Vehicle Cleaning?
I cleaned my car really good yesterday, It was way past due for a cleaning.
Which got me to thinking….How often does everyone clean their vehicles?
I would say I clean mine about every 2 months.
It feels so good to get into a clean car!!Bridge

Whenever I have time, which is usually every 2 months. Thats just the inside though. I try to clean the outside at least once a month maybe more. We live on a dirt road.

I'm extremely anal about my car. It gets washed regularly, about once every two weeks, depending on weather and how much I've been out. No eating in my car!!! All paper, trash, etc. is removed when I get home from anywhere. It's my one and only new car and it's just mine, so I keep it pretty spiffy.

I'm TERRIBLE about cleaning my truck. It IS so nice to get into a clean truck, but whenever I think about it, it flies right back out of my mind as soon as the door closes!

I'm pretty anal about mine. I don't have a regular schedule for it but it bugs the livin' daylights out of me to drive it dirty and cluttered. I'd say probably a good cleaning about once a month with a rinse off in between.

~About twice a year right before we go on our road trips. I''m not one of those people who 'live' in their cars so it's always pretty clean.~

From the the looks of mine not nearly enough! I basically work out of my car, so I have a tough time keeping it clean.

My van is a mess! It is embarassing. With the girls and their friends and the dog it gets quite messy. The girls seem to bring things in the car and never remove them.

They each get washed every other week and rinsed off the week in between.
We are in our cars several times a day so keeping the inside perfectly spotless is not easy. We keep two coolers in the back of the Durango, plus baseball bat bags, volleyballs, buckets of baseballs/softballs, football equipment, chairs and a few other things back there.
They are lived in but not nasty or messy.DD (19)

Depends on which vehicle it is. I am anal about my little car because it is my "baby" and it is one of the few things in life I splurged on because I wanted it (not a need). I am part of a club for owners of that type of car so we have meets and rallies so I like the car looking it's best. I am constantly making sure there is no clutter in it. It gets washed inside and out every few weeks during the nice weather.
Now my little workhorse is my trusty Honda Civic and it is the real family car. It doesn't get nearly the attention the little car gets. Honestly I usually clean it out when the piles get so high that stuff is falling out of the car. I did a big clean out and vacuum this spring, but honestly I cannot remember the last time it was washed. Probably last fall.
My husband has a van and he keeps it clean and shining all the time. He probably vacuums inside at least monthly. There is never any clutter in it at all.Carrie

I have to be honest, I usually only clean my car in the summer months and atleast once a month but in the winter I dont at all, just pick up wrappers/papers from inside each time I am in the car but no major cleaning or polishing.
