I'm a decently clean person. But, I live a busy life outside of work with a family. My car will look cluttered often. If a prospective employer is vocally judging me based on what the inside of my car looks like, they've crossed a line. I won't work with or for someone who invades my space like that.

The job interview is just the time at the place of the interview, IMO. Yes, be prepared. Arrive timely and clean. Come with the knowledge about the prospective role. But, that's not part of the actual interview. Does your job pay you to prepare for the work day? Why should an interview include the time it takes to prepare for it?

If I'm going for an interview with a meal, I'm going to order something that I can eat without making much of a mess. For me, that means chili and other soups are out of the question.

Any place can be cluttered, but still be clean. There is a difference. Fast food cups, wrappers and packing materials piled up on the floorboard is just trash not clutter.

Now if you have tools, materials, and manuals scattered about, that is going to tell a whole different story.
