The dry steam from our machines kills bed bugs and eggs the moment it reaches them. It leaves the nozzle extremely hot with very little moisture, so our technician can work it deep into mattress seams and cushion welts without soaking the fabric.
Where Steam Works Best
- Mattress seams, tufts and borders.
- Sofas, fabric headboards and desk chairs.
- RV and camper van cushions, bunks and seats.
- Child car seats, pet beds and drapes too large for a dryer.
Why the Machine Matters
A household steamer loses heat at the tip and leaves fabric damp. We use commercial units, move slowly along each seam and always combine steam with a second method, because steam leaves no residue that keeps working afterward.
- FindWe locate where the bugs are hiding.
- SteamSeams, joints and folds get slow, overlapping passes.
- CoverMattresses and box springs often go into sealed encasements.
- ReturnA second method and a follow-up visit catch anything left.
Steam in Mountain View Homes
Steam fits parents who want no spray near a crib, tenants in furnished units who cannot move furniture out, and residents who live in an RV or van, where tenting is not an option. It is also useful for the fabric seats of a car used every day to reach the North Bayshore offices.
Steam Prep Checklist
- Pull every sheet and pillowcase and run them through a hot wash and a hot dryer.
- Clear the floor around beds, couches and chairs.
- Point out leather or fragile furniture to your technician.
Steam Treatment FAQ
Can steam alone clear my apartment?
Rarely. Steam only kills what the nozzle reaches, so every Mountain View plan we write pairs it with another method for bed frames, walls and nearby rooms.
Is steam safe on leather or delicate fabric?
Most fabrics handle dry steam well. Point out leather, silk or antique pieces so we can test a hidden spot first or pick a different method.
