Cargo area, liner, seat backs and spare tire well — extracted and deodorized, not just vacuumed.
The trunk is where things leak. Grocery bags, a container of milk that tipped over, a bag of mulch from the garden center, wet beach gear, a dog crate, gym bags left through a hot week. Because the trunk is closed and out of sight, spills sit there far longer than they would anywhere else in the vehicle, and it is where the car's mystery smells usually originate.
It is also the part that gets skipped. Plenty of details stop at the rear seats. We treat the cargo area as a full section of the job, including the parts you have to lift up to reach.
If you lift the cargo floor and find standing water or a rust ring in the spare well, that is a leak, not a spill. On Long Island vehicles the usual suspects are a failed tail light gasket, a bad trunk seal, or a clogged drain. It matters because water sitting in a sealed well causes rust from the inside out and generates a mildew smell that will defeat every odor treatment applied elsewhere.
We dry it out and treat it, and we tell you what we found so you can get the source fixed. Cleaning without addressing that is temporary by definition.
Work vans and pickups carrying tools, sand, plaster dust and adhesives get a heavier version of this service, and it can be scheduled on a recurring basis so it never reaches the state it would otherwise reach. For dog owners, the cargo area is usually the primary problem zone rather than the cabin, and it is worth pairing with pet hair removal and an odor treatment as a single job.
We are based on Erick Ave in Hewlett, just off Broadway and a few minutes from the Hewlett LIRR station. Rug drop-offs and pickups are by appointment — call before you come by.
