Carpet cleaning
Carpet cleaning is the deep-extraction process used to lift embedded dirt, sand, and stains from car floor carpets, including the area under the floor mats.
What it means
Floor carpets accumulate the heaviest soil in any car interior. Sand from sandals, grit from shoes, drink spills, and the kind of dust that builds up over months between cleanings all settle into the carpet weave and the dense foam backing underneath. Surface vacuuming lifts only the loose stuff. Proper carpet cleaning uses extraction: a machine sprays water-shampoo solution into the carpet under pressure and immediately vacuums it back out, lifting embedded dirt with the returning fluid. Multiple passes may be needed for heavily soiled carpets. The work is straightforward in concept but the wetting-vs-drying balance matters: carpets that go too wet trap moisture in the underlying foam padding for days, which in Singapore humidity grows mould. Drying after extraction usually involves opening doors, running the AC on max heat (or in some cases using a dehumidifier), and sometimes leaving the car in a controlled space overnight.
Why it matters in Singapore
Singapore daily-driven cars accumulate carpet soil fast: tropical rain brings water and grit in on shoes, hawker-centre and food-court visits add the occasional drink spill, and HDB carpark dust adds to the rest. Quarterly or semi-annual carpet cleaning keeps the floor genuinely clean and prevents the slow musty smell that builds up in unmaintained interiors.
How Revol Carz handles this
Revol Carz uses extraction-based carpet cleaning with controlled wetting and proper drying for Singapore conditions, and pairs it with cabin filter inspection and AC drying-cycle on the same visit.
