thanks for the advice bay-im hoping to get my apartment cleaned up this weekend...ive cleaned up a bit and can actually see my rugs in some areas- i have a few garbage bags filled with bottles and protein jugs ready for the trash soon
i vaccumed my car today after work and used the wipes on the dash and door jams
i stuffed the clothes in my trunk and threw out the shaker cups and bottles-right now my trunk is completely packed full-no more room for anything-i found a few bags of old sushi i left in there one time so i got rid of them they smelled funky-i had to get some febreeze to spray on the stuff in my trunk cuz it reeked in there-so my next mission is to clean that out
im gonna get it washed sat around 2 i think-and then my date is alter in the evening
i havent gotten a chance to wash my sheets since the last time i washed them cuz ive been hectic with work and stuff-but im hoping to get them washed by early next week
thanks again everyone for the advice
Why is there so much crap in (the trunk of) your car? Why?
Unless you have specific, temporary, cause to be transporting something like groceries, equipment, boxes, etc. there should be nothing in the trunk of your car save, perhaps, an emergency/first aid kit, a quart of oil, an ice scraper, or something similar.
I have an ex who owns a couple apartment buildings. He told me that years ago he was given a tip when taking applications from prospective tenants: whenever possible, meet them in person and at the end of the conversation walk them out to their car. Look at their car very carefully—especially the interior. Is the interior clean or dirty? Is it cluttered with junk, trash, etc. or is it pristine?
The way the person keeps the interior of their car is an exact mirror of the way they will keep their home.If the car’s interior was dirty or unkempt, he would invent a reason to deny their rental application.
When my ex first told me this, I was very dubious. But then I began to test his theory among my friends, family, colleagues, people I knew, etc. I would look at the interior of their car and then I would inspect their home. It was true!
The way someone keeps the interior of their car is the same way they keep their home.
All these years later, I continue to make this observation when I have cause to be in someone’s car and home; it is still true.
Food for thought.
