Dry steam kills any bed bug or egg it touches. The tip runs very hot but releases little water, so our technician can work it into mattress seams and cushion welts without soaking the fabric.
Best Uses for Steam
- Mattress seams, tufts and corners.
- Sectionals, recliners and fabric headboards.
- Truck and car seats, plus child car seats.
- Pet beds, curtains and things too large for a dryer.
Why Pro Steamers Work Better
Home steamers cool off at the tip or leave fabric damp. We use commercial machines, move slowly along every seam and always add a second method, since steam gives no protection after it stops.
- LocateWe find where the bugs are hiding.
- SteamSeams, folds and joints get slow, overlapping passes.
- CoverMattresses and box springs often go into sealed encasements.
- ReturnWe add a second method and come back to check.
Steam in Victorville Homes
Steam helps parents who want nothing sprayed near a crib and families with a large fabric sectional they do not want to replace. Victorville drivers spend long hours on the I-15 and US 395, and if bags or a car seat might be involved, we can steam vehicle seats while the house is treated. RVs and travel trailers parked at home can be included in the plan too.
Getting Ready for Steam
- Pull every sheet and pillowcase and run them through a hot wash and a hot dryer.
- Clear the floor around beds, sofas and recliners.
- Point out leather, antique or delicate furniture to your technician.
Steam Treatment Questions
Is steam enough by itself to clear a bedroom?
Rarely. Steam kills only what it touches and leaves no protection behind, so we combine it with another method for bed frames, walls and the rest of the room.
Can you steam a leather recliner?
Leather, suede and velvet can be damaged by steam, so tell us about them. We may test a hidden spot or use another method on those pieces.
