Dry steam kills every bed bug and egg it touches in Highland mattresses, sectionals and chairs. The vapor is so hot and so dry that it reaches deep into seams and tufts while leaving the fabric only slightly damp.
Where Steam Works Best
- Mattress seams, tufts and corners.
- Sectional sofas, recliners and padded headboards.
- Car seats and floor mats.
- Luggage, strollers and backpacks too big for a dryer.
Commercial Steam vs Home Steamers
A household steamer loses heat at the tip or leaves fabric wet. Our commercial units stay hot at the nozzle while we move slowly along every seam. Steam does nothing once the machine is off, so it is always 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.
- Back upA second method is added and we return to check on hidden spots.
Steam in Highland Homes
Steam fits households with a baby who want no product near the crib, families with big sectional couches where kids sleep over, and hotel and resort workers who want their car and work bag cleaned after spotting signs on the job.
Before We Steam
- Strip every sheet, pillowcase and cover, then wash and dry them as hot as the fabric allows.
- Clear the floor around beds and couches.
- Point out leather, suede or delicate fabrics to your technician.
Steam Treatment Questions
Can you steam my car after I drove home from a hotel shift?
Yes. We steam the seats, seams and floor mats and pay attention to where you set your work bag. Since steam leaves nothing behind, we check the car again on the follow-up visit.
Will steam alone clear one bedroom?
Almost never. Steam kills only what it touches, so we pair it with a second method for the bed frame, trim and furniture near the bed.
