YOUR CAR — OUR CARE
Hair works down into the pile and the seat seams, which is why vacuuming never quite finishes the job.

Car carpet is a loop pile, and pet hair has a scale to it that catches in the loops. Once it is down in there, suction alone pulls against the whole carpet rather than the hair.
The seat seams are worse. Where the base meets the backrest there is a gap that a vacuum head cannot get into and a hand cannot reach, and hair collects there for years. Same with the runners under the seats, the belt anchors and the trunk liner edges.
So you vacuum, the car looks better, and a week later there is hair on your coat again. It was never gone. It came back up.
Lift it first. A rubber pet rake dragged across the pile pulls bedded hair up where a vacuum can take it. This is the step that does most of the work, and it is done by hand, panel by panel.
Blow out the seams. Compressed air into the seat seams, the runners and the vents pushes out what no head can reach, so it ends up on the carpet where it can be collected.
Five step vacuum. The same carpet worked repeatedly rather than once. Each pass brings up a layer the last one loosened.
Then by hand. Belt anchors, seat rails, the trunk liner edge. There is always a last part that is picked out rather than cleaned out.
Every hair gone from a cloth or carpet interior. On a car that has carried a dog for years we get the vast majority of it, and what is left is in places you would have to go looking for.
Leather and vinyl are different. There is nothing for hair to grip, so those come back close to spotless.
If your photos show a car that is going to be at the harder end of that, we will say so before you book rather than after we arrive.
The 2015 Ford C-Max on this page came to us in Brush Prairie with hair through the whole cabin and carpet dirt sitting in several distinct layers. Five hours, interior and exterior, and the carpets were most of it.
Because most of it is not sitting on the carpet. Hair works down into the pile and into the seams where the seat base meets the backrest, and it hooks into the fibres. A household vacuum pulls off the loose top layer, the car looks better for a day, and then the rest works its way back up.
In stages, and no single tool does all of it. A rubber pet rake drags the bedded hair up out of the pile. Compressed air lifts it out of seams and vents. Then a five step vacuum, working the same area repeatedly rather than once. What is left in the tight corners comes out by hand. It is slow, and that is the whole reason it costs what it does.
On carpet and cloth, no, and anyone who promises that is guessing. On a car with a lot of hair we get the vast majority of it, and what remains is in places you have to look for. Leather and vinyl come back closer to spotless because there is nothing for the hair to grip.
Usually. Where there is a dog there is dog smell, and it lives in the carpet and the headliner rather than in the air, so it needs treating at the source. Odor treatment and pet hair removal are both included in Premium, so they are normally done together.
Hair alone can add an hour or more on top of the interior work. The 2015 Ford C-Max on this page was five hours in total, and the carpets were most of that.
It is quoted on the car. Premium starts at $399 before sales tax and includes pet hair removal, stain treatment and odor treatment. On Basic and Standard it is quoted on the spot. Text photos of the worst areas to (360) 773-0694 and you get a number the same day.
