Essential Cleaning Supplies

Before we dive into the cleaning process, let's gather the necessary tools. When selecting commercial car cleaning equipment, ensure you have products like:

• Blue Label cleaner (for effective solvents)
• Cordless sprayer
• Best carpet cleaning hose
• Vacuum cleaner
• White terry cloth towels
• Pressure washer
• Mighty GT tool (or similar upholstery cleaning tool)
• Car-safe cleaning solution

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

1. Pre-cleaning Preparation

Start by thoroughly vacuuming the entire car interior. This removes loose dirt and debris, making the deep cleaning process more effective. Choose a cleaning product like Blue Label for its effective solvents, especially for tackling tough stains and grease.

2. Apply Pre-spray

Use a cordless sprayer to apply the chosen cleaning solution to the seats and mats. Focus on heavily soiled areas and greasy spots, ensuring even coverage for the best results.

3. Clean the Floor Mats

Remove the floor mats and clean them separately:

1. Apply pre-spray to the mats
2. Use a pressure washer with water only to rinse thoroughly
3. Allow mats to dry completely before replacing

4. Deep Clean the Seats and Cushions

For upholstery cleaning:

1. Use the Mighty GT tool or a similar specialized upholstery cleaning tool
2. Adjust the flow of the cleaning solution to prevent overspray
3. Overlap strokes for thorough cleaning and to avoid the backs of the wick
4. Repeat the cleaning process 3-4 times for best results
5. Use dry strokes to remove residue and ensure longer-lasting cleanliness

5. Extract and Dry

After cleaning:

1. Use dry strokes to extract excess moisture
2. Wipe down surfaces with white terry cloth towels
3. Allow seats to air dry completely

Tips for Professional-Level Results

Always test cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area first. Additionally, consider using carpet stain removal chemicals for challenging spots to keep the interiors spotless.
