Steam is great in the right places
Cupholder edges, textured plastic, seams, vents, and tight trim can hold grime that a towel wants to skip over. A controlled shot of steam can loosen that up so we can brush it and wipe it away.
The important part is what happens next. The dirt still has to be removed. Blowing steam at it and moving on just leaves wet grime somewhere else.
There are places we won't force it
Screens, electronics, weak adhesives, sagging headliners, old plastics, and certain seat materials don't need a bunch of heat and moisture. We'll switch tools when steam creates more risk than benefit.
And we don't sell this as medical sterilization. It's a cleaning method we use during interior work. That's the honest description.

Questions we hear about Steam Cleaning
Do you steam the whole interior?
No. We use it on areas that can handle it and where it actually helps. Other areas get a different method.
Is Steam Cleaning a full interior detail?
No. A full interior still needs vacuuming, wiping, agitation, stain work, and other steps. Steam is one tool inside that process.
Does steam sterilize my car?
We don't make a sterilization or medical disinfection claim. We're using steam to loosen dirt and buildup.
