Car Steam Cleaning

Our eco-friendly steam cleaning service is one of the most effective ways to clean and sanitise your vehicle. It’s a powerful, eco-friendly, and chemical-free method that effectively removes dirt and grime, sanitizes surfaces, and can be used on various surfaces, including car interiors and exteriors.

Eco-Friendly and Chemical-Free

We use a high-end steam machine that cleans with only a small amount of water—just around 4 litres for a mid-sized car—making it an environmentally conscious choice. The steam lifts dirt and grime, deodorises, sanitises, and disinfects without leaving behind any foam, waste water, or chemicals. It’s safe for both cloth and leather seats, and perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.

Thorough Cleaning for Every Surface

From upholstery, carpets, and air vents to wheel wells, engine compartments, and even motorhome mattresses, our steam cleaning service can handle it all. We tackle every inch, leaving no corner untouched, while keeping your vehicle’s interior dry and spotless.

Benefits of Car Steam Cleaning

Effective Cleaning The heat and pressure of steam are perfect for breaking down dirt, grease, and stubborn stains, making it a highly effective cleaning method.
Sanitization Steam cleaning naturally kills bacteria, mould, and viruses, offering a hygienic, deep clean for your vehicle’s interior.
Eco-Friendly With minimal water usage and no wastewater runoff, steam cleaning is an environmentally conscious choice that’s gentle on the planet.
Versatile Cleaning Steam can tackle a wide range of surfaces—from car interiors, exteriors, and upholstery to those tricky hard-to-reach areas that other methods miss.
Chemical-Free Without harsh chemicals, steam cleaning provides a safer, healthier clean for both you and the environment.
Rejuvenates Wax Steam cleaning is gentle on your car’s clear-coat and can even help rejuvenate the wax, leaving your car looking fresh and shiny.

Odour Removal

We offer two car odour removal solutions: Air Purifying, using our advanced ozone technology to neutralise persistent smells in your car, and Airco-clean®, which eliminates bacteria and odours from your vehicle’s air conditioning system.

Air Purifier with Ozone

Our Ultrasonic Deodorizer with Ozone is designed to effectively remove and neutralise unwanted odours in vehicles, boats, containers, and many other spaces. It goes beyond masking smells—eliminating them at the molecular level for a long-lasting, fresh environment.

Neutralises Bad Smells The ozone treatment works through a chemical reaction that targets and neutralises odour molecules, completely removing unwanted smells.
Instant Odour Elimination Say goodbye to cigarette smoke, pet odour, body smells, food spills, mildew, damp, and more—our ozone purifier works instantly to remove even the toughest odours.
Long-Lasting Effect Using advanced molecular technology, our purifier doesn’t just mask odours—it neutralises them at the source for a long-lasting fresh environment.
Eliminates, Don’t Mask Unlike traditional deodorisers, our system eliminates the smell rather than simply covering it up, ensuring a truly fresh result.
Non-Toxic and Safe Water-based, non-toxic, and non-flammable, this ready-to-use deodoriser is safe for you and the environment
Leaves a Fresh Scent After eliminating odours, it leaves behind a subtle, refreshing perfume, not a heavy chemical smell.
Stain-Free Cleaning Our odour remover is safe on all surfaces. Perfect for removing smells from car upholstery and won’t leave any stains behind.

Airco-clean®

Our Airco Clean service is designed to eliminate harmful micro-organisms and odours from your vehicle’s air conditioning system. By cleaning the evaporator and air vents, we not only improve air quality but also ensure a fresher, healthier environment.

Eliminates Micro-Organisms Airco Clean effectively removes fungi, bacteria, mould, and mildew, ensuring a cleaner and healthier air conditioning system.
Removes Pollen and Tobacco Residues It clears out pollen and tobacco residues, leaving your vehicle’s air fresher and cleaner.
Eliminates Unpleasant Odours Our Airco Clean service eliminates a wide range of unpleasant odours, including stale air and lingering smells in your vehicle.
Prevents Allergic Reactions By removing allergens from the air, it helps prevent allergic reactions and promotes better air quality.
Cleans the Air-Conditioning Evaporator It removes built-up dirt from the air-conditioning evaporator, improving system performance and air flow.
Perfect for Reconditioning Used Vehicles When reconditioning used vehicles, the Airco Clean service ensures a fresh and clean-smelling interior environment.

I highly recommend the AutoSteam. I recently opted for the Gold Package from AutoSteam and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The quality of the service was top-notch, and my vehicle is coming out looking brand new! Every detail was meticulously handled, leaving my car sparkling inside and out.

What made the experience even better was the friendly and helpful staff. From the moment I arrived, they were welcoming and professional, ensuring that all my concerns were addressed. They went above and beyond to provide exceptional service, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free.

I highly recommend the Gold Package for anyone looking for premium car care. The attention to detail and the customer service exceeded my expectations!

I paid for the gold package to have my car cleaned and prepared for sale. I was blown away by the results - the car came back to me like new! I’d had a small child making a mess in it for 5 years, but after the cleaning, it was like it had just come out of the showroom. Superb results - I sold the car for more than I was expecting. Highly recommend Peter and his team!

My car was a disgrace, the interior was covered in dog hair and dog slobber, and the exterior hadn't seen a car wash for a long time. I had previously taken it to another car cleaner, and he couldn't remove any of the hair, so I didn't have high expectations. But I couldn't believe it when I picked up my car, an amazing job, so so happy, and dog hair all gone. The exterior looked like new again. Steve and his team are so helpful and pleasant, I would highly recommend Auto Steam.

My car had a lot of water damage over time, plenty of mould and desperately needed a deep clean! Everything was pulled apart and cleaned to a high standard, the before and afters are crazy different! Thank you for the great work, highly recommend and at a great price

Had my interior cleaned completely. Within a day, they were able to remove big stains in the chairs and had the car delivered back to me like new! Great service, good eye for the individual, very friendly and trustworthy!

Just Allebes read this review on Google

I picked my car up from Peter and his team today, and I am blown away by how clean it is! I never thought I would see my car this tidy ever again! It was covered in dog fur, sand and dirt and on top of that, my parents’ cat had urinated in the car the day before I dropped it off, which meant it smelled absolutely putrid! The team turned my car from a disgusting, smelly mess into a clean, fresh and sanitary vehicle. I will definitely be going back in the future and recommending them to everyone, it was worth every cent!

I dropped off a very dirty work car with dog hair, sand and paint. They did an amazing job and my car looked like new when I picked it up. I can recommend this company without any hesitation!
