Why Imperial
Professional carpet cleaning in San Diego, done the careful way
Most “carpet cleaning” leaves soap behind. Sticky residue attracts new dirt, and within weeks the traffic lanes are back. We do it differently.
Every job starts with an inspection and pre-vacuum of the heavy areas, then a pre-treatment matched to what’s actually in your carpet — body oils in the hallway, pet accidents in the bedroom, sand by the patio door. Our residential steam carpet cleaning uses truck-mounted hot-water extraction to rinse and pull that soil out, and a zero-residue rinse means your carpet stays cleaner, longer.
San Diego homes are hard on flooring in their own ways: beach sand and salt air on the coast, Santa Ana dust and red clay inland, and pets everywhere. We’ve been cleaning in all of it since 2006, from La Jolla and Coronado to Escondido and Chula Vista.
- Zero residue — no sticky soap left to attract dirt.
- Eco-friendly — non-toxic solutions, safe for kids and pets.
- Quick drying — usually 3 to 6 hours.
- Honest pricing — published prices and no hidden fees.
- Easy scheduling — Monday to Saturday, same-day when available.
How it works
Carpet cleaning in four simple steps
- Inspect & pre-vacuumWe check fiber type, traffic lanes and spots, then dry-soil the heavy areas.
- Pre-treatTraffic lanes, spots and pet areas get the right pre-spray for each soil.
- Hot-water extractionTruck-mounted extraction rinses and pulls the soil out — no sticky residue left.
- Groom & dryWe groom the pile and set it up to dry in about 3–6 hours.

Rachel Lipsitza month ago
I had a great experience with Imperial Carpet Cleaning! From the beginning, they were incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating. They were able to fit me in quickly for an estimate, gave me a very fair price, and then scheduled the cleaning soon after in a way that worked perfectly with my schedule. They did a fantastic job cleaning my LVP floors and two couches, and everything looks so much better! I really appreciated how easy and pleasant the entire process was. Great service, great communication, fair pricing, and excellent results. I would absolutely recommend Imperial Carpet Cleaning!

Exceptional experience with Imperial Carpet Cleaning! They did a fantastic job cleaning our carpets and sectional. I especially appreciated the extra care they took to protect our home. They laid down protective mats to keep our floors clean and prevent any damage, and put up barriers to protect our walls from the hoses. The scheduling and communication were just as impressive. I called yesterday afternoon, and they were at our home by 10 AM this morning! I also received a text letting me know they were on their way. From start to finish, everything was professional, prompt, and seamless. It’s not often you find a company that takes this much pride in their work and cares about your home. Nothing but a great experience. I highly recommend Imperial Carpet Cleaning!

How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?
Most carpets are dry in 3 to 6 hours. Drying depends on humidity, airflow and carpet thickness — opening windows and running fans or the A/C speeds it up. You can walk on the carpet right away in clean socks.
