Minivan detailing for busy families

Minivans carry the whole family and everything they bring. We reset yours in the driveway while you get on with the day.

Minivan detailing at home in Palo Alto

Minivan detailing is mostly about the places you cannot get to between school runs. Our mobile team comes to your home in Palo Alto or elsewhere on the Peninsula and works through each row by hand, then washes the outside.

You do not have to be home. Leave the van unlocked or the keys where we agreed, and take out anything valuable.

Sliding doors and their tracks

The lower track of a sliding door fills with sand, leaves and crumbs that can make the door feel gritty. We vacuum and wipe the track, the sill plate and the step, then clean the door panel and the pocket.

Power door switches and pull handles get a gentle wipe too, since small hands touch them all day.

Rear climate vents and the overhead console collect dust that is easy to overlook, so we get those too.

Car seat zones and rear rows

The area under and behind a child seat hides more than anywhere else in the van. If the seats are out when we arrive, we can clean the cushions and the floor beneath. If they stay in, we clean the seat shell and around the base as far as we can reach.

Stow-away seat wells, cupholders and the back of the front seats are on our list as well. Fabric seats get a careful vacuum and spot work on drips and smudges.

  • Car seat shells and the space beneath them
  • Cupholders and armrest bins
  • Seat-back pockets
  • Stow-away wells and the cargo floor

Which package fits

For a van that gets used every day, the Full Detail handles inside and outside in one visit. If you want a deeper whole-car reset after a long season of kid life, our family car reset page explains what that looks like. Heavy stains, set-in spills or lots of pet hair are quoted after photos for Elite Restoration.

The package we suggest

Full Detail. Prices depend on the car and its condition, so we text you an exact price before anything is booked. Not sure? Text a photo and we will suggest one.

Questions

Should I take the car seats out before you come?
It helps if you want the area under them cleaned. You can also leave them in and we clean around them.
Can you get rid of old juice stains?
We work on stains and many lift. Some set-in stains only fade. For heavy staining we quote Elite Restoration after photos.
Where do you work on the van?
In your driveway, at the curb where parking allows, or in your garage with waterless or rinseless methods. We always need a standard outlet near the van.
Do you clean the sliding door tracks in every interior detail?
Yes, the tracks and sills are part of our interior clean.
Can I set up regular minivan cleanings?
Yes. NOVA Monthly holds a recurring slot monthly or every two weeks, and you can skip, move or cancel by text.
