Professional dry steam kills bed bugs and eggs on contact. Commercial units release very hot vapor with little moisture, so a technician can work the nozzle slowly through mattress tufts and couch seams without soaking the fabric.
Best Places for Steam
- Mattress seams, tufts and tags.
- Sofas, sectionals and fabric headboards.
- Car seats and baby gear.
- Curtains, pet beds and fabric pieces that cannot go in a dryer.
Why a Pro Unit Matters
Steam only works where the nozzle touches, and it leaves nothing behind. The technician makes slow, overlapping passes on every seam, then adds a second method for frames, walls and other rooms.
- LocateThe technician finds where bugs are resting.
- SteamSlow, overlapping passes along seams and folds.
- CoverMattresses and box springs are often sealed in bug-proof encasements.
- Back againThe technician returns with a second method to finish the rooms steam cannot protect.
Steam in Cerritos Homes
Steam suits Cerritos families with a baby, a grandparent or anyone who wants no spray on the bed, and it helps on large fabric sectionals in family rooms. It also works on a guest bed or sofa bed after visitors leave.
Before the Technician Comes
- Strip the beds and run all linens through a hot wash and hot dryer.
- Clear space around beds and couches.
- Tell the technician about any leather, vinyl or delicate fabric.
Questions About Steam Treatment
Will the mattress be damp afterward?
Professional dry steam uses very little water, so a mattress is only slightly damp and dries quickly. Clothing steamers sold for home use are wetter and lose heat at the nozzle, so they are not a good substitute.
Does steam protect the room after the visit?
No. Steam has no lasting effect once the nozzle moves on, which is why technicians add mattress encasements, a residual product or a heat treatment.
