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 Toronto, 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 Corso Italia 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.

Old Toronto is a mix of downtown condo towers with underground garages, semi-detached and row houses with no driveway at all, and leafy streets in areas like Leaside and the Annex where cars sit on permit street parking, so we plan around a garage level, a laneway or a curb spot rather than assuming a driveway.
Heavy road salt and slush from November through March leave white film on lower panels, wheel wells and carpet mats, especially on cars parked outside on the street. Spring brings pollen and tree sap, and the lake air and downtown construction dust settle on paint all year.
Driving a car across downtown to a shop means congestion on the Gardiner or DVP, expensive parking and a long wait without your vehicle. A mobile detailer works at your condo garage, office lot or curb, so the car stays where you live and work.
We regularly work in Corso Italia, Weston and Summerhill, and every other part of Toronto.
