You would not want to attract pests into your car.  Make sure to follow these steps below to keep your car interior clean.

REMOVE AND PICK-UP STUFF THAT DOES NOT BELONG IN IT
If there are kids who ride in your car, you will be surprised what you see under the seats.  Toys, food wrappers, and other surprises await you. Make it a habit to clear out items in your car that don't belong there. Water bottles and other items accumulate quickly. The most important thing here is not to let it accumulate, that will make it much easier for you.

WIPE THE DASHBOARD, DOOR PANELS, AND OTHER SURFACES
Wipe the dust off the dashboard and other surfaces inside your car.  It includes the display panel, control panel, the windows, and steering wheel. The control panels can be a bit tricky.  With all the curves, grooves and small spaces, you may need to clean it with cotton swabs to get all corners.  The same is true for cup holders and other hard to reach areas.  Baby wipes are a good medium to clean the inside of your car. 

If you want to take it up to a higher level, ask your car specialist on sprays and protectors, you can wipe on the different surfaces.

REMOVE THE FLOOR MATS AND VACUUM
Make sure to remove the floor mats, if you will clean the floor.  It will make it easier for you to clean out all the sand and grime underneath. Move the chairs back and forth to reach areas under the seat easily. Vacuum from the ceiling all the way down to the seats and flooring. 

Watch out for food crumbs and other items that can attract pests.
