By late winter, most cars in Scarborough wear a pale crust of road salt on the floor mats, door sills and carpet. It looks like chalk, but it is a mineral residue that draws in moisture and keeps the carpet damp. Our mobile service dissolves and extracts it right where you park. The sooner it is treated, the easier it comes out.
Vacuuming alone will not do it. We loosen the dry salt, spray a salt neutralizer that dissolves the crystals, then use hot-water extraction to rinse it out of the carpet fibre. We also lift the mats and clean underneath, because trapped moisture there can rust the floor pan and leave a musty smell. Salt that dries inside the padding is the reason rings keep returning.
Rubber mats get scrubbed and rinsed, while carpeted mats take extraction and a dry pass. Door sills and plastics get a wipe-down so the white film stops transferring onto trousers. Drivers in places like Scarborough Bluffs often find the front driver footwell is worst, since boots bring salt in every trip. Heavy-duty boots and wet snow make it worse through January and February.
For best results, book once the heaviest salt season has passed, then again in late fall if you want a head start. A set of deep rubber liners cuts the build-up in half. Visits typically take a couple of hours, and we can combine them with a wider interior detail if the rest of the cabin needs attention.

Scarborough has plenty of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, plus townhouse complexes and a growing number of condo and apartment towers around Scarborough Town Centre and along Kennedy and Eglinton, so we are comfortable setting up in a driveway, a visitor lot or an underground garage.
Winter salt and slush on the 401, Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East leave heavy residue on lower panels and in carpets. Cars parked near the lake along the Bluffs deal with damp air and spring pollen from the many mature trees.
A drive from Scarborough to a downtown shop can mean an hour or more each way on the 401 or DVP. Mobile detailing saves that trip and works well with the many driveways in the area.
We regularly work in Scarborough Bluffs, Cedarbrae and Armadale, and every other part of Scarborough.
