How clean does the interior of my car need to be to avoid bears being attracted?

Hi, I'm visiting South Lake Tahoe for the first time with my family next week and I was wondering to what extent I should get the interior of my van (2021 Toyota Sienna) cleaned before the trip to avoid bears smelling old crumbs etc. and trying to get in?

We'll be staying in Meyers and I'm trying to familiarize myself with best practices regarding bears since I don't have any experience being near them.

I have 2 toddlers and try to keep our van clean but I bet some old crumbs of food could be in nooks and crannies since we rarely vacuum the car.

Would it be necessary to get the interior fully detailed? Or would maybe just vacuuming the car myself be good enough?

Thanks for any insights :)
