Great experience with Trevin today. He answered all my questions. He provided an accurate bid. He exceeded my expectations. My living room looks amazing and there is no residual chemical odor.
Nick is attentive and professional. He went the extra mile, I would say. I recommend him!
George is the man! Complete expert on what he is doing and my couches look brand new. Would hire these guys again without hesitation
Great service. Very happy with results.
Great service. Carpet, Tile and Sofa look great.
Taro is great! He takes extra effort with caring for my rugs and carpets and now my sofas! ! He’s careful when inside my home and is so pleasant to work with. He even made sure my dog was secured when the front door had to remain open. He’s the best!
George did an amazing job cleaning my carpet, area rug and sofa. My worn down carpet looks like new!
We’ve worked with Socal Steamers several times to clean the sofa at our Airbnb property, and every experience has been fantastic. George was incredibly professional, communicated great throughout the entire process, arrived right on time, and did an amazing job. The sofa looks brand new! Highly recommend George and…
George was great! The carpets and couch look like new!!! Highly recommend
We have been using them for years and they always do a great job!
By a long way, the best carpet and upholstery service in town. I would not call anyone else. Their work is impeccable and fairly priced.
Trevon was very professional and did an excellent job on my (2) couches and several pillows.
Highly recommended. James is exceptional! Courteous and knowledgeable, he always gets the worst stains out of my carpet. Kudos and Thanks to James!
After years of going with the same company, we took a chance on SoCal Steam clean, and they are now our new company of choice. Taro was on time, friendly and did an excellent job..
Kind of embarrassed to be sharing how terrible our couch looked before but I was extremely impressed with the work George did! He was professional, informative, cleanly and friendly. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Please note these are BEFORE and after photos if it’s not already obvious.
We needed our 7 year old couch cleaned. We Received an appointment quickly. (I called at 4pm and was able to get an appointment the next day) Communication was great through phone and text. Our technician George arrived within the time frame we were given( I really appreciate that) George prepared the floors with…
I had excellent service. They were on time, let me know an exact time they’d arrive. Confirmed they were on their way. Very personable, and my couch and chairs look brand new again! I would highly recommend their services.
George was perfect. No issues and work was flawless.
Fantastic cleaning job by James. We couldn't asked for anything better.
Very pleased with the results, Taro was rich in time and communicate clearly how he will proceed with the cleaning. He did a fantastic job getting some stubborn stains out of our couch. He is professional, courteous and meticulous. Highly recommend SoCal Steam Clean Inc and particularly Taro!
My couch and carpet look completely brand new. I am so happy with the service. I would highly recommend to anybody. Extremely professional and fast service.
Excellent service. Trevin took the time to explain the details of the job, his work was efficient and the results are fabulous!
OMG!! What a pleasure working with these folks! Scheduling was SUPER quick and easy. And Trevin did such a fabulous job cleaning our couch and carpeted stairs. Thank you!!
I love this company, they are so reliable and they work with you. George helped us out on 2 occasions, he’s punctual and helpful. And very trustworthy, as we are able to go out of town, he is welcomed into our home to get the job done. Thank you So Cal steamers and thank you George for your incredible service.…
We have been customers of SoCal Steam Clean & Carpet Cleaning since 2020 and have stayed with them since. It's super easy to book an appointment with them since they already have a record of all our rooms/upholsteries that they have serviced in the past. I love that they offer a 10% discount for returning…
Taro did an amazingly good job cleaning our carpet and chairs. We are extremely happy he came to our house today. It’s a pleasure having Taro come to our house.
George was great to work with! We have some fabric that is difficult to clean, and he found a solution to clean one of our headboards/bed frames. I would highly recommend Socal Steam, and I will be requesting George in the future. We had two headboard/bed frames that were cleaned and a large sectional sofa. All…
Easy to book and great experience with scheduler Christine and our cleaning pro Taro was prompt, efficient, thorough and friendly. For the price, we feel like our 10 yr old furniture looks new again. So worth it and keeping them on speed dial.
