Is Your Car a Hot Mess?

Would you be mortified if your boss asked you for a ride? How messy is your car? I recently rode in a car that had stains from spilled coffee in the cup holder, paper trash on the floor, and a filthy windshield. Had I not known the driver well, I would have made assumptions about their ability to organize, make observations (don’t they notice the mess?), and hygiene.

Now imagine that the person in your car is someone who evaluates you, whether in a professional capacity (your boss or coworker) or personally (a potential date, a new acquaintance, or a fellow volunteer).

Go through your car and clear out any debris. Look in your glove compartment and toss old Dunkin’ receipts or expired registrations. Vacuum seats, floor mats, and carpet. Wash the windows, seats, console, dashboard, and floor mats. Then don’t forget to take the car through a carwash to clean the exterior.
