one has told you - great job!

The car looks great! Thanks for the motivation, I want to clean my car now!

Looks like a new car. I luv Samson’s reaction when you get in the car😂

I'm another Samson fan - I like the way he keeps you in line, LOL! Seriously, don't worry about the people who judge. We've all been there. I've had jobs involving a long commute by car, and when you spend hours in your car travelling around, it does become another room. But now you've put all that work into clearing out the car, getting it cleaned and then putting organisers in it, it will almost certainly never get that way again. You'll probably find 15 minutes once a month will be all you'll ever need to spend keeping it that way, maybe even less. What I see in this video is not just motivating to me, it's inspiring - a classy woman taking responsibility for sorting her life out so that she can make great things happen. I'm right behind you, Carla, and I'm doing what I can to get there myself. So thanks, it's nice to take a little look into your world and see how organised it's become over the last few weeks and months. It encourages me. I'm glad I subscribed to this channel. You,take care of yourself.

Finally someone has posted a video on car decluttering! Thank you for posting this! We've all been there with the car clutter. Now I need the weather to warm up so I can go declutter mine. And how cute is Samson?

Car declutter videos are my FAVORITE

I love the doggo. He's so freggin cute! Incredible job on the car organizing. I suffer from trunk junk syndrome so it's great to see the systems you put in place. Love love love this ❤️

0h my goodness! I thought my car and truck were bad, but you have me beat. Just a few things to relocate and both car and truck need swashing, vacuu0 and cleaning. Lots of dog hair to vacuum out. I need to take care of it before it gets hot.

Love my IKEA bags !

Your dog is so sweet!

You are sooo lucky it hasn't been broken into..over here in England loads of cars are broken into with leaving just your glasses on view... I also have a Honda civic, different style to yours

Girl! Loving the hair! And thank you for the video :)

You are so smart for remembering to put a to go coffee in the car just in case! I need to do that.

Love him bless he thought he was doing something fun 😊

I think Samson kept hoping you were going to the beach. Loqi reusable bags are great - they’re huge but fold down small, can be machine washed and carry a lot of weight without ripping. Also you can get them in cute patterns, so they’re small enough to put in your pocket or purse and won’t ruin your lewk.

Yay for more Samson

Once again - inspired to clean - thank you. PS - love Samson's wink @ 10:51 teehee 😉

Thanks Carla for your videos. They're just chilled and I enjoy seeing you organise and tidy everything but keep it real. I love your bedroom with the windows letting in light and seeing trees. I can see why you like that room the most. Thanks for making these always nice to watch.

Frist thing to admit when something is wrong it is a problem. No one is perfect but long as a person try to fix bad habits that is what matters.

Car looks brand new. Congrats on your decluttered vehicle!

Nice job! What a difference! 👍😎

Love it Carla! there is nothing wrong with keeping a home-car, just maintain the organization with the help of purses and container baskets... take care!

You could have a tin that fits in the pocket on your door to keep money in you leave in the car for when you have poorer days or want a shopping day.

I share my car with my teenager and she treats the car like another locker. We have had to train her to take all her stuff out every night since Cars in our area get broken into frequently so leaving things like backpacks with laptops is not a good idea. We have made a drop off zone for her in the garage so she can easily store/grab her backpack, shoes, sports equipment, etc. Car looks great!

I have the same model car. I use mine for my business and have my equipment/tools stored in there too.

Carla, you probably won't see this😢 but you can definitely use castor oil, a couple drops in each eye at night, for Samsons allergies and a few drops on his skin.

Thank you for sharing… I have the exact same problem and I appreciate your vulnerability. No judgment. Nothing but appreciation for you!

Yay, I get to watch a video of yours. I made a deal with myself, that I can only watch them/have them on, if I am tidying/cleaning/decluttering, and I have been really cross with myself for that. 🤣 But I am folding laundry now, so I get to have your video on. It is funny how it works well to trick yourself like that.

You need a first aid kit, a real trash bag. We use those bags you said you'd use for trash, we just take off the head rest and hook it to the back of the seat. You also should get jumper cables!

Always love you cleaning vlogs. Your helper is adorable.

Timing! I was just thinking last night I need a new Carla video, and my car (according to a friend) looks like it belongs to a very messy frat boy. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I think I am inspired. BTW, I love that romper you are wearing. 😁

Honda civic life!!! I have a honda civic too :D A honda civic I should also remove the 7 jackets in my backseat + piles of library books

Great job!! Love the car organizers!! Thanks for sharing!!❤❤❤

I love your videos Dear Carla, I find them very relaxing and they give me motivation although my car is very organized since I use it mostly for work or studies. I don’t like to keep things in my car except things related to it.

Little Secret at night if your not done throw behind the Sofa and continue tomorrow

Love you both

That looks like my car LOL. I also have a dog that SHEDS, big factor. 🐕

My last car was 100% the worst. i had EVERYTHING in there inclding a crock pot riding around fare free in my truck for YEARS. lol.

You did an AMAZING job Sis. I enjoy your channel. 👋🏾👍🏾 Wishing you a peaceful & pleasant day!

He is just so cute! 🤣🥰♥️ ok now I have the motivation to clean my dirty ass car! ♥️ thank you!

Hey Carla, your car looks fantastic now! I love the organisers 👍 Samson is such a good helper/supervisor too 🐶😎

Great video. Watched it on my tv.. ps where is your lipstick from.?? Love it

Thank you I appreciate your courage Love it! I have the cool clear IKEA bag and notice it as you were decluttering

Glad you are getting it done! I don't have an issue in my car but when I come in the door everything in my hands gets piled on the table. If I can keep up with the table a few times a week then it's a good week! lol

LOL my car is literally the worst… you can plant potatoes in it 😖 you inspire me to deep clean it ❤️

I'm gonna get me one of those car organizers 😊
