Professional vehicle-interior cleaning with a Purezza extractor must be divided into zones. Seats, carpet, door cards and headliner require different moisture levels. This guide is designed for detailing studios and mobile professionals in Moscow and across Russia.
Preparing the vehicle for extraction cleaning
Record wear, burns, damaged seams, old chemical marks and colour loss. Remove personal items and mats, then recover all loose soil. Sand must be vacuumed, brushed and blown out before liquid is introduced. Protect electronic controls, connectors, speakers and air ducts.
Seats, carpet and headliner need different modes
| Area | Main risk | Recommended approach |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric seats | Wet foam and stain return | Small sections, even flow and two vacuum-only passes |
| Floor carpet | Sand residue and trapped water | Dry-clean first; extract from remote areas towards the door |
| Door cards | Moisture in electronics and glue | Apply chemistry to the tool, lower flow and protect controls |
| Headliner | Fabric delamination | Only if approved; normally use a low-moisture manual method |
| Alcantara | Texture and pile change | Test, use minimal moisture and reset the pile after drying |
Never treat the headliner like floor carpet. If the material, adhesive or manufacturer instructions do not allow extraction, use an approved low-moisture manual process.
Correct Purezza extraction passes
- Apply pre-spray evenly and respect dwell time.
- Agitate with a suitable brush without damaging the textile.
- Hold the upholstery tool level and start vacuum before solution flow.
- Apply solution only while moving and overlap adjacent paths slightly.
- Make one or two vacuum-only passes in the same direction.
- Check seams and lower seat sections where moisture remains longer.
Siaflo or Aquatec for detailing?
| Criterion | Siaflo 9 bar | Aquatec 17 bar |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum and tanks | 360 mbar; 15/14 l | 360 mbar; 15/14 l |
| Product-card flow | 9 bar working pressure with a 0.15 jet | Set to 15 bar; 3.8 l/min |
| Typical choice | Regular vehicle interiors and mobile jobs | High vehicle volume and productive accessories |
Higher flow does not automatically mean a cleaner seat. Detailing depends on precise flow control, even movement and strong moisture recovery. Confirm the current package with U3DP Clean.
Drying the vehicle after cleaning
Open doors, provide safe ventilation and direct air along the textile. Do not use seat heaters to dry wet upholstery. Before handover, check lower seat areas, seams, carpet beneath mats and the luggage compartment.

Can the headliner be extraction-cleaned?
Only when the material and adhesive permit it. A low-moisture manual process is safer in many vehicles.
Must the seats be removed?
It depends on the task and vehicle design. Removal must follow manufacturer requirements for connectors and safety systems.
Why does a stain return?
Possible causes include soil in the foam, over-wetting, weak recovery or slow drying.
Which tool suits a vehicle?
A compact upholstery tool with visible recovery and flow control. Confirm jet and pump compatibility.
Can cleaning be performed during a Moscow winter?
Yes, with a warm workspace or controlled drying. Never hand over a vehicle with wet seats or carpet in freezing conditions.
