Targeted Cleaning for Stains, Spills & Interior Eyesores — Done Right, Done On-Site

Life happens — and so do coffee spills, pet accidents, juice stains, food drops, and everything in between. If you’ve got fabric seats that just won’t come clean, RoamShine’s stain removal service can help restore your interior without replacing or reupholstering.

We come to you with the right tools, cleaners, and experience to lift stubborn stains from cloth upholstery and make your cabin look (and smell) better — all without harsh chemicals or over-soaking.

Common Stains We Remove

We’ve removed thousands of spots across San Diego — here are the most common we tackle:

  1. Coffee, soda, and energy drinks
  2. Food stains (sauces, ketchup, fries, milk)
  3. Grease and oil spots
  4. Pet stains and hair residue
  5. Ink or marker transfers
  6. Dirt, sweat, sunscreen, and body oils
  7. “Mystery stains” from kids, pets, or ride-share use

Some stains are set in, some are fresh — we assess each one before we start and give honest expectations.

Our Process

We don’t just spray and scrub — we use professional tools and fabric-safe chemistry to attack stains without damaging your seats:

  1. Spot inspection and pH matching
  2. Pre-treatment with targeted stain removers
  3. Agitation with upholstery brushes to break up residue
  4. Steam or hot water extraction to lift and flush the stain
  5. Fabric-safe deodorizer and dry passes to minimize moisture
We never use overly harsh cleaners, so your fabric stays soft and safe — not stiff or faded.

Best For:

  1. Family vehicles with snack spills and kid stains
  2. Cars used for rideshare (Uber, Lyft, Turo, etc.)
  3. Daily drivers exposed to sunscreen, sweat, or frequent food
  4. Pre-sale or lease return vehicles needing touch-up
  5. Anyone frustrated by stained, dingy seats that ruin an otherwise clean car

We clean standard cloth, velour, microfiber, and fabric-blend upholstery. For leather or vinyl, we use different tools and recommend a separate service.

Service Area & Setup

We’re mobile throughout San Diego County. Whether you're in Chula Vista, Mission Valley, Oceanside, or Poway, we’ll come to you with power, water, and equipment ready.

You just need to unlock the car and point us to the trouble spots — we’ll handle the rest.

FAQs – Fabric Stain Removal

Can you get out old stains?

We can significantly reduce or fully remove most stains, even years old. Some stains (like dye transfer or bleach damage) can’t be reversed but can still be improved.

How long does it take to dry?

Most seats are dry within 2–4 hours depending on ventilation, sun, and fabric thickness.

Will the stain come back later?

No — if fully extracted, the stain should not reappear. We do multiple dry passes to prevent wicking or “re-surfacing.”

Is it safe for baby/child car seats?

Yes — we use non-toxic, residue-free cleaners and can sanitize the seat safely without damaging buckles or labels.
