Our dry steam kills bed bugs and eggs the instant it reaches them. The tip runs very hot while carrying little water, so our technician can push it into mattress seams and cushion piping without soaking the fabric.
Where Steam Works Best
- Mattress seams, tufts and edges, including guest beds and sofa beds.
- Sofas, padded headboards and desk chairs.
- Car seats, floor mats and child car seats.
- Pet beds, curtains and things too big for a dryer.
Why We Use Commercial Steamers
Household units cool down at the nozzle or leave fabric too wet. Our commercial units hold their temperature, we move slowly along every seam, and we always add a second method, since steam leaves nothing behind once it cools.
- FindWe track down where the bugs are hiding.
- SteamSeams, joints and folds get slow, overlapping passes.
- CoverMattresses and box springs often go into sealed encasements.
- Follow upA heat or residual step treats frames and walls, and we come back to check.
Steam in Simi Valley Homes
Steam suits Simi Valley families who want nothing sprayed near a crib or a toddler bed, and households where the family room sectional doubles as a spare bed. Commuters who drive the 118 every day often ask us to steam the car seats too, since a bug picked up at work can ride home in the car.
Steam Prep
- Strip the beds and wash and dry all linens on hot.
- Clear the floor around beds and couches.
- Point out any leather, suede or delicate furniture to our technician.
Steam Treatment Questions
Is steam enough to treat our whole condo?
Rarely on its own. Steam only kills what the nozzle touches, so we combine it with heat or a residual product for frames, baseboards and the rest of the room.
Can you steam the inside of my car?
Yes. Seats, floor mats and child seats are good places for steam, and many Simi Valley commuters ask us to do the car on the same day as the house.
