We have used Imperial Carpet Care service several times throughout the years and they did a great job this time as always. The communication was easy and the service team was very professional. They helped removed some pet and coffee stains that have been there for a couple of years too. Highly recommend and would definitely hire again!
Read on Google βUpholstery Cleaning in Del Mar, CA
Fabric-specific cleaning for sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans and mattresses β synthetic or natural fibers.
- Sofas from $129
- Kid & pet safe
- About 25 minutes from our shop
Upholstery cleaning in Del Mar often runs on a guest calendar. Beach cottages in Olde Del Mar and bluff-top homes near the Beach Colony are frequently rented by the week, and a living-room sofa can see more bodies, sunscreen and wet swimsuits in one summer than a typical couch sees in a year. We help owners and property managers get sofas, sleeper sofas, dining chairs and accent chairs guest-ready between check-out and check-in. Our crew drives up from Point Loma in about 25 minutes, reads each fabric code before cleaning and uses kid- and pet-safe solutions that leave no sticky residue behind. Owners who are out of town can arrange access through a property manager, and we report back on each piece when the job is done.
Whatβs included in our upholstery cleaning service
- Fabric code and fiber test before cleaning
- Dry soil removal and cushion vacuuming
- Spot, body-oil and pet-stain pre-treatment
- Low-moisture or hot-water rinse matched to the fabric
- Deodorizing on request
- Fast-dry finish so you can use it the same day
Between Guests: Del Mar Upholstery Cleaning on a Tight Schedule
The busiest weeks in Del Mar are also the hardest on furniture. When racing season and the fair bring crowds, rentals turn over fast and there is little time to deal with a stained cushion before the next family arrives. The most common problems we see are sunscreen and tanning oil rubbed into sofa arms, damp swimsuit marks on seat cushions, spilled drinks on dining chairs and sand ground into every seam. Sunscreen is especially tricky because it is oil-based; it grabs dirt and shows up as grey patches that ordinary spot cleaners smear rather than remove. We pre-treat those areas for body oils before the main cleaning.
Sleeper sofas deserve their own note. Guests use the thin mattress inside and the sofa above it, so both need attention. We clean the sofa itself and can evaluate the sleeper mattress at the same visit. Slipcovered furniture, popular in beach cottages, is another Del Mar staple; some slipcovers are safe to launder at home and others shrink badly, and we can clean them in place when the label or fiber test says that is the safer choice.
Coastal humidity in Del Mar Terrace and near Crest Canyon slows drying slightly, so we plan cleaning around your turnover window and set cushions up for airflow before we leave. Prices are published, which helps with budgeting: a loveseat is $99, a sofa $129, and dining chairs start at $9 each. Owners who manage several units often book on a recurring schedule so every property stays consistent.
At the end of each visit we note any stain that only lightened, so you know what to mention to guests or to replace before the next booking. Payment by cash, credit card, Venmo or Zelle keeps the paperwork simple for owners who manage from a distance.

Protecting Rental Furniture in Del Mar Beach Homes
- Leave a basket of beach towels by the door and a note asking guests to rinse off sand before sitting on upholstered furniture.
- Choose washable throws for sofa arms in rentals; they catch sunscreen and body oil that would otherwise soak into the fabric.
- Photograph furniture at check-out so any new stain can be treated right away, before the next guests arrive and it sets.
- Schedule a full upholstery cleaning before the summer season starts and again after it ends, with spot visits between busy weeks.

Upholstery Cleaning in Del Mar: FAQs
Can you clean a Del Mar rental sofa between same-day check-out and check-in?
Often, yes, if the timing allows a few hours for drying. Tell us your check-out and check-in times and the fabrics involved. Low-moisture methods dry faster, and we set up cushions for airflow before we leave. Same-day or next-day appointments are available when our schedule permits.
How do you remove sunscreen stains from upholstery?
Sunscreen and tanning oils are oil-based, so we pre-treat them with a product made to break down body oils before the main cleaning and rinse. Fresh marks usually lift well. Older ones that have oxidized or picked up dye from clothing may lighten rather than disappear, and we will tell you which is likely.
Do you clean sleeper sofa mattresses?
We clean the sofa and can evaluate the sleeper mattress during the same visit. Mattress cleaning starts at $149 and must be evaluated first, since the goal is to treat surface stains and sweat marks while keeping moisture out of the core.
Should I wash beach cottage slipcovers or have them cleaned?
It depends on the fiber and label. Some cotton slipcovers wash well at home; linen and blends can shrink so they no longer fit. If the label is missing or unclear, we can test the fabric and clean it in place so the fit is not put at risk.
