You also need mandatory tools/products like a dedicated carpet shampoo and compressed air. This will not only produce top results, but also dramatically speed up the cleaning process.
I’ll elaborate on steps for interior cleaning and typical max time to complete:
*Vacuum loose debris (a thorough vacuuming isn’t needed) – 5 minutes
*Pre-soak fabric stains with appropriate cleaner – 2 minutes
*Clean (APC scrub, wipe blow) door panels – 15 minutes
*Clean center console, center pillar trim & dash (APC scrub, wipe blow) – 10 minutes
*Clean left front and left rear seats – 5-10 minutes
*Shampoo left front and left rear carpets & connected trim (vacuum & towel dry) – 10 minutes
*Clean right front and rear seats – 5-10 minutes
*Shampoo right front and rear carpets (vacuum & towel dry) – 10 minutes
*Blow out complete interior (front to back or back to front) – 10 minutes
*Final vacuum – 10 minutes
*Door jambs – 5 minutes
*Windows – 10 minutes
