Auto Interior Cleaning & Odour Removal
Spilled milk. Wet carpets. Pet accidents. Mould. Smoke smells. Flood damage.
At Sky Automotive, we specialise in cleaning and restoring vehicle interiors after the kinds of mishaps most people don’t know how to deal with properly.
These problems often go deeper than the surface. Smells soak into carpets, underlay, seats, insulation and ventilation systems. Standard cleaning products usually don’t remove the source of the issue.
A bad smell, moisture contamination, mould growth or improper cleaning can dramatically affect the value of a vehicle. In many cases, lingering odours or hidden contamination can reduce buyer confidence, impact resale value and lead to long-term interior deterioration if not treated correctly.
We provide deep interior cleaning, odour removal and interior restoration for vehicles across Nelson and the surrounding region.

Car Odour Removal
If your car smells bad and the smell won’t leave, there’s usually contamination trapped beneath the surface.
We help remove:
- Sour milk smells
- Pet odours
- Vomit smells
- Smoke smells
- Damp and mould smells
- Food and liquid spill odours
Our process may include deep extraction cleaning, steam treatment, moisture removal and interior sanitisation depending on the condition of the vehicle.
Water Damage & Flooded Interiors
Water damage inside a car can quickly turn into mould, damp smells and hidden contamination if not treated properly.
If your carpets are soaked, your vehicle has leaked, or the interior has been flooded, we can assess the damage and carry out deep interior cleaning and drying.
We also help with mould removal for car interiors and mouldy car seats.
Insurance Interior Cleaning
Many people don’t realise that interior damage and contamination may be claimable through insurance, depending on the situation and policy.
This can include:
- Flooded interiors
- Liquid spills
- Interior contamination
- Biohazard cleaning
- Water damage
- Severe odour issues
- We can provide:
- Insurance quotes

- Detailed cleaning descriptions for claims
If you’re unsure whether your situation may qualify, we’re happy to talk you through it.
Interior Cleaning That Goes Beyond a Standard Detail
This isn’t just a quick wipe-down or surface clean.
Our interior restoration services are designed for situations where:
- the smell keeps returning,
- the carpets are contaminated,
- mould has started forming,
- or the vehicle needs a proper reset.
We take a practical, no-judgement approach and focus on getting the vehicle clean, fresh and usable again.
