Professional deep cleaning of your car's interior

Complete restoration of your car's interior with professional dry cleaning technology. We remove deep-seated stains, odors, and allergens from all fabric and carpet surfaces.

What is Interior Dry Cleaning?

Interior dry cleaning is a comprehensive professional service that uses specialized equipment, cleaning agents, and techniques to deep clean all fabric, carpet, and upholstered surfaces inside your vehicle, removing embedded dirt, stains, odors, and contaminants that regular vacuuming and surface cleaning cannot address. Unlike basic interior cleaning that only removes surface-level dust and debris, professional dry cleaning employs hot water extraction (steam cleaning), specialized upholstery cleaners, powerful extractors, and targeted stain removal products to penetrate deep into fabric fibers, breaking down and removing years of accumulated body oils, sweat, spilled liquids, food particles, pet dander, allergens, bacteria, and ground-in dirt. The process begins with thorough vacuuming and pre-treatment of stained areas with appropriate chemistry, followed by application of heated cleaning solution that is agitated into fabric to loosen contamination, then extracted along with dissolved dirt using high-powered vacuum systems, effectively washing and rinsing fabrics without oversaturating materials or leaving excessive moisture that could cause mold or mildew. Professional dry cleaning addresses all fabric surfaces including cloth or fabric seats, seat backs and sides, door panels, headliner, carpets, floor mats, trunk carpet, and any upholstered surfaces. For particularly stubborn stains like ink, grease, wine, or coffee, specialized stain removers and techniques are employed. The result is an interior that looks, feels, and smells dramatically cleaner and fresher, with restored appearance approaching like-new condition for fabric surfaces that had become dull, discolored, or matted from use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Complete professional interior dry cleaning typically requires 3-6 hours depending on the vehicle size, interior condition, and severity of staining or soiling. A small sedan with moderately soiled interior might be completed in 3-4 hours, while a large SUV with heavily stained seats and carpets could require 5-6 hours or more for thorough cleaning. This time includes pre-inspection, vacuuming, pre-treatment, the actual hot water extraction cleaning process, and drying time. The most time-consuming aspect is often the drying phase—while modern professional extractors remove the vast majority of moisture during the extraction process, fabrics still need 2-4 additional hours to dry completely depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and air circulation. We use high-powered air movers and ensure proper ventilation to accelerate drying. You can typically use your car the same day, usually 4-6 hours after service completion, but seats and carpets should be completely dry before heavy use to prevent re-soiling and ensure you don't sit on damp surfaces. For best results, we often recommend dropping your car off in the morning and picking it up in the late afternoon or evening. During winter or in high humidity conditions, drying may take slightly longer. We'll always advise you on specific timing for your vehicle. Avoid placing items on freshly cleaned carpets or sitting on seats until they feel completely dry to the touch.
Professional interior dry cleaning can successfully remove the vast majority of common stains including dirt, mud, food and beverage spills, grease, oil, makeup, light ink marks, pet accidents, and general soiling that accumulates from regular use. Our success rate is very high—typically 80-95% of stains are completely removed or reduced to barely noticeable levels, dramatically improving interior appearance. However, complete stain removal isn't guaranteed for every type of stain, and some factors affect results. Permanent or set stains that have been present for months or years, exposed to heat (which can set protein-based stains), or treated incorrectly in the past may be impossible to fully remove. Certain stains like permanent marker, some dyes, bleach damage, or stains that have actually damaged or discolored the fabric fibers themselves (rather than just soiling the surface) may be permanent. The age of the stain matters significantly—fresh spills cleaned within days respond much better than stains that have sat for months. Fabric type also plays a role; some synthetic materials are more stain-resistant, while others absorb stains deeply. We use specialized stain identification and removal techniques, multiple cleaning agents, and repeated treatments for stubborn stains. In cases where stains cannot be completely removed chemically, we'll be honest about the limitations. For permanently stained seats in otherwise good mechanical condition, options include seat covers or professional reupholstering. The best approach is addressing stains quickly and getting professional cleaning before they become set and permanent.
