Dry steam from our machines kills bugs and eggs the instant it touches them. The steam leaves the nozzle very hot and carries very little water, so our technician can push it deep into mattress seams and cushion welts without soaking the fabric.
Where Steam Helps Most
- Mattress seams, tufts and edges.
- Sofas, padded headboards and office chairs.
- Car seats and child safety seats.
- Pet beds, drapes and items too big for a dryer.
Commercial Steam, Not a Household Unit
A store-bought steamer cools down at the nozzle and leaves fabric wet. We use commercial units, move slowly along each seam and always pair steam with another method, because steam leaves nothing behind that keeps working.
- LocateWe find where the bugs are hiding.
- SteamSeams, joints and folds get slow, overlapping passes.
- EncaseMattresses and box springs often go into sealed covers.
- Follow upA second method and a later visit catch anything missed.
Steam in Sunnyvale Homes
Steam suits parents who want no spray near a crib, renters in furnished units who cannot take the furniture out, and home office workers whose fabric desk chair sits a few feet from the bed. It is also handy for the car seats of commuters who drive to the Moffett Park offices every day.
Getting Ready for Steam
- Strip every bed and wash and dry the linens on hot.
- Clear the floor around beds and seating.
- Tell your technician about leather or delicate furniture.
Steam Treatment FAQ
Is steam enough by itself for my apartment?
Rarely. Steam works only where the nozzle passes, so a Sunnyvale plan always adds another method for frames, walls and the next room.
Can steam damage leather or delicate fabric?
Most fabrics handle dry steam well, but point out leather, silk or antique pieces so we can test a hidden spot or choose another method.
