They may make messes, but it turns out kids also love to clean.

The YouTube channel How To DAD has put out this cute video explaining how to wash a car with a baby. There's nothing complex about it: you just let the tyke wash, scrub and hose. It's pretty easy. And pretty adorable.

Who knew letting a wee little lad or lass help could actually be, you know, helpful?

Now, if only parents can figure out as seamless a way to get kids to clean their rooms, eat their vegetables, take a bath, brush their teeth, put on their clothes, stop fighting, play nicely and get into the car, then parenthood would be easier than bringing the car in for someone else to wash it.
