I feel like I live in my car. Going to and from two different schools, play dates, and other activities means that I spend a lot of time in it, and so do my kids. So how often do I clean out the interior? Um. (Shrinks away embarrassed.)
I probably clean the outside of my car every few months. I occasionally get out the Windex and wipe down the fingerprints off the windows or grab a dust broom to get wipe down the dashboard. But really clean it? I honestly can’t even tell you. Maybe never. (I feel like I need a shower.)
Then I got an email from the #RefreshYourCar campaign folks asking if I wanted to check out their new line of antibacterial products for automobiles. And I thought about my car. I thought about all the goldfish and raisins that were stuck to the leather and the spilled juice and dirty hands, and old tissues and literally said out loud “SO GROSS!” and then I emailed back and said yes to the campaign. Talk about a breeding ground.
I just got a new car a few weeks ago and I am determined to keep this one in better shape than my old one. I already set up a crate in the trunk area full of my cleaning supplies, a roll of paper towels, baby wipes and more. So no matter the mess, I’ll always be prepared. (PS. I recommend keeping several plastic grocery bags in your glove compartment in came of car sickness. I’m just saying.)
Refresh Your Car offers four different sanitizing antibacterial wipes in three different scents. They are the only EPA approved automotive products that clean, condition, sanitize and protect interior automotive surfaces. *Kills Staphylococcus Aureus (Staph) and Enterobacter Aerogenes.

I dislike the constant hand prints on the back door panels. Who knows what they are made of!!

I’m sure there is a partially eaten snack or half empty sippy cup in the back seat from my toddler.
Old Food, Dirty Clothes, Pet Hair Are All In My Car.
it is amazing the mess kids make in the car! These wipes are perfect to try and have some sense of cleanliness! 🙂
There always seems to be dirty tissues in my car which are pretty gross and old, half eaten food which I usually find under the seats.
The gross things that are in my car are in the back seat from when the grandkids were there like food and other unidentifiable items.
Probably food particles
The gross things in my car right now is old dirty rags from washing and drying the car thrown in the trunk.
Do kids count as “gross:”? With 3 children in the back seat, there are always nasty surprises back there.
Thanks to kids, I have old French fries from McDonald’s, melted crayons, chocolate smudges, and mud.
Dog hair and spilled coffee.
My car is too small to have any grossness. lol (Miata) Windows could use a cleaning. 🙂
Lots of dust, dog hair and french fries from the kids
I have four children, so there are many gross things in my car! I would have to say the most gross is the sticky left over chicken nugget sauce! Somehow, it ends up all over everything!
My kids get food all over. Found a gummy bear the other day.

As much as I wish they wouldn’t, my kids tend to eat snacks in the car. And there are sticky candies that have fallen to the floor & never gotten cleaned up. There was a soda that got spilled, and never totally cleaned up. And lots of dust, dirt & grime!
I have kids so the car is full of disgusting messy things.Half eaten food and used kleenex and napkins top the list.

There is a lot of trash and old food in our car and really who knows what else.
After camping trips our car is gross with mud, leaves, etc… and sometimes it seems to stick around for quite awhile even after cleaning!
I find dropped foods, tissues, once a wet diaper hubby stuck under seat, and once an apple (rotten) under seat.
I have wrappers in my car
Dirty finger prints and old tissues are sometimes found in our car.
When I clean out the car, I find food that the kids dropped.
Can’t really think of anything gross, just some dirt and leaves that get tracked into it.
I am sure there is some half eaten food and some clothes
Food and wrappers are probably hiding in my car.
I have fast food bags in the floor board and i’m sure there’s some old fries in them…..Gross I know I’ve got to clean it out.
Crumbs from my two kids.
Crumbs for my grandchildren for sure!
As if it’s not bad enough that of course my two year old leaves all sorts of gross things behind in the car lol. But honestly nothing, absolutely nothing compares to what my 245lbs St Bernard leaves behind after he rides anywhere with us!!! The slobber sleeks, puddles and all around muck makes you really wanna rethink having one of these. Of course though, i wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world, i just wish he’d come with his own cleaning personnel lol.
Lost fruit snacks
Coffee cups, clothes and empty soda cans..eww
Well….since I adopted my dog….who loves to roll around in stink and dead things- I would say the dog stink and dog hair are the gross things in my car.
Empty cans, food bags and filled ashtrays
I have no idea what type of gross things are in our car. We desperately need to clean it but just haven’t/ I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some type of snack in there somewhere. My absolute gross is finding the sticky build-up in the car drink holders….which usually happens.
we try to keep our cars pretty clean but we are always finding a lost cheeto or soggy dog nose prints on the windows.
I have 2 toddlers, I many gross things in my car!

I have a 13 month old daughter and you can tell by the way that my poor car smells. It’s got a strong odor of rotten milk, baby vomit, and diapers. I need to win this. Seriously
old food wrappers and probably candy from the kids
I’m guess maybe a jack in the box food wrapper and lots of starbucks coffee frap cups in the backseat of my truck. Lol! I need something to make it smell good again. Thank you for the chance 🙂
Food and wrappers the kids throw on the floor rather than throw away.
Dog hair is in my car.
I always find food under my daughters car seat.
