Not only does your car look great when you keep up with the cleaning, but it can also be beneficial to your health and the health of your passengers. Not only that, keeping your car “like new” can increase its resale value by hundreds, or even thousands of dollars.
Samarins.com has a few helpful tips for keeping your car’s interior (no matter how old) looking and smelling great. The best part, you probably have a majority of what you need right at home. Just remember, when you use water or any wet cleaning product, not to get it into electrical components, it may cause problems. Also, don't soak the seats too much and don't let water to get under the carpet. This could cause corrosion, stains and that damp moldy smell. Make sure to dry the interior well after you are done.
Alright, here’s a few basic tips for cleaning the interior of your vehicle, now we didn’t touch on everything, but just the basics. For more information and tips on cleaning leather interior and how to get rid of that moldy smell from your air conditioner, be sure to visit Samarins.com:

Vacuuming

If you have a decent vacuum with attachments, you’re in good shape. Remove the floor mats and vacuum those separately. Using the proper attachment, vacuum the seats and the carpet, reach under the seats, around the pedals and the area between the front seats and the center console. Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum the dashboard, vents, knobs, and so on. Use the same attachment to vacuum leather seats; they can be easily damaged or scratched with the vacuum hose.

Cleaning Fabric Seats and Carpet

To spot clean your seats and carpet, you can use a number of cleaning agents available at your local store. After choosing one that is right for you, be sure to follow all directions provided by the company. Typically, the directions would say to shake the can before using, spray evenly on the upholstery or carpet, and to rub the spot till it is gone. Repeat on all the seats and carpet. Just be sure you don’t soak the upholstery and carpet with the cleaner.

Cleaning the Windows

Be sure to clean all the windows from the outside and inside. A window-cleaning spray and glass-cleaning towel will do a good job. Just be careful when you clean the rear window from the inside. If your vehicle has heating lines for the defogger, they can be easy to damage. Use a parallel wiping motion.

But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them.
