    Is the bisque hard to keep clean?

    Thanks

    Depends on:

    - how well you take care of the interior
    - how often you clean
    - who sits in it (messy ppl/dog or tidy ppl)


    I find it easy to take care of. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser takes care of the scuffs on the door sills and a clean damp cloth cleans the seats and dashboard. Of course we have no dogs or young kids so that helps a bit. It still looks almost new (almost cause there's oh so slight wear on the driver's lower seatback and the dealership managed to stain one of the rear seatbelts with grease)

    Yes it is / was, difficult for us to keep cleen. We switched to leather after about a year and a half as body oils began to make our '04's fabric look like worn out seal skin. Gross. When they pulled the cloth off the foam to replace it with leather? The foam was NASTY. All kinds of soda stain spills, coffee stain spills, and who knows what (no one ever fessed up ... friends, car pool'ers, family, oh maybe it was the dogs :p ). Making matters worse, my spouse is allergic to everything and then some. Since that includes dust mite droppings ... munching away on people's skin that sluffs off, and down it goes into the pad, sitting in the Prius began to cause sneeze / cough fits. Some worry the leather gets too hot in the CA summers, but for us, it was a small price to pay. That being said, the search tool is a wonderful thing. The topic as been posted & reposted over and over.

    I'm currently renting a Prius from Hertz (I have 2 other cars in the shop at the moment). The 2007 Prius with only 10,000 miles has a bisque colored interior. The bisque interior fabric / carpets seems to show more dirt and stains than any other vehicle I've driven in years.... We plan on buying a Prius within 6 months. It absolutely will Not have a bisque colored interior.
