Steam Cleaning
Not a spray.
Not close.
Chemical cleaners sit on top and mask the problem. Steam at 240°F+ goes into the fabric and kills what's actually in there — bacteria, stains, odors at the source.
240°F+
Pure Steam Heat
What it actually does
Pressurized steam that penetrates — not coats.
The heat goes into the fabric at the molecular level. It lifts embedded dirt out of the fibers, kills bacteria and dust mites, and breaks down stains without leaving chemical residue. No scent. No film. Just a clean cabin.
Deep Sanitize
Kills bacteria, allergens, and dust mites. No chemical needed — just heat.
Chemical-Free
Safe for kids, pets, and sensitive skin. Zero residue left behind.
Lifts Stains
Breaks stains down from inside the fiber — not just the surface.
Odor Gone
Destroys odor-causing bacteria. Smoke, food, pet — actually eliminated.
Families with kids — spills, crumbs, sticky messes
Pet owners with hair, dander, and lingering odors
Anyone with stubborn stains or musty cabin smells

Our Process
Four steps. No shortcuts.
The cabin reset from the ground up, in order. Every interior detail follows the same steps — the Executive package just goes deeper at the clean and protect stages.
01
Vacuum & clear out
A full vacuum through seats, carpet, and trunk — every crevice, not just the open areas. The loose dirt and debris come out first so nothing gets ground back in during cleaning.
02
Deep clean
All surfaces hand-wiped and floor mats shampooed. The Executive package goes further — full steam clean, shampoo extraction on seats and carpet, leather cleaned and conditioned, plus stain and odor treatment.
03
Protect
UV protection on the interior plastics to guard against sun damage and fading. The Executive package adds a fabric protectant that helps seats and carpet resist the next spill.
04
Finish
Interior glass wiped streak-free, an air-fresh finish, and a final once-over of every surface. On the Executive package the headliner gets spot cleaned too before we call it done.

Interior Answers
What's included in an interior detail?
Full vacuum, steam cleaning, and a hand wipe-down of every surface — dash, console, doors, vents, and trim. Carpets and upholstery get shampooed and extracted, leather is cleaned and conditioned, and the interior glass is done. The inside gets reset top to bottom.
Does this include the exterior?
No — this service is the inside only. Want inside and out done together? The full detail covers both. Just after the outside? We do exterior details on their own too.
How long does an interior detail take?
Usually 1.5–3 hours depending on size and condition. Shampooing carpets and extracting stains is the step that varies most — a heavily used interior takes longer than one that's been kept up. We don't rush it.
Will it get out stains and spills?
Shampoo and hot-water extraction pull most spills and stains out of carpet and upholstery — coffee, food, mud, the usual. Some set-in or dye-based stains won't fully lift. If a stain won't come all the way out, we'll tell you before we start, not after.
Can you get pet hair out?
Yes — pet hair gets real attention, not just a quick vacuum. It works its way deep into carpet and seats, so we lift it out properly. Heavy shedding cars take extra time, but we get it out.
Do you clean and condition leather?
Yes — leather seats and trim get cleaned, then conditioned to keep them soft and guard against cracking and fading. A UV protectant goes on the dash and plastics too, which helps them hold up against sun damage.
Can you get rid of smells and odors?
A deep interior clean removes most odors at the source — steam and extraction pull out what's causing the smell rather than covering it up. Smoke and strong pet odors are the toughest and don't always fully clear, but the car comes out noticeably fresher.
How often should I get the interior detailed?
Every 3–4 months keeps most interiors in good shape. Carry kids or pets, eat in the car, or drive daily? Lean toward the shorter end. We'll recommend a rhythm based on how you actually use it.
