Every bed bug and egg the steam touches dies on the spot, inside the seam where it hides. The steam leaves the nozzle very hot and carries little water, so our technician can work it into mattress seams and cushion edges without soaking the fabric.
Best Uses for Steam
- Mattress seams, tufts and edges.
- Sofas, sofa beds, recliners and padded headboards.
- Car seats and child car seats.
- Pet beds, drapes and items too large for a dryer.
Why Commercial Steamers
Home steamers cool off before the steam reaches the fabric or leave it too wet. Our commercial units hold their heat, we move slowly over every seam, and we always add a second method, because steam stops killing once it cools.
- FindWe locate where the bugs are hiding.
- SteamSeams, joints and folds get slow, overlapping passes.
- CoverMattresses and box springs often go into sealed encasements.
- SupportA second method backs up the steam, and a return visit catches stragglers.
Steam in Daly City Homes
Steam suits families who want nothing sprayed near a baby's crib or a grandparent's bed, and households where a sofa bed becomes a guest bed for visiting relatives. It also helps BART and Interstate 280 commuters who want their car seats treated, and anyone who brought home a used couch or mattress.
Before We Come
- Strip beds and run linens through a hot wash and a hot dryer.
- Clear floor space around beds, sofas and chairs.
- Point out any leather, delicate or antique pieces.
Steam Treatment FAQ
Is steam enough on its own?
Seldom. Steam kills only what the nozzle touches, so we pair it with a second method for bed frames, walls and the rooms nearby.
Will steam harm a leather recliner or an heirloom chair?
Most fabrics take dry steam well, but point out leather, velvet or old pieces first so we can test a hidden spot or choose another method.
