video from A&A Professional Services discusses the benefits of using the Harbor Freight steam cleaner for car interior detailing (0:04). It highlights the steam cleaner as an affordable option for DIY car interior detailing, particularly for general cleaning, sanitizing, and stain removal (0:15-0:24).

The key benefits of using the Harbor Freight steamer include:
• Effective cleaning and sanitation: The high-temperature steam cuts through grease, grime, and dirt while killing bacteria, germs, and allergens on most surfaces, including steering wheels, dashboards, vents, and consoles (0:28-0:44).
• Odor elimination: It helps eliminate tough smells from pets and smoke by killing odor-causing bacteria, rather than just masking them (0:45-0:53).
• Safe on various surfaces: When used correctly, its low moisture vapor is safe for fabric upholstery, carpets, and even leather (0:55-1:03).
• Chemical-free process: It only uses water, making it ideal for car interiors to avoid chemical residue fumes and is safer for pets (1:04-1:14).
• Stain and grime removal: The steam pressure and heat loosen tough, cooked-on dirt and sticky residue in hard-to-reach areas like cup holders, door jambs, and crevices (1:14-1:27).
• Fast drying time: Compared to shampooing, steam cleaning leaves upholstery and carpets only lightly damp, significantly reducing drying time and the risk of mold and mildew (1:29-1:41).
• Cost-effective: Priced around $120-$150, it offers professional-level results for personal use and is great for DIYers or those starting a mobile detailing business (1:42-2:22).
