Mobile car cleaning services in Saint John

Eight services covering the inside and outside of your vehicle. Book one on its own or combine several in a single visit — we come to you either way.

Interior Car Cleaning

Most of the time you spend with your vehicle is spent inside it, and that is where dirt builds up fastest. Our interior cleaning works through the cabin section by section: seats, carpets, mats, door cards, console, cupholders, vents and glass. We come to your driveway in Saint John, so your car never has to leave home.

What’s included

  • Full interior vacuum — seats, carpets, mats, trunk and hard-to-reach areas
  • Dashboard, centre console and door panels cleaned and wiped down
  • Air vents, cupholders, switches and trim detailed
  • Interior glass and mirrors cleaned
  • Floor mats removed, cleaned and refitted

Seat & Floor Shampoo

Vacuuming pulls loose dirt off the surface. Shampooing goes after what has worked its way down into the fibres — the ground-in grime, the coffee that soaked in last winter, the general dullness that fabric picks up over years of use. This is the service for seats and carpets that look tired rather than just untidy.

What’s included

  • Pre-vacuum of seats, carpets and mats
  • Shampoo agitated into fabric seats and carpeted flooring
  • Extraction of shampoo and lifted soiling
  • Floor mats treated separately
  • Interior left ventilated to dry

Steam Cleaning

Steam is useful in a car interior for two reasons: heat loosens grime that wiping alone will not shift, and steam gets into the narrow gaps that cloths and brushes cannot reach. It is a good option when you want the cabin refreshed and sanitised without soaking it.

What’s included

  • Steam treatment of interior hard surfaces and trim
  • Air vents, cupholders and console gaps steamed and wiped
  • Seat rails, seams and door shuts addressed
  • Surfaces dried and finished after treatment
  • Careful avoidance of screens, sensitive trim and electronics

Pet Hair Removal

Pet hair does not vacuum out. It works its way into the weave of the seat fabric and the pile of the carpet and stays there, which is why a normal clean barely makes a dent. Removing it properly is slow, methodical work — and it is work we are happy to do.

What’s included

  • Hair lifted from fabric seats and carpets
  • Seat seams, backs and rails worked through
  • Trunk and cargo area treated
  • Under and behind folding rear seats checked
  • Full vacuum after hair removal

Salt Removal

If you drive in Saint John through the winter, road salt ends up in your car. It comes in on boots, dries into the carpet as white crusted stains, and coats the door sills, mats and lower panels. Salt removal is the service for undoing a New Brunswick winter.

What’s included

  • Salt residue treated and lifted from carpets and mats
  • Driver and passenger footwells worked through
  • Door sills, shuts and thresholds cleaned
  • Floor mats removed, treated and refitted
  • Lower exterior panels rinsed where accessible

Exterior Hand Wash

An automatic wash is fast, but spinning brushes are indiscriminate and they drag grit across your paint. Hand washing is slower and gentler: we can see what we are cleaning, work panel by panel, and keep abrasive dirt away from the finish.

What’s included

  • Full pre-rinse of the vehicle
  • Panel-by-panel hand wash from the top down
  • Wheels, wheel arches and lower panels cleaned separately
  • Door shuts, sills and fuel flap area cleaned
  • Exterior glass and mirrors finished

Exterior Wax

Wax does two things: it makes paint look deeper and more reflective, and it puts a sacrificial layer between the finish and everything the road throws at it. In a climate with salted winter roads, that second part matters.

What’s included

  • Exterior hand wash before waxing (required for a proper result)
  • Even wax application across painted panels
  • Buffed back to a consistent finish
  • Edges and trim surrounds checked for residue
  • Exterior glass cleaned to finish

Premium Car Fragrances

A finishing touch rather than a service on its own. Once the interior is properly clean, a fragrance keeps the cabin feeling fresh — and because the cleaning is done first, it is a finish rather than something masking a problem.

What’s included

  • A selection of fragrances to choose from
  • Applied as a finishing step after interior cleaning
  • Guidance on which option suits your vehicle
  • Completely optional — just say if you would rather skip it

How it works

Four steps from booking to a clean vehicle

No shop appointment, no waiting room. Here is the whole process.

01

Book Your Cleaning

Call, email or send the booking form. Tell us your vehicle and roughly what condition it is in.

02

Choose Your Service

Pick the services your vehicle needs. Not sure? Describe it and we will recommend honestly.

03

Prepare Your Location

Park somewhere we can work around the vehicle, with an outdoor tap and a power outlet nearby.

04

We Clean Your Vehicle

We arrive at your address and get on with it. You carry on with your day.

What we ask you to have ready

Because we clean at your location, we ask that you have an outdoor tap and a standard power outlet available. Most driveways, garages and parking spots already have both.

Not sure which services your vehicle needs?

Describe it to us and we will recommend based on what it actually needs — including telling you when something would not be worth doing.

You provide the water and electricity — we bring the cleaning expertise.