George came out to steam clean my white sectional, and he did an incredible job. Keeping a white couch looking bright is a challenge, but George was meticulous and really took his time with making sure every spot was handled. It almost looks brand new again! If you’re in the Chula Vista anrea and need someone…
Booked on the weekend for a Monday appointment. George gave me updates on when he would arrive, showed up on time and was very professional. He completed the job on time and was flexible around my work schedule. Easy and done! Thank you.
Excellent. Couch literally looks like new, carpet too. Plus my service technician was kind, friendly, and offered helpful tips for maintenance. 10/10 would recommend. Great pricing, too.
Trevin did an OUTSTANDING JOB cleaning my sofa. Had a competitor come in before (on coupon) terrible job. Socal came in removed the residue from previous cleaning & had it looking near new. NO COMPARISON
On time, great communication, carpet looked amazing - and the dirt removed from the dining chairs was crazy! Highly recommend! Used them a few years ago also, and now remember why. Won't use anyone else! George was awesome!
Our experience, start to finish, was extremely positive. Phone contact, estimate and job were all very clear in cost, timing and communication. We're very pleased with the outcome of our cleaning service. The technician, George, who did both the initial estimate as well as the actual cleaning, was very polite,…
We had George come out to clean a large sectional. He offered to do a spot clean to show me what I could expect before committing to the full cleaning, which I really appreciated. The fabric came out significantly cleaner but did not get 100% of the pet and food stains that had accumulated over an embarrassing…
Thank you George for the amazing ! You are great hands if he is the one helping you!! My sectional looks new again !!
Trevin does a really thorough job and removed tons of pet stains and made the carpets look brand new. He works very efficiently and quickly. Definitely recommend!
SoCal Steam Clean did an excellent job as always!! George was professional, on time, and kept in touch with me from the time I booked to the day of my service. He explained everything clearly and made sure the job was done right. My carpets look amazing and smell so fresh. You can tell he takes pride in his work and…

This is the 5th time we have used SoCal carpet cleaning. James is friendly but also efficient and provides a quality cleaning service.
Very professional service, attentive to detail, left things neat & tidy.
Awesome technician, service and result! Could not be happier.
I was very pleased with SoCal Steam Clean from my first telephone communication through to the completion of my cleaning. Pricing was outlined on the phone and aligned with my technician’s estimate once a quote was provided after the walk-through. My technician was George and he was punctual, transparent, polite,…
Easy and quick scheduling. Arrived in the time window agreed upon. Professional and friendly service by George. Will definitely consider for any future steam cleaning needs.
James is great and is very thorough!
Fantastic- they were punctual, very friendly and polite, and did an excellent job getting everything clean. Trevin is very considerate, does an excellent job, and consults with me on the challenging spots and how I want to handle them.
El servicio y la experiencia fueron excelentes desde que llamé pidiendo información. La persona que contestó el teléfono me explicó los costos y proceso a detalle. El técnico, George M., fue muy amable, atento y súper puntual. Hizo un gran trabajo y gracias a eso mi alfombra y mis sillones se ven súper limpios. Muchas gracias por el gran trabajo que hacen!
Great service. Easy to schedule, lots of availability, and lots of communication. George called me and was running early. He set up and finish very fast and did a really good job. Please with results and the service.
Taro was on time & did an excellent job in a timely manner
George did an amazing job cleaning my sticky carpet and my couch. I thought the couch was needing to be replaced but it looks so good now, I don't have to!
The best service we have ever experienced. George was incredibly detailed and attentive. Because of him, SoCal has a customer for life

Very professional and did a great job cleaning area rugs, couch and chair:
Trevin is very professional, knowledgeable & friendly. Couches and rugs look brand new.
Great job! Cleaning looks great and the service provider was professional and friendly. No complaints!
Socal has been helping us with our needs since 2016. They are an amazing team. Booking is very easy over the phone. They always answer all of my questions and provide sound advice. They cleaned all carpets and upholstery. It was a large job. While on site they worked very hard, explained everything, and…
From scheduling with Julia to Trevin's on time arrival, simply outstanding communication, service, and attention to detail! Efficient, friendly and professional. Hands down the best steam clean company in San Diego!
