With spring here, it’s time to do some spring cleaning and reorganizing. One thing you don’t want to forget to spruce up is the inside of your minivan. Improving the organization in your minivan can go a long way to prevent the dreaded weekly cleanups of the interior. Those with large families know how fast the mess factor in the back seats can escalate. So stay on top of the clean game with these five top minivan organization tips.
-
Add Custom-Fit Floor Mats
Spending a few extra dollars on custom-fitted floor mats can make worrying about spills a thing of the past. Cleaning around the back seats, which are often a minefield of old French fries, sand, dirt, and much more is as easy as removing the mat and dumping the contents into the trash. Forget the vacuum: Many of these mats can be hosed off for easy cleanup!

Equip Your Car with Cleaning Essentials
Keeping adequate cleaning supplies in your minivan can prevent small messes from turning into big ones. Items such as leather wipes, disinfectant wipes, a spare trash bag, and a battery-powered vacuum can all be stowed comfortably in the compartments below the seats, such as those found on the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. When you don’t need them, they’ll be entirely out of sight.
-
Behind-the-Seat Hooks
Adding extra organization and storage options is always a great way to keep order in the back of your minivan. Storage hooks that hang behind the seat can hold backpacks and other belongings for easy access. It also keeps items off the floor, so they don’t slip underneath the seats, not to be seen for months on end.
Those with older kids or more full seats in the minivan may find that behind-the-seat hooks take up too much valuable legroom. In this case, turn to handy extras such as Command hooks, which can be hung anywhere.
-
Take Advantage of In-Cabin Storage
Vehicle designers have added all kinds of helpful storage space throughout the cabin for drivers and passengers to stay organized. For example, the Chrysler Pacifica features a storage compartment underneath the console for private storage, making it perfect for purses and other valuables. Be sure to also take advantage of areas under the floor of the cargo compartment and under the seats. It’s more convenient to keep some items in your car at all times, but that doesn’t mean you need to keep them in plain sight.
-
Go Wireless
Wireless charging is finally here! When shopping for a new vehicle, see if there are options to include a wireless charging port. This can greatly reduce clutter for front passengers by removing all the wires around the cabin. For example, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica includes a wireless charging station as well as a USB-C port that provides ultra-fast charging times.
This year, resolve to keep your minivan clean, organized, and free of clutter. Many features of the newly redesigned Chrysler Pacifica are designed to help you stay organized – give us a visit at Drive Direct and see what we’ve got for you!
