Thought I'd pass along a suggestion.
Shortly after I picked up my Prius I went down to the local drug store and purchased 2 cans of spray Scotchguard and sprayed every inch of the interior of my Pruis (not the plastic areas of course). Seats, arm rests, carpets and floor mats.
Before I sprayed the floor mats I cleaned them with the upholstery cleaner portion of my carpet cleaner unit as I didn't want to seal in any dirt.
This of course won't keep the dirt off the interior but it will make it easier to clean and keep stains from forming.
p.s. when I was done, the interior looked perfect and for those that like the new car smell (myself included), that remained.
