Our dry steam kills bugs and eggs the moment it touches them. It leaves the nozzle very hot with 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 corners.
- Couches, padded headboards and upholstered chairs.
- Car seats and child safety seats.
- Pet beds, curtains and items too large for a dryer.
Why We Use Commercial Steamers
Household steamers lose heat at the tip and leave fabric damp. Our commercial units stay hot, and we move slowly along every seam. We always add another method, because steam leaves nothing behind that keeps working.
- FindWe locate the hiding spots.
- SteamSeams, joints and folds get slow, overlapping passes.
- CoverMattresses and box springs often go into sealed encasements.
- RecheckA second method and a return visit catch anything missed.
Steam in Los Gatos Homes
Steam fits families who want no spray near a crib, owners of antique or upholstered pieces in older downtown homes, and cabin owners with built-in bunks and futons that cannot be moved out. It also works on the car seats of commuters who drive Highway 17 every day.
How to Prepare
- Take all bedding off and run it through a hot wash and a hot dryer cycle.
- Clear the floor around beds and seating.
- Point out leather, antiques or delicate fabrics to your technician.
Steam Treatment FAQ
Can steam alone clear my condo?
Rarely. Steam only works where the nozzle touches, so in Los Gatos we always pair it with another method for bed frames, walls and nearby rooms.
Is steam safe for antique or upholstered furniture?
Most fabrics handle dry steam well. Show us any antiques, leather, velvet or silk so we can test a hidden spot first or choose another method.
