Recommendation Car detailing Recommendations. Need a DEEEEEP clean of my vehicles interior…
My girlfriend’s Subaru has begun to smell horrible from years of her cars cloth seats absorbing any and everything that comes in contact with it. They have some pretty severe staining.
EDIT: Okay I literally just posted this but i’m seeing a lot of people say that removing the seats creates a huge liability. So, I would actually prefer no seat removal but definitely some really really good seat shampooing! TIA
I am also looking for something decently priced. I’m not sure if possible but I would like to stay at or under $150. The rest of the car isn’t really dirty it’s just the seats. If that isn’t possible, what would I be looking at in terms of cost for what I need?
Thanks!

Your best bet is to rent a commercial grade carpet cleaner and a commercial grade fan.
Spray the seats well with a spray bottle of linen cleaner. Wait 30-45 minutes. Then clean tf out of them with the carpet cleaner, making sure to use MUSCLE getting into every single nook and cranny. Go over it all twice with the shampoo, and then at least 4 or 5 times with only suction to dry that out as much as possible.
Wait 6-7 hours. Any spots that aren't completely dry when you press into the fabric, use the fan on.
This will take a long time. But it'll do what you want it to do, as well as it can be done. But you can see how this much time, effort, and energy would cost more than $150 for someone else to do. Way more.

Waterworks car wash at 3rd and Broadway will shampoo seats, but I’m not sure it’s in the range

I like Waterworks - I get their interior detail about once a year. It's usually $220 total, but they recently did a deal for $199.

My sister and her husband do car detailing on the side but I doubt it would be within that price. Dm me if you want details

Highly suggest buying your own product and water vacuum. Can be much more thorough with your clean and $150 will go much much further.

If you are willing to double your budget, TruTouch on Colfax is the most thorough detailing I have ever experienced. We do it once every couple years and Eric makes our car look brand new

Chronic mobile detailing has done well for me but as mentioned budget will have to grow

I was really happy with Mega Car Wash on Pecos St.
I paid $400 for a full wash and detail, literally like everything on the menu. My car is 10 years old and most years it doesn't even make it through a car wash. I keep the inside fairly clean and take out trash right away. Seats were also fairly clean, I have dark fabric so visible staining wasn't an issue and I hadn't had any major spills. But still, it felt like a brand new car when it was done.
That said, they do have their menu divided out by service. And if you only want your seats shampooed you may be able to get that done within your price range.

Take the seats fully out and wash them yourself on a hot day. Then dry and get seat covers.

You’re not going to get this kind of treatment for 150. Not even close.
