Car Cleaning Tips

Getting their cluttered SUV organized is a big job, and some of the items Lynne and T.J. find inside are truly amazing.

• Clothes meant to be given as gifts
• A sonogram picture of a friend's baby that was born almost one year earlier
• Baby bottles ("Our kids are in fourth, fifth and sixth grades," Lynne says.)
• A checkbook
• A library book they've already paid to replace
• Medicine
• Their son's inhaler
• Socks
• "Oh, and some cinnamon rolls that were from at least early fall," Lynne says.