Great experience as always. Been using them guys years. Perfect customer service and always happy with the results. Will be using again.
Excellent experience- professional & very thorough. James was a delight.
We have used Socal Steam Clean several times. The service technicians are very knowledgeable, kind, punctual and do an excellent job. Great price for high quality service. I highly recommend.
James was awesome as usual. He is thorough and friendly and efficient! It’s nice to have a clean carpet for the holidays!
These guys always do a great job with a smile! On time and quick service. Seeing the before and after pictures, it is always amazing how dirty our rugs and furniture are.
Taro is the best! He takes pride in his job. The best carpet cleaners. I've used them for many years with excellent results.
Socal Steam Clean is awesome. Taro cleaned my carpets, rugs, couches on this visit and did an excellent job. Highly recommend!
I was surprised to have the same service person I had more than 2 years ago. He is very polite and professional. The job was well done. See you again. Sally Guza
James was here this afternoon to clean our carpets and to clean the tile at the front entrance. He is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough and is a very good communicator. I highly recommend this company; we have used them twice a year for many years now. Thanks a million James!
Our SEVEN year old beige fabric couch and love seat look brand NEW for $195 fee for 2 big pieces of furniture. It was extremely dirty. I had hired another company who did a horrible job two years ago and all stains were still there so I was reluctant to hire another professional. I am glad I took the risk with them…
He did an abysmal job. The sofa and chairs were still filthy. He was unable to get the stains out of the carpet. He did not even attempt to clean the undersurface of the sofa cushions and hoped I wouldn’t notice. This is all documented with photographs. I should have paid more attention immediately after the job…
Everything was perfect as always!
Nick was my technician and he did an amazing job! Second time he's cleaned our house carpets. He showed up on time, super professional, took the time to clean everything to a high standard. I’ll definitely be using this company again in the future.
Very prompt, courteous, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Definitely recommend Socal Steam Clean & Carpet Cleaning.
Nick did a great job in a timely manner.
Always a positive experience!
Good reminder system, Kind and knowledgeable help, pricing up front.
Trevin did a great job on our rugs and couch. Thank you!
The team at Socal Steam Clean communicated regularly about the appointment and when the technician was finished with his previous job, he was able to arrive early. The cleaning to my couch and area rugs exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
I don't usually write reviews so taking the time to do so means that this review comes with a high recommendation. I had the best experience with Trevin at SoCal steam clean! He was incredibly helpful with answering any questions that I had about the whole process and what the best options for me were. He's…
Excellent customer and very satisfied with the completed job.
Thank you James and Socal Steam for being professional and efficient. Our carpets, floor and couch are like new again.
I don't usually write reviews but I had such a good experience with their technician (Taro) that I felt compelled to write a review and let them know how good of job he did with my couch, chair, and car seats. He was professional, personable, and really accommodating. Will be requesting their cleaning again.
I’ve been using SoCal steam clean for annual/semi-annual upholstery and rug cleanings since 2017. Josh is professional, friendly and thorough! Amazing customer service with easy scheduling and reasonable pricing. Rugs and couches look brand new every time!
James was our technician. He arrived on time and was very professional, courteous, conscientious and pleasant. He explained everything to us and did an excellent job! Yay JAMES!!
Taro was fabulous. He answered our questions and concerns knowledgeably, was neat and respectful of our home while cleaning, and the results were even better than we dared hope for. We’ll definitely call him next time!
Your employee was very polite and did a terrific job.
We loved the quality of service and personality of serviceman.
Excellent service; will definitely recommend this business to others. Thank you!
SoCal Steam Clean Inc. will continue to have our business! Employees are friendly, professional, courteous, great with communication, and go out of their way to provide exceptional service! We had our living room carpet and sectional sofa cleaned and now everything is as close to looking brand new as it could get. I…
Nice and thorough cleaning! Couch looks good and the pet odors are gone!
