Seat Shampoo & Extraction

  • Updated: June 30, 2025

Deep-Clean Your Car Seats — Remove Stains, Odors & Years of Buildup

Spills, sweat, pet hair, coffee, kids — over time, your car seats collect more than just dust. At RoamShine, our Seat Shampoo & Extraction Service goes deeper than a surface wipe. We use professional-grade fabric shampoos, steam, and hot water extraction to lift years of embedded dirt, grime, odors, and stains from your upholstery.

Whether you’re dealing with stains from a single spill or years of buildup, we’ll bring your seats back to life — right at your driveway or parking spot.

What Is Shampoo & Extraction?

This isn’t a quick vacuum or wet towel wipe-down.

Our process includes:

  1. Full vacuum of all seats and seams
  2. Pre-treatment of stains (coffee, soda, food, etc.)
  3. Hot water extraction using a commercial-grade extractor
  4. Fabric-safe shampoo and deodorizer
  5. Optional steam cleaning for added sanitation
  6. Final drying and inspection for any missed areas
We don’t over-soak or flood seats — every extraction is controlled for deep cleaning and safe dry times.

Ideal For:

  1. Food or drink spills
  2. Pet stains or odors
  3. Sweat, sunscreen, or body oil buildup
  4. Rideshare or fleet vehicles
  5. Leased cars or vehicles prepping for resale
  6. Parents with kids or anyone who eats in the car regularly

We service cloth, velour, and select microfiber materials. For leather or vinyl, we recommend steam and conditioning instead.

How Long Does It Take to Dry?

Most seats are dry in 2–5 hours depending on airflow, sunlight, and fabric type. We use fans and dry passes to speed things up — and you can drive your vehicle immediately after service if needed.

Mobile Service Across San Diego

We bring everything: water, power, extractor, and cleaning agents. You don’t need to supply anything or drop your car off.

Whether you're in Chula Vista, La Jolla, Clairemont, or El Cajon, we’ll come to you.

FAQs – Seat Shampoo & Extraction

Can you remove set-in stains?

We can remove or significantly reduce most stains. Some older or chemical-based stains (like bleach or ink) may leave faint traces.

Is this safe for baby car seats?

Yes — we avoid harsh chemicals and use fabric-safe, hypoallergenic cleaners. Let us know if you have infants, and we’ll use gentle solutions.

Do you clean back seats and third rows too?

Absolutely. Full vehicle upholstery can be cleaned — including third-row seats and armrests.

Will this eliminate odors?

Yes, most odors are removed with deep extraction. For extreme smoke or mildew, we may recommend an Ozone Treatment add-on.
