When it comes to keeping your vehicle clean, there’s clean — and then there’s Detail Valets clean. One of the most effective ways we achieve that next level result is through professional steam cleaning, a process that not only refreshes your car’s interior and exterior surfaces but also sanitises them at the same time.
Steam cleaning has quickly become one of the most in-demand detailing methods across Manchester, and for good reason — it delivers deep, chemical free cleaning power that protects your vehicle and your health.
What Is Steam Cleaning in Car Detailing?
Steam cleaning uses high temperature vapour to break down dirt, grease, and bacteria from every nook and cranny of your vehicle. The steam is produced by specialised detailing machines that heat water to around 170–180°C, creating a powerful jet of vapour that lifts grime without harsh chemicals.
This makes it ideal for a wide range of detailing tasks:
Sanitising steering wheels, gear knobs, and door handles
Deep-cleaning leather, fabric, and carpets
Removing stubborn stains and odours
Cleaning vents, dashboards, and tight gaps regular tools can’t reach
Why Choose Steam Cleaning Over Traditional Methods?
Most car owners rely on traditional sprays, wipes, or vacuums to clean the interior. The problem is, those methods only clean what’s visible. Steam cleaning goes deeper — it kills up to 99.9% of bacteria and germs, removes allergens, and restores surfaces to a truly fresh condition.
Here’s why it stands out:
Eco-friendly: Uses minimal water and no harsh chemicals.
Safe for all surfaces: Perfect for both leather and fabric interiors.
Kills bacteria: Great for keeping your car hygienic, especially if you have kids or pets.
Removes odours: Steam penetrates deep into fibres, removing smells at the source rather than masking them.
Steam Cleaning for the Exterior Too
Steam isn’t just for interiors — it’s an incredible tool for engine bay cleaning or where high-pressure water might cause damage. It gently loosens grease and grime while being safe for sensitive components.
At Detail Valets Manchester, we use steam cleaning as part of my Deep Clean ensuring every inch of your car looks and feels refreshed, inside and out.
Healthier, Fresher, Longer-Lasting Clean
The average steering wheel can be dirtier than a public toilet seat — no joke! Oils, makeup, food residue, and sweat build up over time. Steam cleaning breaks down that contamination, leaving behind a clean, sanitised surface that feels like new.
Not only does it protect you from harmful bacteria, but it also helps preserve your materials, preventing premature wear and tear caused by grime build-up.
