Mobile Car Valeting in Alvalade
The car that does the Alvalade school run is a particular kind of vehicle. It never travels far, it lives on the street under the trees along the avenues, and its back seat is an archaeological record of every snack eaten between here and the school gate. Biscuit crumbs in the seat runners, a juice carton wedged down the side, sand from a weekend at the beach, and two child seats bolted in that nobody has lifted out since they were fitted. We come to the street where the car is parked, in the bairro or over towards Roma, Areeiro or São João de Brito, and give it the clean it has been quietly needing.

About our service in Alvalade
Before we start there are two things we ask you to do, and both are about responsibility rather than convenience. The first is to take anything valuable out of the car: documents, electronics, sunglasses, loose change, anything in the glovebox you would not want handled. We work carefully and we put back what we move, but a valued item is safest in your hands, not ours. The second is child seats. We ask for them to be removed before we arrive, because underneath a child seat is exactly where the worst of the mess collects and it cannot be reached with the seat in place. What we will not do is refit a child seat afterwards. That is a deliberate policy and not us being awkward. How a seat is anchored, whether the Isofix legs are seated properly, how the top tether is routed, how the belt is tensioned through the guides, is a safety matter that belongs with the person responsible for the child. A seat that looks fitted but is not is worse than no seat at all, and it is not something a valeter should sign off on. Lift the seats out, let us clean underneath them, and put them back yourself. With the seats out and the cabin clear the job is straightforward. Everything is vacuumed before anything is wiped, mats come out and are done separately, the runners and the gap between the seat base and the console are worked over, and the boot is emptied and vacuumed properly rather than around the edges. Then the surfaces: dashboard, vents, door cards, plastics, inside glass and all the touch points that go grey with handling. Outside, a low-water wash lifts the street dust and the sap that the avenue trees drop all over the roof. No hose, no run-off, no puddle left behind on the pavement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequent questions from families in Alvalade:
Do I really have to take the child seats out myself?
Yes, and we ask the same of everyone. The mess that matters is directly underneath them, and it cannot be reached with a seat strapped in. Just as importantly, we do not put them back. Anchoring a child seat correctly is a safety responsibility that belongs to the parent, not to the person cleaning the car, and we will not take that on.
What should I clear out before you arrive?
Anything of value: paperwork, chargers, sunglasses, coins, anything personal in the glovebox or the door pockets. Also the obvious clutter in the boot, because a boot we can empty is a boot we can actually clean rather than tidy. Everything else, the crumbs, the wrappers and whatever is under the seats, you can leave to us.
Can you get sand out of the mats after a weekend at the beach?
Sand that is sitting on top comes out with a vacuum, but sand that has been ground into the pile by feet does not, and that is the sort we usually find. It needs extraction to pull it back up out of the weave. Tell us when you book that there has been beach sand in the car so we allow the right amount of time for it.
