How to Deep Clean Your Car Interior
A deep car interior clean goes beyond a quick vacuum. Over time, dirt, crumbs, stains, odours, and bacteria build up in seats, carpets, and hard-to-reach areas. Regular deep cleaning keeps your car fresh, hygienic, and protects its value.
Why Deep Cleaning Your Car Interior Matters
Removes hidden dirt, allergens, and bacteria
Eliminates bad odors
Protects seats, carpets, and trim
Improves comfort and air quality
Helps maintain resale value
If your car hasn’t been cleaned in months—or you drive kids or pets—a deep clean is essential.
Step-by-Step: How to Deep Clean Your Car Interior
1. Clear Out the Interior
Remove all items, trash, and floor mats to access every surface.
2. Vacuum Thoroughly
Vacuum seats, carpets, footwells, under seats, and the trunk. Use crevice tools for tight areas.
3. Clean Seats
Fabric seats: Use upholstery cleaner, gently scrub, blot dry
Leather seats: Use leather-safe cleaner, then apply conditioner
4. Clean Carpets & Mats
Wash rubber mats with soap and water. Shampoo carpet mats and interior carpets if stained.
5. Wipe Hard Surfaces
Clean the dashboard, center console, door panels, vents, and cup holders using a microfiber cloth and interior cleaner.
6. Clean Interior Glass
Use streak-free glass cleaner, especially on the inside of the windshield.
7. Remove Odors
Deep cleaning fabrics usually removes odors. Avoid masking smells with heavy air fresheners.
How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Car Interior?
Light cleaning: every 2–4 weeks
Deep interior cleaning: every 3–6 months
More often if you have pets, kids, or heavy daily use.
