To prepare for mobile car cleaning, three things are enough: an accessible parking spot, a clear interior and a phone number you’ll answer on the day. Albert Wash brings its own demineralized water, products, microfiber towels and a battery-powered vacuum: you don’t need to provide water or a power outlet, and you don’t need to pre-clean the car.
The 5-point checklist
- Park the car in an accessible, authorized spot.
- Leave enough room to open the doors and walk around the vehicle.
- Remove your personal belongings from the cabin and the trunk.
- Send photos if the car is very dirty, sandy or covered in pet hair.
- Give the actual address of the appointment and stay reachable when we arrive.
Choose the right spot
Leave room to open the doors and move around the car. At home, in a residential building, at a hotel or in a company parking lot, check that car cleaning is allowed.
- Underground space: give us the entrance, the level and the space number, and mention any access restrictions. A photo helps if the spot is tight.
- Outdoor parking: tell us whether it’s covered, so we can plan the visit around the weather.
Clear the cabin and the trunk
Seats and mats: remove personal items
Take out bags, papers and accessories left on the seats or the floor. That leaves the surfaces free for vacuuming, and your belongings stay with you. Point out any fragile equipment or areas to protect.
Trunk: free up the area to clean
If the trunk is part of your package, remove groceries, tools and anything else inside so the mats and corners are accessible. There’s no need to wash or vacuum the car before we arrive.
Send the useful photos
For embedded pet hair, a lot of sand or stains, send an overall view and then a close-up on WhatsApp. These pictures help us choose the package and estimate the working time. Any surcharge (starting at €20) is always agreed before we start, with your approval.
For the bodywork, mention mud, gritty deposits and special treatments such as a protective film or matte paint. Our guide to the waterless car wash explains how the condition of the vehicle determines the method.
What you don’t need to provide
- Water: Albert Wash brings about 1.5 L of demineralized water, along with the products and the microfiber towels.
- A power outlet: the vacuum runs on batteries. Albert Wash uses an Einhell Professional TP-VC 18/10 Li BL L 10 L, with a brushless motor and Power X-Change batteries.
- A pre-cleaning: you choose the location, we bring the rest.
What if it rains?
If conditions prevent a careful, safe outdoor service, Albert Wash contacts you to agree on a solution or reschedule. A covered parking spot is always the simplest option.
Confirm the last details
Enter the actual address of the appointment in your booking request, even if it differs from your home. We confirm the time by phone: stay reachable at the start of the appointment so we can get to the vehicle easily. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
The service is available in Nice, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Villeneuve-Loubet, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Antibes and Cannes. All that’s left is to choose between Express, Outside and Complete.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to provide water or a power outlet?

Where should I park my car?
In an accessible, authorized spot with enough room to move around the vehicle. If in doubt, contact us before booking.
Can you clean a car in a residential or company parking lot?
Yes, as long as car cleaning is allowed there. Since the method works without a hose or water supply, it fits these places; just check the rules of the site.
