Useful for every car: 10 life hacks that will simplify the driver's life

For every car owner, his or her car is actually a second home. And clutter accumulates there just as quickly and unrestrainedly as it does in the house. That's why small life hacks that help organize space and make car cleaning easier can be extremely useful.

5-Minute Crafts has collected a dozen such tips that will help make the driver's life more comfortable. They will also be useful for passengers.

A nozzle for cleaning hard-to-reach places

To make a flat nozzle for vacuuming hard-to-reach areas in the cabin, take a toilet paper roll sleeve. Slide the sleeve over the vacuum cleaner tube and squeeze the free edge to create a straight slit. This way, you can clean the corners and spaces between the seats and their backrests.

Phone holder with elastic band

If you insert an ordinary office eraser into the slots of the air intake grille on the dashboard, you can conveniently attach your smartphone to the loop.

How to remove hot air from the car

Forced air is a quick way to ventilate the cabin. To activate it, roll down the passenger window and then open and close the driver's door several times. This will help cool the cabin in hot weather and help to eliminate odors, for example.

How to prevent glass fogging

Silica gel sachets can help remove excess moisture that creates fog on the glass and obstructs the view. You can find them in shoeboxes, for example. Simply place them in front of the windshield and remove them when the glass is clean.

How to avoid scratching other people's cars

To avoid the risk of scratching other people's cars in a tightly packed parking lot, you can use soft adhesive tape. Use it to seal the doors around the perimeter.

How to safely fill the oil

If you don't have a narrow-mouthed sinkhole to put fresh oil in your car, use a screwdriver. Insert the metal end of the screwdriver into the opening of the tank and direct the liquid through it.

How to quickly clean the steering wheel

To remove large dirt such as crumbs or dust from the steering wheel, you can use a popular childhood toy called a slime ball. Stretch it out so that the weight of the slime can cover the steering wheel. Pull it over the entire diameter, leave it on for a few seconds, and then remove it. All the dirt will stick to the slide. You can also clean the dashboard and door handles in the same way.

How to organize the trunk space

Arrange the bag and package rack in the trunk. To do this, stretch a rope from edge to edge. Now you can hang your bags by their handles and they won't fall off while driving, and things won't spill out.

How to make a bottle holder for liquids

If you urgently need to fill up your car with some liquid and don't have a sinkhole at hand, you can use a regular plastic bottle. Simply cut off the bottom of the bottle and insert the neck into the appropriate hole. Carefully pour gasoline, oil, or other liquid through the bottle.

How to fix the handle above the seat

To prevent the handle above the seat from hanging in an uncomfortable folded position all the time, you can move it to a horizontal position using the plastic parts near the handle. One of them can be lifted and the handle can be fixed.
