Clean vs Sanitary

[SANTA3013]

I am retired from full time work so I detail part time from my shop. Because this is not a full time business I have never felt the need to invest in steam cleaners/extractors, at least not until I detailed the interior of this '02 Focus. The car belongs to my mechanic who took it in on trade and is going to sell it. (As a side note, I usually don't clean under the rear seat).

I used what I had available which was my HF machine with Aqua soft carpet brush and Megs APC. I guess I'm wondering now if I cleaned it, as it appears, or did I push the filth down into the material? I cleaned the seats, carpet and mats using the same process. It looked mostly clean but is it sanitary? Or should it be a concern? I did wear protective gear, mask, gloves.

That has to be fake, or did they live in a landfill. there is not enough money for that.

It's pictures like that which make me wonder where the stereotype that girls are cleaner came from. That has makeup and hair ties... Just gross. But did we try that credit card?

That is over ten years of junk under the seat

Is that a credit card at the top of the 2nd picture?

Good eye to see the cc. Valid until 2017. I'll be turning it over to the bank Monday.

Sanitary is a whole level above clean. So unless you are using steam or a chemical that says it sanitizes, its just clean.

The nastiest thing has to be all those flossing tools. Lucky rats didn't find a home there

How much change $ was under there?

If there was none, it means someone picked the that junk to get the coins and was too lazy to remove the trash at the same time

There were some coins but I did not count to see how much.

I did a car with a rear seat like that once. I ended up taking the seat out of the car and literally hosing it down with APC and the garden hose to wash all the crud out of it. I did that first and it was a nice hot day so I stood the seat up on its end and let the water drain out of the foam. By the time I was done with the rest of the car, the seat was mostly dry and I only had a little water to suction out.

BTW, the rear seatbelts in the car were so bad, I had to soak them in a bucket full of hot water and OXY Clean for over an hour.
