We now ALWAYS carry water, liquid soap, a roll of paper towels and some rags. We just pack it in a bucket in the back. It is usually under everything, but if I have to take out everything to get avoid the smell, so be it. I love fabreze if I can manage to fit it in the car, but soap and water go a long way toward making it livable. Oh yeah, we have a pocket organizer that hangs on the back of the drivers seat, in that we also have wipes and ziplock plastic bags. We have managed to avoid the vomit in the car for the past year by giving them a bag until we can stop. This has been used countless times and the girls reach for the bags at the same time they let us know they are sick. Sorry that you had to go through that! Been there, done that, fingers crossed that we NEVER do it again! .-= Pattyann´s last blog ..<a href="http://pitterlepostings.blogspot.com/2010/04/centered-on-jesus-christ.html" rel="nofollow">Centered on Jesus Christ</a> =-.

Amelia & Duncan especially had a wonderful time. I am going to post more about Disneyland soon, but right now the conclusion of the trip was more vivid! We take our car to Supersonic in Orem (but there are locations all along the Wasatch front). See <a href="<strong rel="nofollow">http://www.supersoniccarwash.com/detailing_services</strong></a> It looks like I exaggerated how little it costs (which also makes the guy in Hurricane seem more reasonable)--but it is possible to buy packs of coupons for their services in advance and then it's cheaper. I like how you can pick and choose between their services, just getting the carpet done, or just the vinyl, or just the upholstery--whatever you need and then you don't pay for the services you don't need. I often feel guilty for paying to have someone else detail my car, but I also think I am more likely to drive the car longer if I keep it feeling nice. I hope to drive this van for another ten years. Supersonic does a good job. I love having a clean car. (Of course, it is usually full of papers and other items from the kid's schools, but I do love it when it is clean). Disneyland was great.

I hope the Disneyland part was much better. And I agree - I would've paid the same. Am interested in where you get your car done! After a throw up incident about a year ago I had our car done at that Firehouse place in American Fork (i think they're in more locations than just that one) and I'm remembering it being $100. While they did get the smell out, the over all "detailing" job wasn't very good. What a sad end to a trip! I hope the Disneyland part was much better. And I agree – I would’ve paid the same.
