How to Clean Your Car Interior Like a Pro

Cleaning a car interior with a microfibre cloth
- Read for 1 minute

A spotless car interior makes every drive better — and you don't need a detailer's budget to get there. Here's a simple, swirl-free routine using one good microfibre cloth.

Start top to bottom

Dust falls, so work from the headliner and dash down to the seats and floor. This stops you re-dirtying areas you've already cleaned.

The dashboard and console

Lightly dampen a soft microfibre cloth and wipe screens, vents and trim. Microfibre lifts dust without scratching — and leaves no lint on your infotainment screen.

Glass without streaks

Use a clean, dry section of cloth on the inside of the windscreen and windows. For a streak-free finish, buff immediately. (See our guide on streak-free windows.)

Seats and trim

For fabric, blot spills rather than rub. For leather and vinyl, a damp cloth handles everyday grime; save dedicated conditioners for occasional care.

One cloth, every surface
