23. Cover up

Piling into the car with muddy or wet clothes and boots isn’t going to do your upholstery any favours.

So it’s worth investing in a good set of seat covers, and there is a wide range on the market to suit most types of vehicle.

To give your boot similar protection, check out Autoform’s moulded tray (£34.99). And for something more substantial, which also covers the sides, try Boot Buddy or Hatchbag.
