How to use the 'Konmari' method to clean your car

Most people can relate to the frustrations of having all your personal items in disarray, and not having the slightest idea on how to start organising the mess.

Enter decluttering expert Marie Kondo.

The 34-year-old is the brains behind the 'Konmari' method, which has ignited an organisation revolution just by encouraging you to ask yourself one simple question - 'does this item spark joy?'.

Master 'Konmari' consultant, Gemma Quinn tells Today that the Konmari method is typically used to tidy the home but can also be used to tidy anything – including your car.  

"It's based on joy and achieving your ideal life" she says.

The first step is removing everything from the car, and sub categorising all the items that have been lurking in the crevices of the car.

What follows is joy checking and asking yourself if something is bringing you joy. If it's no longer serving its purpose, then you discard it for good.

Gemma proceeds to bring the remaining items back into the car and organising them into tidy compartments.

But it's the boot that usually collects the most amount of clutter. Gemma has found a home for all rogue items in the car, by placing them into their own compartments.
