Steam cleaning
The use of a
professional steam cleaner allows an effective treatment to eradicate mites and bed bugs using thermal shock. Beyond its virtues of disinfection and not using chemicals, steam makes it possible to treat surfaces or textiles without damaging them and to reach inaccessible places.
The steam then penetrates the dirt like a gaseous substance and thus loosens this dirt while retaining in its path all the particles that compose it: grease, germs, bacteria, mites, bed bugs.
