Interior Shampoo
This is what you add when a vacuum and a wipe down are not going to get it done. We shampoo the seats, the carpets and the upholstery so the dirt that soaked into the fabric comes back out with it. It attaches to any package you book, and we do the whole thing in your driveway.
What a Shampoo Does That a Vacuum Cannot
A vacuum and an interior wipe down handle what is sitting on top of the surface, and for most vehicles that is plenty. Once something has soaked into the fabric, though, suction alone is not going to reach it. Spilled coffee, melted crayon, road salt, mud that dried down in the carpet fibers, whatever your kids dropped between the seats last spring. All of that is living inside the material where suction cannot get to it.
A shampoo works cleaner into the seats and carpet and pulls it back out along with what was trapped in there. That is why an interior can look vacuumed and still feel grimy when you sit down in it. When the fabric itself is the problem, the fabric is what has to get cleaned.
You do not have to drive anywhere for it. We bring everything with us and work at your house or your job site, same as any other service we run across the Tri-Cities, TN area.
What Gets Shampooed
- Seats
- Carpets
- Upholstery
One thing to sort out before we get there
Trunk is vacuumed if the trunk is completely cleaned out. So if you want the back of the vehicle handled, pull the boxes and the gear out before your appointment.
It is an add-on, not a standalone
The shampoo goes on top of a package rather than replacing one. Pick the package you want, tell us to add the shampoo, and the add-on price below gets added to the package price.
Who Usually Books This One
If any of this sounds like your vehicle, the shampoo is the part of the job you actually want.
Parents
Juice boxes, crushed snacks and whatever ended up under the car seat. Kid messes go straight into the fabric and stay there.
Pet owners
Hair works its way into the weave of the seats and carpet, and muddy paws leave more behind than a vacuum can pull back up.
Anybody who has spilled something
Coffee, soda, a takeout container that tipped over on the passenger seat. Once it dries in, it needs to be cleaned out rather than wiped.
Smokers and former smokers
Smoke settles into the seats and carpet, so cleaning the fabric is where you start if the smell is coming from inside the cabin.
Work trucks
Job site dirt, concrete dust and mud tracked in every day for a couple of seasons. This is the reset button on a truck interior.
Anyone selling a vehicle
A clean interior is the first thing a buyer notices when they open the door and sit down in it.

Interior Shampoo FAQ
Can I book the interior shampoo by itself?
It goes on top of a package rather than standing on its own. Pick the package you want, add the shampoo to it, and we handle both in the same visit.
Why does the price change with my vehicle?
More seats and more carpet take more time and more product, so the add-on is quoted by size the same way our packages are. The three sizes and their prices are listed above.
What about the trunk?
Trunk is vacuumed if the trunk is completely cleaned out. We are not going to move your belongings around, so clear it out ahead of time if you want that area covered.
My back seat is covered in pet hair. Does that change the price?
It can. Prices may increase depending on the condition of the vehicle. Send us a photo or mention it when you reach out and we will tell you where you stand before your appointment.
Will the seats be damp when you finish?
There is moisture left in the fabric right after a shampoo, so crack the windows or park in the sun if you can. Ask us on site and we will tell you what to expect for your vehicle.
