What is an Interior Deep Clean Service?
Interior car cleaning is a comprehensive deep clean of your car’s cabin, ensuring every surface is spotless and sanitised. It is more than just a quick vacuum and wipe-down; it’s a meticulous process designed to remove ingrained dirt, eliminate bacteria, and refresh the entire space. Our trusted professionals use high-quality products and advanced techniques to bring your car’s interior back to its factory-fresh condition.
What’s Included in an Interior Deep Clean?
Our interior cleaning service includes the following key elements:
- Floors and Carpets Shampooed and Disinfected. Over time, carpets and mats accumulate dirt, food crumbs, and bacteria. A professional interior clean includes deep shampooing and disinfection of these surfaces, removing stubborn stains and leaving your car fresh and hygienic.
- Seats Shampooed. Fabric seats absorb spills, dust, and odours, making them a breeding ground for bacteria. Deep shampooing lifts stains and dirt while restoring the original colour and texture of your seats.
- Leather Cleaned and Dressed. Leather seats require special care to prevent cracking, fading, and wear. Professionals use gentle cleaners and premium conditioners to remove dirt while nourishing and protecting the leather for long-lasting quality.
- Headliner Cleaned & Disinfected. The headliner (the fabric covering your car’s ceiling) often collects dust, smoke, and odours. It is carefully cleaned and disinfected to restore freshness without damaging the delicate material.
- Full Interior Steam Cleaned. Steam cleaning is one of the most effective ways to sanitise and refresh your car’s interior. It eliminates bacteria, dust mites, and odours while being safe for most materials. Steam reaches deep into fabrics, vents, and crevices, providing a thorough clean without excessive chemicals.
- Seatbelts Disinfected. Seatbelts are often overlooked in regular cleaning routines, yet they come into contact with hands, clothing, and even food spills. Disinfecting seatbelts helps eliminate germs, stains, and odours for a cleaner, healthier interior.
- Air Freshener Applied. A high-quality air freshener is a final touch to your interior detailing service, leaving your car smelling clean and pleasant. You can choose from a variety of scents or opt for a neutral, fresh finish.
There’s a clear difference between a basic and a deep interior car clean. A quick vacuum and wipe-down might make your car look tidy, but they won’t tackle the bacteria, odours, and ingrained stains.

Why Choose Clean Me for Your Interior Car Detailing?
While regular vacuuming and wiping down surfaces can keep your car looking decent, professional interior detailing offers a deeper clean with numerous benefits:
- Eliminates Harmful Germs and Bacteria. Daily use exposes your car’s interior to bacteria, viruses, and allergens. A professional clean ensures all surfaces are thoroughly disinfected, improving your vehicle’s overall hygiene.
- Restores Original Look and Feel. Interior detailing removes years of built-up grime and wear, making your car’s interior look and feel as good as new.
- Enhances Air Quality. Dust, pet dander, and mould spores can accumulate in your car’s vents, upholstery, and carpets. Deep cleaning eliminates these pollutants, improving the air quality inside your vehicle.
- Increases Resale Value. A well-maintained interior significantly boosts a car’s resale value. Potential buyers are more likely to pay a premium for a clean, fresh-smelling, and well-kept interior.
- Prolongs the Lifespan of Interior Components. Dirt and grime can cause premature wear and tear on upholstery, carpets, and leather surfaces. Professional cleaning helps protect these materials and extend their lifespan.
How Often Should You Get an Interior Deep Clean?
The frequency of interior cleaning depends on various factors, including how often you use your vehicle, whether you have pets or children, and your general cleanliness preferences. As a general recommendation:
- Light Use (commuters, occasional drivers): Every 4-6 months
- Moderate Use (families, daily drivers): Every 2-3 months
- Heavy Use (rideshare drivers, pet owners): Monthly or more frequently
Tips for Keeping Your Car Interior Cleaner for Longer
Even the best-kept car needs a professional interior deep clean every few months, especially if it’s been used a lot. That being said, with a few small habits, you can maintain your car’s fresh, like-new feel for much longer.
Try these tips:
- Avoid eating in the car. Spills, crumbs, lingering food smells, and empty packaging are among the most common causes of an unkept car.
- Give your mats a shake. Your mats hold far more dirt and debris than you’d think. Often, it’s the accumulated dirt that gives your car that musty smell. Shake your mats out weekly to prevent the dirt from becoming ground in.
- Keep wet wipes in your glovebox. If disaster happens, it’s sensible to have some wet wipes (or a microfibre cloth) to hand to tackle small spills on the go.
- Organise your boot and interior. Using storage bins and organisers is an easy way to keep your boot tidy and avoid items like chargers, snacks, or kids’ toys cluttering your seats and floors.

Your Questions Answered
Usually, it takes around 3 to 4 hours to complete a car’s interior detailing. That, of course, depends on the level of service you request. A car detailer can finish vacuuming and wiping down your surfaces in under an hour. However, if your car requires substantial cleaning or is quite large, it may take much longer.
Always ask the operator in advance for an estimated timeline. Please park in a location where there’s enough time to complete the task. Your operator will let you know via the app when they’re finished.
Yes. Professional steam cleaning is 100% safe for most materials, including fabric, plastic, and leather. It’s the best way to clean car interiors, removing any stains or odours, without damaging the material. Other methods usually rely on harsh chemicals, which can damage or degrade materials.
Your chosen operator should disclose which chemicals and processes they use. If in doubt, send them a message via the Clean Me app – they’ll be more than happy to answer your questions.
Absolutely. In fact, it’s one of the best reasons to schedule interior car cleaning. Pet hair and odours can become ingrained in the fabric, and these lingering smells are troublesome to remove for anyone but a professional.
Our mobile car valeters and detailers use advanced tools and products to lift the smells and embedded hair, leaving your car as fresh as the day you bought it.
