The Problem

A large family in downtown Apex relied on their Chevrolet Suburban as the sole vehicle for six people — two adults and four kids ranging from toddler to teenager. The third row was the teenagers' domain and had accumulated energy drink spills, gum stuck to the seat fabric, and earphone cables tangled around the headrest posts. The second row belonged to the younger kids and showed it — car seat indentations, dried mac and cheese in the seat creases, and a blue slushie stain that had spread across the center seat and onto the carpet below. The front row had fared better but still had its share of issues — the driver's leather seat was cracked along the bolster from years of entry and exit, the passenger footwell had a permanent ring from a potted plant that rode to a school fundraiser and leaked soil and water, and the dashboard had a sticky film from a spilled hand sanitizer bottle that the family had tried to wipe up but only spread around. The vehicle smelled like a mix of old food and sweet artificial flavoring from the energy drinks, and every surface needed attention.

Our Process

• Full three-row debris cleanout including gum removal from third-row fabric
• Car seat removal and trapped food extraction from second-row seat creases
• Blue slushie stain treatment with color-safe extraction cleaner on center seat and carpet
• Energy drink spill cleaning and sticky residue removal from third-row surfaces
• Driver's seat leather crack conditioning treatment to soften and minimize appearance
• Passenger footwell plant soil and water ring stain extraction
• Dashboard sanitizer residue removal and UV protectant application
• Full hot water extraction across all three rows of carpet and all cloth seats
• Leather cleaning and conditioning on first-row seats and steering wheel
• All cup holders, door pockets, and storage compartments deep cleaned
• Interior glass cleaning on all windows across three rows
• Cabin deodorizing treatment for food and drink odor

The Results

Every row of the Suburban was thoroughly restored. The gum was removed from the third-row fabric without damage, the energy drink stickiness was cleaned from every surface, and the blue slushie stain was fully extracted with no trace left on the seat or carpet. The mac and cheese was cleared from the second-row creases, and the area under the car seats was debris-free. The driver's seat cracks were conditioned and softened, the plant stain was extracted from the passenger footwell, and the dashboard was clean and protected after the sanitizer film was removed. The entire cabin smelled neutral and clean. For large families in the Apex area, a vehicle this size accumulates mess at an accelerated rate — every row has its own story.
