What upholstery cleaning includes

We clean fabric upholstery with an extractor: front seats, rear bench and floor mats, including seams and hard-to-reach gaps. The cleaning solution goes into the fabric and the extractor pulls it back out with the dirt, so no chemicals are left in the upholstery. We also clean the headliner, Alcantara and child seats.

We clean and condition leather seats and trim, which keeps the leather soft and slows down cracking.

Full interior cleaning with disassembly is for a cabin that needs cleaning end to end: we take the seats out and clean the spots you can't reach otherwise. After cleaning, the interior takes 2 to 6 hours to dry, depending on how deep the cleaning goes.

“From” prices are for a compact car in good condition. Estates and SUVs have more upholstery, and leather, Alcantara and velour take different products and a different amount of time. The inspection and quote are free, and you get the exact price before we start.

What not to try yourself

Of all the DIY jobs clients bring us to fix, interior cleaning comes up most often. According to Bogdan, our detailer, 90% of cases go the same way: cheap chemicals and no extractor. The result:

  • white stains all over the interior; sometimes they can't be fixed because the fabric is already burnt;
  • too much chemical left in the fabric, which has to be neutralised and pulled out with an extractor.

“Either way, there's a big risk of ruining the whole interior,” says Bogdan.

Leather goes the same way. Someone watches a video, buys a kit and ends up with scuffed leather and streaks on the door cards.

If you've already tried cleaning the interior yourself, tell us when you book.

What cleaning won't fix

  • wear from very high mileage: worn seats and steering wheel, flattened seat foam, holes in the fabric;
  • fading, since all upholstery fades over time;
  • water damage: the fabric texture changes and the headliner glue fails;
  • fabric burnt by chemicals during an earlier cleaning.

We'll point these out during the inspection.

Dog and cat hair

After a dog or cat, a vacuum only picks up what sits on top. Hair has tiny scales on its surface that catch on the fabric loops, and static charge holds it in place as well. Airflow alone won't pull it out.

So we start by hand: rubber brushes and scrapers comb the pile and roll the hair into clumps, and a rubber squeegee does the boot carpet. Then the vacuum, and finally the extractor rinses out what is left, smell included. On Alcantara we use a soft brush, because hard rubbing flattens its fibres for good.

Hair removal is part of upholstery cleaning, and we quote after the inspection. Fine cat hair worked into velour doesn't always come out to the last strand: you get upholstery that looks clean at arm's length. If the car goes back to a leasing company, the Polish PZWLP return guide counts pet hair and smell in the boot that basic cleaning can't remove as damage.

Still smells? Ozone treatment

If the smell is in the upholstery, cleaning removes its source. An ozone treatment from 150 zł neutralises whatever is left in the cabin. How ozone works: car ozone treatment.

Questions & Answers

How much does car upholstery cleaning cost in Krakow?

Fabric upholstery cleaning costs from 600 zł, full interior cleaning with disassembly 1 500 zł. Leather cleaning is from 500 zł and ozone treatment from 150 zł. We give you the exact price after a free inspection.

How long does upholstery take to dry?

2 to 6 hours, depending on how deep the cleaning goes. The extractor pulls out most of the water straight away, and the rest evaporates.

Do you clean the headliner?

Yes, along with the seats, rear bench and floor mats. If the headliner has been flooded and the glue has already let go, cleaning won't fix that.

Do you clean leather interiors?

Yes, from 500 zł. We clean the leather first, then condition it so it stays soft and doesn't crack.

Will cleaning remove bad smells?

Yes, if the smell has soaked into the seats or mats: the extractor pulls it out of the fabric along with the dirt. If you can still smell something in the cabin afterwards, you can add an ozone treatment.

Do you remove dog hair from car seats?

Yes, as part of upholstery cleaning: rubber brushes and scrapers lift the hair out of the fabric, then we vacuum and use the extractor. We quote after a free inspection.
