What a Full Interior Detail Includes (Winnipeg Version)

Interior detailing is one of the most misunderstood services in the car care world. Many Winnipeg drivers think an “interior detail” is just a vacuum and wipe-down — but a professional full interior detail goes WAY deeper and restores your cabin back to a clean, fresh, and hygienic condition.

In this guide, I’ll break down exactly what’s included in a full interior detail, why Winnipeg vehicles need it more often, and how it benefits your vehicle long-term.

Why Winnipeg Vehicles Need Interior Detailing More Often

Winnipeg’s climate is rough on interiors — especially in winter.

Here’s why:

✔ Road salt tracked in from your shoes

Salt dries into your carpets and leaves white stains.

✔ Slush + moisture

Snow melts inside the cabin and causes mildew if not cleaned.

✔ Dusty summers

Manitoba’s dry summer roads push dust into vents and fabrics.

✔ Extreme temperature swings

Hot → cold → hot cycles wear out leather and plastics.

✔ Families, pets, and daily commuting

More usage = more contamination.



Because of this, Winnipeg drivers typically need 2–4 interior details per year, depending on the vehicle and lifestyle.

What a Full Interior Detail Actually Includes (Lux Detailing Process)

Here is the real breakdown of what a professional full interior detail includes — not just a quick vacuum.

1. Full Vacuuming (Seats, Floors, Trunk)

We remove:

• Dirt
• Sand
• Salt
• Slush debris
• Pet hair

A proper vacuum is the foundation of a real detail.

2. Carpet & Floor Mat Shampoo / Extraction

This is the step most people skip — but it’s essential in Winnipeg.

We use:

• Fabric shampoo
• Hot water extraction
• Stain removal techniques

This fixes:

• Salt stains
• Spills
• Sticky spots
• Pet odours
• Coffee stains
• Mud and slush buildup

3. Deep Cleaning of Plastics, Vinyl, Consoles & Crevices

We use soft brushes, steam, and safe cleaners to clean:

• Door panels
• Dash
• Center console
• Cup holders
• Buttons
• Vents
• Trims
• Seat rails

This removes dust, bacteria, drink spills, and winter grime.

4. Steam Cleaning (High-Temperature Sanitization)

Steam helps:

• Kill bacteria
• Loosen grime
• Sanitize high-touch areas
• Lift dirt from tiny crevices
• Clean spills and sticky areas

Especially important after winter when moisture + salt = hidden contamination.

5. Leather Cleaning & Conditioning

If your vehicle has leather, we:

• Clean the pores
• Remove oils, stains, and sweat
• Condition to prevent cracking from cold Winnipeg winters

Proper leather care increases lifespan and keeps seats soft.

6. Fabric Seat Shampooing

Fabric seats get:

• Salt stains
• Water marks
• Food spills
• Sweat and body oils

We use shampoo and extraction to restore them properly.

7. Door Jamb Cleaning

Often forgotten, but essential — jambs collect:

• Grease
• Salt
• Slush
• Dirt
• Spilled washer fluid

A clean door jamb prevents rust and looks much better.

8. Interior Windows & Mirrors

We remove:

• Fog residue
• Fingerprints
• Film buildup
• Smoke haze (if applicable)

Clean glass = better visibility and a cleaner feel.

9. Odour Treatment (Optional Add-On)

We can add:

• Ozone treatment
• Deep extraction
• Fragrance of your choice

Perfect for:

• Pets
• Smoke
• Spills
• Moldy carpets

What’s Not Included in a Basic Interior Cleaning

A basic quick clean usually includes:

• Fast vacuum
• Light wipe-down
• Windows
• Mats shaken out

A full interior detail is MUCH deeper — it restores your interior, not just “tidies it up.”

How Long Does a Full Interior Detail Take?

At Lux Detailing, a full interior detail takes:

2–4 hours depending on:

• Level of dirt
• Pet hair
• Salt damage
• Size of the vehicle
• Fabric vs leather
• Stains and spills

We take our time to do it properly.

How Often Should You Get an Interior Detail in Winnipeg?

General rule:

✔ Daily drivers: Every 3–6 months

✔ Winter vehicles: Every 2–4 months

✔ Families with kids: Every 2–3 months

✔ Pet owners: Every 1–2 months

✔ Rideshare (Uber/Skip): Monthly

Winnipeg winters accelerate interior contamination due to salt, moisture, and dirt.
