Biological Car Cleaning: When is it Necessary? 

In addition to cleaning the exterior of your car, you should also pay the same attention to the interior. 
There are two types of cleaning: regular and biological cleaning. 
By choosing biological cleaning, you eliminate the dust mites that accumulate in the vehicle’s cabin, and this applies to both private individuals and professionals who own any type of vehicle. 
For better results, it is recommended that cleaning be done approximately every 2 months. 

What is Biological Car Cleaning? 

It is a deep cleaning process for the car’s interior, which removes all liquid and solid debris from the surfaces of the seats. 
The difference between this and regular cleaning lies in the fact that specialized equipment and cleaning products are used, aiming not only at cleaning the surfaces but also at better penetration and removal of all bacteria. 
The specialized professional machine used is a combination of a vacuum cleaner and a washer that sprays the appropriate detergent onto the seats. 

Why is Biological Car Cleaning Necessary? 

When we choose to clean the interior of our vehicle ourselves, we usually use basic vacuums, dashboard polishers, and air fresheners, which clean only the surface and do not penetrate deeply. 
Bacteria and dust mites penetrate the fabric fibers, which is why biological cleaning provides the ideal solution, ensuring their thorough removal. 

Biological Cleaning Technique 

The steps followed by specialists are as follows: 
A. First, all dust is removed by dusting and vacuuming the seats and surfaces. 
Dust removal in the air vents of the air conditioning system is done using a compressed air machine and with particular care, as the nozzle under air pressure should not come into contact with any sensitive area to avoid damage. 
B. Next, the special disinfectant is sprayed onto the surfaces and seats, while for more difficult and detailed areas like air vents, switches, and handles, the disinfectant is applied with sponges and brushes. 
C. The final step in completing the cleaning process is the vacuuming of all remaining debris. Using the appropriate machine, both liquid and solid stains are removed and collected in a special container of the device. 

How Long Does Biological Cleaning Take? 

The biological cleaning process for a car with fabric seats usually lasts from 2 to 4 hours. For vehicles with leather seats, the cleaning time is shorter. 
After cleaning, the car should be left with its windows open for a few hours to allow the interior to dry. 

What Are the Prices for Biological Cleaning? 

A quick search reveals that the prices range from approximately 35 to 80 euros, depending on the workshop or car wash you choose. 

Do Leather Seats Get Affected? 

If you have a vehicle with leather seats, there is no need to worry about damage. The cleaning is easy and quick, as leather does not absorb as many microorganisms and stains as fabrics do. 
In this case, the spraying step is skipped, and the disinfectant is gently applied with a sponge, while the drying is done with a cloth. 
To extend the lifespan of the leather surfaces, a wax is applied to the entire surface at the end. 

It is recommended to avoid cleaning your car at home and trust the professionals for the desired result. Without the use of professional machines and disinfectants, damage and wear can occur to your car’s interior, moisture can accumulate, and eventually, mold may form inside.
