How to Clean and Organize Your Trunk

Step 1: Remove Everything

When it comes to cleaning out your trunk, the best place to start is at ground zero. Take everything out until it is completely empty. Sort through your things and organize it into what’s a necessity and what is not. This will help you clearly identify what should be placed back into your trunk later. Make sure to take some time to clean the trunk or cargo area of your vehicle as well.

With everything removed, it’s the perfect time to vacuum and clean up the carpet. If you’re looking for car detailing and cleaning solutions, the WeatherTech TechCare line has plenty of high-quality options, like the TechCare Carpet Cleaner with SpotTech.

Step 2: Get A Cargo Mat

There’s no better way to ensure you trunk stays clean than laying down a WeatherTech Cargo Liner before putting everything back into place. Cargo Liner will keep any dirt from hauling bags of salt in the winter or soil and mulch in the spring and summer out of your vehicle’s carpet. Its raised outer lip also helps contain spills from groceries or other liquids. Plus, the skid-resistant surface helps keep your cargo in place without slipping and sliding during your drives.

Step 3: Restock with Necessities Only

It’s time to put things back into your trunk. Start with only the bare necessities: emergency kits, jumper cables, washer fluid, spare oil, a blanket, flashlight, tire inflator and more safety essentials. Keeping only the necessities in your trunk and fewer items overall is a great way to keep things organized and tidy.

Step 4: Invest in Organization

Look at that, your trunk is now clean as a whistle. It’s important to do what you can to make sure it stays this way, which is why you might want to invest in a trunk organizer or containment system. Without being properly secured, a sudden stop or sharp turn can send everything flying across your cargo area. A cargo containment system is a must-have to help keep everything securely in its place. The WeatherTech CargoTech cargo containment system and trunk organizer are a great way to keep groceries, coolers, sporting equipment and much more standing upright. With a grippy underside, it is designed to keep all your cargo in place.

Now that you’ve cleaned and organized your cargo area with nothing but the best solutions, you can drive with confidence knowing there’s nothing rolling around or making a mess in the rear of your vehicle.
