Slow passes of dry steam kill every bed bug and egg they touch in Delano mattresses, couches and chairs. The vapor is hot enough and dry enough to work deep into seams and cushion edges while leaving fabric only slightly damp.
Where Steam Works Best
- Mattress seams, tufts and edges.
- Couches, recliners and padded headboards.
- Cloth car and truck seats.
- Strollers, backpacks and blankets too large for a dryer.
Our Steamers vs a Home Steamer
A household steamer cools at the tip or soaks the fabric. Our commercial units keep the heat at the nozzle while we move along every seam. Steam leaves no lasting effect once the machine is off, so it is always one part of a larger plan.
- LocateWe find where the bugs are resting.
- SteamSeams, folds and joints get slow, overlapping passes.
- EncaseMattresses and box springs often go into sealed covers.
- ReturnA second method goes in, and we come back for anything steam missed.
Steam in Delano Homes
Steam suits families with babies or young children who want no product near a crib, homes where the couch doubles as a bed for a relative, and households who drive a shared truck or van to work and want the seats checked when a bedroom turns up signs.
Before We Steam
- Take off sheets, pillow covers and couch throws, and run them through the hottest wash and dry cycle the fabric can handle.
- Clear the floor around beds and couches.
- Show your technician any leather, vinyl or delicate fabric.
Steam Treatment Questions
Can you steam the seats of a work truck or family van?
Yes. Cloth seats, seat seams and floor mats take steam well. We keep it away from electronics and pair it with a check of the bags and blankets that ride in the vehicle.
Will steam alone fix a bedroom?
Almost never. Steam kills only the bugs and eggs it touches, so we pair it with another method for the frame, the trim and nearby furniture.
