Tidy Up the Trunk With Laundry Baskets

Let’s be honest - in the middle of winter, we all have dreams of summer temperatures and spending time swimming in the pool. Until the temperatures rise, there is use of that popular pool noodle to help keep your belongings off the floorboard and underneath the seats of your car. If you make a small investment in a summer pool noodle, you can cut it to fit the space in between your seats and the center console of your vehicle. In such a small investment, you can save yourself so much headache and hardships searching for your belongings that are often lost in between and underneath your seats of your car.
