After a small fire, a nearby blaze, or heavy exposure to smoke, a car can be coated in fine soot that settles into every surface.
After a small fire, a nearby blaze, or heavy exposure to smoke, a car can be coated in fine soot that settles into every surface. In Richmond Hill, we clean the interior and reduce the smell at your location. We are not a fire-restoration company, and we will be open about where our work ends. Tell us what happened when you book.
Soot and ash spread easily if they are wiped dry, so we start by vacuuming carefully with filtered equipment, then lift residue from the headliner, dash, vents and glass with the appropriate cleaners. Fabric seats and carpet are shampooed and extracted. Leather is cleaned and conditioned, since smoke dries it out. Do not rub soot dry, since it smears into fabric.
Smoke smell lives in porous materials: the headliner, seat foam, carpet and cabin air filter. After cleaning we use ozone treatment and suggest a new cabin filter to greatly reduce it. Owners in Oak Ridges Lake Wilcox often want to know if the smell will fully disappear; the honest answer is that improvement is usually significant, but we do not promise complete removal.
Some damage is beyond cleaning: melted plastic, burnt wiring, scorched upholstery or heat-warped trim. If the fire reached the engine bay or electronics, a body shop or insurer should assess the car first. We can then clean once repairs are done, or advise on replacing materials that are too saturated. Honest advice comes first, then the cleaning plan.

Richmond Hill is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, with townhouse complexes and condo towers clustered along Yonge Street and Highway 7, so we usually set up in a driveway and also work in underground garages.
Winter salt and slush from Yonge Street, Highway 7 and the 404 build up on lower panels, and cold snaps freeze grime onto the paint. Spring pollen from mature trees and dust from ongoing development coat cars quickly.
Richmond Hill streets are busy at rush hour, and a drive to a shop on the 404 or Yonge Street takes time. A mobile detailer works at your driveway, garage or office and fits around the commute.
We regularly work in Oak Ridges Lake Wilcox, Observatory and Headford, and every other part of Richmond Hill.
Everything is done on-site, at your location, with our own water, power and pro-grade products.