This is my third time using SoCal Steam. The level of service and quality of work has been consistent each time. I fully intend to continue using them and highly recommend them to friends when it comes to upholstery cleaning. So nice to finally find a reliable company with fare prices these days!
Super friendly and got the job done. Thank you so much!
Very thorough
Had a great experience with Chris and am very happy with the results of my carpet, rug and couch. Quick, professional and good work.
On time and very professional. You can always get someone on the phone and they did call to confirm the appt. As a busy mom, the best part was the exact arrival time provided rather than an extended arrival window.
The man who came out and completed my carpet s was AMAZING! Very professional and got there on time. He explained the procedure and asked if I had any questions. My carpet looks great and my chair (I had that cleaned too) looks practically new!! I will definitely keep using this business!!
Great experience. Tech was super friendly and put some hard work into my couch being cleaned. I appreciate all the hard work.
Josh did an absolutely amazing job, was extremely professional, on time and immensely attentive. Will 100% use them again.
Josh did a phenomenal job!!! He worked quickly and professionally, cleaning out my couches which I had all but given up hope on. He brought them back to life and I feel like I've got new couches again! Definitely recommend and will be calling again if I need carpet cleaning or more upholstery touch ups!
Great company and great service!
I have had carpet/flooring/upholstery cleaning performed by many different companies over the years. SoCal Steam Clean has by far done the best job. They were highly professional from the first point of contact all the way through performing the work and then the clean-up after completion. My floors, couch and…
Great communication and availability. Arrived as scheduled, and Trevin was friendly and efficient. Our sectional looks fantastic. I wasn’t home and a friend didn’t know our accent pillows were supposed to be included and put them off to the side. When I called, they scheduled Trevin to come back the next day at…
Professional and friendly! Great company - definitely recommend !
Just used this service for the first time (after the company used for many years went out of business). I was extremely impressed with their professionalism throughout the entire experience from booking to completion of services, the attention to detail and the excellent customer service. Our sectional looks good…
Josh is very professional and got our furniture steamed quickly while taking great care of the fragile finish on our floors. Really appreciate him!
Josh arrived on time and I got reminders by email and phone, which were helpful. He did a great job, very thorough, and in cleaning my furniture extended it's life in my home. I was thinking of getting rid of it, but it looks so much better I think I'll keep it around.
I hired Steam Clean to clean a sofa and my stairs and hallway. The sofa's upholstery is a micro suede and was rather worn in places. Trevin, the associate , was concerned it may not clean properly, and it may be left streaked. I told him to go ahead and clean it, as it couldn't look worse than it already did. We…
Socal Steam Clean is an amazing business! My sofa and area rug were thoroughly cleaned today by Trevin with Socal Steam Clean. The work was done thoroughly. The end result was impeccable. I had both items cleaned previously by another company and there was virtually no visible difference whatsoever. In addition,…
This is my fifth time having SoCal Steam Clean freshen up my dwelling. I have two very old dogs and things were getting especially "unfresh" after the long winter lock down. My place is now clean and more inviting. All in all very good work and excellent value.
Trevin was wonderful! Very polite, on time, worked efficiently and did an excellent job removing the stains from my carpet. I couldn’t be happier!
Great job! Couches look brand new, and he gave me some tips on how to maintain stains. Highly recommend!
Excellent service! Taro was a courteous and fast technician.
Hugo did an amazing job on our couch, it looks and smells spectacular, we are so happy! He did an excellent job, I highly recommend them!
Absolutely fantastic company to work with. They were responsive they scheduled me quickly, the technician James who came out was very polite, fast, efficient, and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to take care of my indoor and outdoor furniture, to remove all stains, dog hair and animal cells. Highly recommend this company
James did a great job and was able to get out here the same day!
Very responsive! Taro did a great job with our couch and rug. Thank you! We highly recommend!
James is the best! Always on time and my carpets come out like new!!
SoCal Steam Clean is the ABSOLUTE BEST carpet cleaning company out there. We have tried several here in San Diego and I can tell you, these guys are second to none. Every time they come, people ask if we've had our carpets replaced. Just when you think your carpets are too far gone, they will come in and work their…
