I know we've talked about washing the exterior of the car, but how about the interior of your Elantra?
So, how often do you clean the interior of your Elantra?

At least 5 times a week. Even when its clean I clean it.
i'm too lazy to clean it thoroughly.. but I do keep it pretty clean as it is. I put once a year because I only remember cleaning it once.. and i've had the car a year.. so.. once.. a.. year.. haha

I'm pretty much the same. I clean out the trash every so often, but I have only really cleaned the interior once in 18 months.

i put every 2 months. i try to keep it clean of trash and stuff that sits in there, but only on occasion do i take a day to remove the seats, thouroughly (sp?) clean the mats, make sure there isnt a crumb of dust on the carpet, vaccuum the seats, armor-all the dash, clean the glass in/out, etc etc. winter its less rare since w/ salt tracking in it makes it more of a PITA, plus i dont want to be cleaning my car in 30 degree weather
I do mine at least twice a week.I try to keep it looking as new as possible

About once a week, the interior of my car is always pretty clean. I hate when its dirty.

Once every two weeks in Winter, about once a week in the other three seasons.
I've been meaning to take out all the seats and give it a really good clean (and the centre console) but I haven't had the time lately. I'll probably do that in spring

I'd say once every two or three months. With as much driving as I do, and moving stuff like band equipment around, I keep it generally pretty clean on the inside. You can fit a whole trap set and a half stack into one of these things, but not if you've got a bunch of trash in your back seat.

I keep it clean enough...mainly the only part I clean is the driver side floorboard, the seats, and the dash...
besides that...everything else never changes...cause I don't even have rear seats anymore...
mainly I only clean off my front seats and that's really it...ha

Where's the "when it gets dirty" option?

At least 5 times a week. Even when its clean I clean it.
:werd: I'm also crazy about keeping my elantra clean, its almost an obsession. :) around 3-4 times a week for me. Pull out the vacuum, dash wipes, everything

The thing that bothers me most is dust. I hate dust on the crash pad, and around the steering wheel area.
I usually do a full interior detail monthly, but I never leave rubbish in my car, so usually it looks pretty decent.
Damn leafs on the floor mats piss me off though... ;)

i put twice a week but i guess its a little less then that for a "full" cleaning but im always in my car so trash and things get built up pretty quickly so it always seems that i stop some where and spend like 5 to 10 mins cleaning out he trash like 2 time a week

ha, I'm on the lazy side ... I put every 3 months but even then it's not enough ... I always have a plastic bag to throw my garbage in ... but as for dust and everything, I'm just too lazy! :cool:

I take any garbage with me every time I exit the car. I have a California Dash Duster to give the dash, door panels, and center console a swipe every couple of days while waiting at a stop light or in a line somewhere. I vacuum the car maybe twice a year and wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth about as often. At that, it stays looking pretty new. Oh, the windows get done about once a month in the summer.