Yes, professional interior dry cleaning is completely safe for automotive fabrics and materials when performed by trained technicians using proper equipment, appropriate cleaning chemistry, and correct techniques. We take great care to protect your interior components. Our process begins with identifying your specific upholstery type—cloth, synthetic fabrics, microfiber, or blended materials—because different fabrics require different pH levels, chemical formulations, and cleaning approaches. We use automotive-specific cleaning products designed for car interiors rather than household carpet cleaners that can damage automotive fabrics or leave residues. Temperature, agitation, and extraction are carefully controlled to clean effectively without causing shrinkage, color bleeding, or fiber damage. For delicate materials like certain microfibers or vintage fabrics, we adjust pressure and chemistry accordingly. We avoid oversaturation which is a common problem with DIY or inexperienced cleaning—excess moisture can cause mold, mildew, shrinkage, or delamination where fabric separates from backing foam. Professional extractors remove 95%+ of moisture during cleaning to prevent these issues. We also protect non-fabric surfaces like leather (which requires different cleaning methods), plastic, metal, and electronics from moisture and chemicals. One concern some customers have is whether cleaning will cause seats to wear out faster—actually the opposite is true. Removing abrasive dirt particles and corrosive contaminants that grind into fabrics during use actually extends fabric life and prevents premature wearing and degradation. Proper cleaning maintains rather than damages materials.
The ideal frequency for professional interior dry cleaning depends significantly on your vehicle usage, passenger habits, and personal cleanliness standards, but general recommendations are once or twice per year for most vehicles. For average drivers who keep their cars relatively tidy and don't allow major spills or heavy soiling, annual professional dry cleaning is sufficient to maintain interior appearance and freshness, with basic vacuuming and light cleaning done monthly at home. However, certain situations call for more frequent professional cleaning. Families with young children should consider dry cleaning every 6 months due to increased likelihood of spilled drinks, food crumbs, and sticky fingerprints that accumulate quickly. Pet owners, especially those who regularly transport dogs, benefit from quarterly or bi-annual cleaning to address pet hair, dander, odors, and muddy paw prints. Smokers or those who frequently transport smokers should clean every 3-4 months as smoke odor and residue embed deeply in fabrics. Rideshare or taxi drivers who have constant passenger traffic may need monthly or bi-monthly cleaning due to heavy use and varied passenger habits. Commercial vehicles and work trucks exposed to construction dust, tools, or outdoor elements require more frequent attention. Conversely, garage-kept collector cars or vehicles driven minimally might only need cleaning every 18-24 months. Between professional cleanings, maintain your interior by vacuuming weekly, addressing spills immediately before they set, using floor mats to protect carpets, and avoiding eating messy foods in the vehicle. Regular light maintenance extends the time between needed professional services and keeps your interior in better condition overall.
Yes, professional interior dry cleaning is highly effective at eliminating smoke and pet odors, often achieving 90-100% odor removal when performed thoroughly, though the most severe cases may require additional treatments beyond standard dry cleaning. Odors don't just float in the air—they're caused by odor-causing particles, bacteria, and chemical compounds that become embedded in fabric fibers, trapped in carpet padding, and absorbed into porous materials. Surface treatments like air fresheners or odor sprays only mask smells temporarily without addressing the source. Professional hot water extraction dry cleaning removes odors at their source by physically extracting the contaminated particles and organic materials responsible for smells. For smoke odors, whether from cigarettes, cigars, or fire exposure, our cleaning process removes tar, nicotine, and smoke particles embedded in seats, carpets, and headliner fabrics. Smoke is particularly challenging because particles are microscopic and penetrate deeply, so thorough extraction throughout all fabric surfaces is essential. For pet odors, we remove urine, feces, vomit, dander, and natural pet oils that cause that distinctive 'dog smell.' Pet accidents that have soaked into carpet padding or seat cushion foam may require additional enzyme treatments or even padding replacement in extreme cases, as standard extraction cannot always reach contamination deep within foam materials. For the most stubborn odor situations—heavy smoke damage, multiple pet accidents, or mildew growth—we may recommend combining dry cleaning with ozone treatment or enzyme-based deodorizers that break down odor-causing compounds at a molecular level. It's important to also clean or replace cabin air filters and ventilation systems where odors can concentrate. In most cases, thorough professional dry cleaning alone eliminates or dramatically reduces odors to barely noticeable levels, restoring a fresh, neutral smell to your interior.
