Bro, your cockpit smells like sambal stingray!”
That cheeky jab from my buddy forced a hard truth on me: most Singaporeans think a five-minute vacuum is “good enough.” Spoiler—it isn’t. Humidity, air-con condensation, hawker crumbs, and late-night Grab runs create a five-star buffet for bacteria.
This guide breaks down how a proper interior detail works, what it really costs in SGD, and why it matters for comfort, health andresale value—complete with before-after photos from the EasyCleanSG workshop so your client can judge with their own eyes.

1️⃣ Why Singapore Cars Turn Into Germ Condos
Humidity + Air-Con = Mould Paradise 🍄
Island-wide humidity hovers around 84 %. When you blast ice-cold air-con onto sweaty seats, condensation seeps into carpets and vents—mould spores shout “Shiok!” and throw a rave.
“Eat First, Clean Later” 🍔
A 2024 Statista study found 63 % of SG drivers snack behind the wheel. Kaya-toast crumbs slide between seat rails, greasy fingerprints smear steering wheels, sambal stains bake into fabric.
Kids, Pets & Grab Life 👶🐶🚕
Parents juggle child seats and pet fur; ride-hail drivers collect bubble-tea spills at 2 a.m. A quick vacuum delays disaster, but every 90 days you need a steam-and-extract reset—otherwise that kopi spill morphs into a science experiment.
