Look at it first
We go through the vehicle with you, check the materials, and test in a hidden spot before anything else.
A cabin is a small sealed box with no airflow once the doors shut, so anything that gets into the seats stays there. We clean car, RV and boat interiors where they're parked, across San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Your sofa sits in a room with windows, a door and moving air. A car, a boat cabin and a closed-up RV have none of that.
Spill something on a seat and it soaks into foam that has nowhere to dry to. Park it in the sun and the heat drives whatever's in there back out as a smell. Shut it for a week and that smell concentrates. It's the same reason a boat that's been on the dock all winter smells the way it does, and why the car that had milk spilled in it two summers ago still isn't right.
That's also why cleaning a vehicle interior properly is mostly about how much water goes in and how much comes back out.
Your driveway, the storage lot, the marina or the RV park. An RV isn't something you drop off.
A cabin dries slowly, so putting less water in and extracting more of it out is most of the job.
We're a California Certified Green Business and use plant-based, low-VOC products. No solvent smell sitting in a closed cabin afterwards.
If a smell is coming from a leak rather than the upholstery, cleaning won't solve it and we'll tell you that first.
We'd rather tell you before we arrive than after we've charged you.
Pink staining on marine vinyl, which is bacterial and soaks into the material itself
Ground-in dirt in carpets and floor mats
Smoke smell that's gone through the headliner and the air system
Food and drink spills
Mold growing because water's getting in somewhere
Pet hair, dander and general dog smell
Sun-faded and cracked dashboards, vinyl and trim
Body oils and grime on seats and door panels
Tears, splits and worn-through seams
Salt and sand tracked into a boat cabin
Urine that's soaked down into the seat foam
Musty smells that are sitting in the fabric
We always need water. Electricity only comes into it if we can't park close enough to run off the truck.
Odor is what most people actually call us about, so it's worth being straight about where it comes from.
If the smell is in the fabric, it comes out. Spilled drinks, wet dog, damp towels left in a boat cabin, general years-of-use smell. Cleaning and proper extraction handle all of that.
If it's coming from somewhere else, cleaning the upholstery won't touch it. A musty boat or RV is often a leak, and until the water's stopped the smell comes straight back. Smoke gets into the headliner, the vents and the air system, which is why it's so hard to shift. Urine that's gone through the seat cover into the foam is below where a surface clean reaches.
We'll tell you which one you've got when we look at it, and if it's not a cleaning problem we'll say so rather than take the job.
We go through the vehicle with you, check the materials, and test in a hidden spot before anything else.
Hair, sand, crumbs and loose dirt come out with a vacuum first. Wetting that in makes it harder, not easier.
Stains and odor sources get treated and left to work before extraction.
We use as little moisture as the material allows and pull back as much as we can, because what stays behind is what smells later.
Air movers and open doors, then we go through the vehicle with you, including how long to leave it open and anything that didn’t fully come out.
Pricing depends on the type of vehicle, its size, and the condition of the interior. We confirm the price before we start.

Pet hair removal, odor treatment and heavy staining are quoted after we've seen it. Upholstery-only and carpet-only jobs cost less than a full interior, so tell us what you actually need.
We provide auto, RV and boat interior cleaning throughout San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area, including the marinas and RV parks around the bay. Don't see your area? Call us.
