That is the answer. I did that too!

Virtually all my cars have had a tan interior
going back over many years, with many styles of leather, since both my wife and I prefer the look. We generally keep our cars for 3-5 years, and they are all daily drivers. In my experience for about the first year, they look as new. Then slowly the soil and grime becomes noticable. At this point a good interior cleaning every 4-6 months including the leather treatment of your choice, a good scrubbing for the floor mats, and vinyl cleaner of your choice on the non-leather interior parts will bring things back pretty close to new. Along about the 2 - 2 1/2 year mark, a new set of floor mats is a big help in restoring that new feeling.
So in sum it is more work to keep clean, but to me it is worth it.
