Hey guys! I’m partnering with HomeRight today to show you one of the latest and greatest products in their AutoRight line of products! Yep, they can help you keep your vehicles looking their best, too! A couple of weeks ago, HomeRight sent me the new AutoRight Steam Machine to try out. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect! My husband opened the box and said “I’ve gotta say. I’m pretty excited about this.” Something you’ll get excited about is that HomeRight is letting me host a giveaway and one lucky reader will win their very own AutoRight Steam Machine! Make sure you make it to the very end of the post to enter.
Back in May, I bought a “new” vehicle. I say it that way, because it’s new to me. It’s a 2015 Suburban, and it only had 10,000 miles on it. It replaced my Ford Expedition that I owned for the past 11 years. Needless to say, I want to keep my luxury boat (as my husband calls it) looking as nice as possible for as long as possible. With two boys and two dogs, that is a bit of a challenge. Quick sidenote: Ever since I bought my slightly used Expedition 11 years ago, I vowed to never buy new again. It also was a year old, had just under 10,000 miles, and had every bell and whistle for $20,000 LESS than a brand new one! My Suburban was exactly the same case. I kept my eye out for that perfect deal, got EXACTLY what I wanted, and again spent $20,000 less than buying new! I’m still learning how to use all of the features in it, but that will come with time;) If you’ve got the time and patience, and love to save money, I highly recommend going this route when buying a vehicle.
I quickly discovered that no matter how hard I try (and threaten) to keep my boys from putting their feet on the seats or the doors, it’s not going to stay sparkling clean without regular care. Thankfully, the AutoRight Steam Machine lets me quickly and easily keep it clean without spending tons of money on multiple products and chemicals.
As you can see, nothing is safe from my boys and their dirty shoes or the fact that I let them on occasion have something besides water to drink.
Which had me feeling like this when I found the above carpet stains after only having the Suburban for maybe a month.
The steam machine comes with a ton of attachments. One of them being this handy carpet cleaner. It’s safe to use on carpets and also leather!
The back of the driver’s seat also had several shoe prints from my 8 year old. They came right off with just a few passes with the steamer. On top of the microfiber cover for the carpet attachment, the steam machine also comes with a microfiber rag to wipe down any areas after you’ve steamed them.
Now everything looks as good as new! Or rather, new to me:)
And here’s how the microfiber cover for the carpet attachment looked when I was done. Gross!
The steam machine comes with a ton of attachments that can be used for different cleaning applications on your vehicles. There’s soft brushes, medium brushes, wire brushes, a squeegee, a carpet attachment, and the crevice nozzle.
Believe or not, all of these things actually fit inside the machine!
The steam machine works great on the outside of your vehicle too. My husband used it to clean the wheels and I put a medium bristle brush on to clean the bug guts off of my grill. I can definitely see this coming in handy after long road trips where we seem to find every bug imaginable while on the road. By the way, this doesn’t just have to be used on your vehicles. You can use it in your home for chemical-free cleaning as well!

I have a number of pets that seem to have accidents inside my car and house. I also have a 10 year old car that I intend to drive until the wheels drop off! I could use this great invention all over the place! Thanks for the giveaway!
Farrah says
My boys have spilled milk, chocolate milk and juice in my backseat. And they wonder why there’s no eating or drinking in my car anymore.
Amy says
With 3 boys, both of our vehicles could use a good steaming!
Chessie says
oh man! I want one of these!
Jana says
Hey lady!! I’m super impressed with how that steamer worked for you. I could use one for my ‘boat’, too!
Addicted 2 DIY says
Haha! Yes, you definitely need one!
Lindsay Magdaleno says
This looks like a great tool!
LindaR says
I so need this! Not only have I spilled a large sweet tea in my car but I’m still getting glitter off the seats from the top my Mom wore to my son’s wedding a YEAR ago! Yikes! It’s like I was meant to read this today-I just looked at new cars this morning (mines 2008) but I’m going to start combing lots for newer used ones. Thanks!
Addicted 2 DIY says
Yes! It does sound like you need this! And I hope your search for a slightly used vehicle works out for you! If you aren’t needing a new vehicle right away, it definitely pays to search around and wait for that perfect deal.
Giselle says
Too bad the contest isn’t open to Canadians! I had a case of wine freeze and burst in my car! I don’t know what is sadder, the mess or the loss of wine! Probably the wine! Anyway, do you know if this machine is available in Canada!
Addicted 2 DIY says
Oh no! Yeah, I’d probably be mourning the loss of the wine! I’d need some to help me deal with the mess! I will check on whether or not it is available in Canada and get back with you on that:)
Darlene says
Once upon a time a box of crayons was left on the back window ledge in my car. Needless to say, they melted and ran out of the box and onto the carpeted surface. Steamers are great for so many things.
Addicted 2 DIY says
Oh no!!!! That is awful!
Cindy B says
The worst??? A smelly diaper explosion!
Kayla says
I seriously NEED this machine! The worst mess in my car was a motion sick puppy who not only barfed, but pooped on the carpet! Needless to say, it was bad.
Addicted 2 DIY says
Oh no! Yes, I can see that being horrible!

When I gave my neighbor and her dog had just had a run in with a skunk and her clothes and bags reeked of skunk and so did our car.
Karen Sweitzer says
This is very interesting. I am wondering if it really gives good results? I may need to get one of these!! This is the first that I have heard of this, so I will be doing some investigating. Thank you
Susan DeChant says
Never thought about using this to clean a car….great idea!
LindaR says
I NEED this! The seats and inside of my car are trashed (it’s a 2008). Sweet tea spills and crud in general! Would also try this on a few home disasters….
PS entered earlier but realized typo in email address 🙁
Connie Anderson says
Really could use this for my inside carpet as well as the car. Thanks for the info and I’ll cross my fingers that I win.
Addicted 2 DIY says
Thanks for entering, Connie! And yes, you can absolutely use it inside for those pesky spots. I’m going to use mine in my shower to help with the hard water stains;)
Regi says
Oh, yeah……I totally need this! Not just for my car, but for my hub’s truck as well. He takes one of our dogs everywhere with him, so it would definitely come in handy! Great giveaway!

Ice cream with chocolate syrup.

I once spilled half a container of laundry detergent in the back of my car. Luckily it was contained to the floor mat. I took it to the car wash to be sprayed, and rhere were a million bubbles!

In college one of my roommates spilled some orange juice in the backseat just before we left for spring break. That was NOT a pleasant aroma to return home to!

My worst mess involved a car-sick grandchild after a pizza party. It wasn’t pretty.
Patricia Fuentes @ HOme Cleaners says
Didi you tired to steam clean the luggage area? I often leave my dog there and it is always full with dog hair and slobber stains. I tried several different machines, but none of them had correct attachment.
Addicted 2 DIY says
It won’t help with the dog hair, but it will help with the slobber stains:)
