4 Creative Ways to Keep a Rental Clean

Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a sleek compact car or a roomy midsize SUV from Empire Rent A Car. You’re cruising around New York City, enjoying the ride, but there’s another aspect to consider: how to keep a rental clean. Fear not, as we’re here to provide you with some creative and easy-to-follow tips.

Key Takeaways

• Use rubber mats to protect the car’s original floor mats.
• Store a small trash bag to keep litter under control.
• Put a cupcake liner in each cup holder to catch spills and crumbs.
• Regularly shake off and vacuum floor mats and seats.

1. Secure a Rub Mat

Whether you’re stepping in from a rainy day or have dirt on your shoes from a scenic hike, the floor mats of the car can easily get dirty. That’s why we recommend using an additional rubber mat. This protects the car’s original floor mats and is easy to remove and clean.

2. Use Trash Bags

It’s natural to snack or drink while on the road, and this can result in trash accumulating in the car. A small trash bag or a plastic bag can be a lifesaver. It’s easy to store and helps you keep the car tidy throughout your journey.

3. Drop Cupcake Liners in the Cup Holders

The cup holders can become a hotspot for crumbs and spills. By placing a cupcake liner in each cup holder, you can easily remove and replace it when it gets dirty, ensuring your cup holders stay clean.

4. Shake Off Floor Mats & Vacuum

Before returning your rental, it’s always a good idea to shake off the floor mats and give them a quick vacuum. You can do this at any local car wash. Just 10 minutes, in and out, and you’re done!
