How to Choose Mattress Steam Cleaners For Removing Bed Bugs?

Mattress steam cleaners are used popularly in hotels, lodges, hostels, and residences. Almost all the steam cleaning machines do a good job of cleaning mattresses and keeping the bed neat and dry. However, bed bug removal is a different game altogether. Not all steamers are equally good.

Why Bed Bug Removal Is Different?
A majority of bed bugs are killed by the steam emitted by mattress steam cleaners. Bed bugs perish when exposed to heated output, but not their eggs. Not all steamers have the capability of destroying the eggs of bed bugs.

Secondly, some bed bugs escape the steam cleaning act and remain in the room even after steam cleaning. Needless to say, they gradually infiltrate into beds and mattresses again.

So, how can one select the right mattress steam cleaners that eliminate virtually all the bed bugs? Here are some tips:

Antibacterial Technology
Some of the machines are equipped with specialized anti-bacterial technologies. These antibacterial steam cleaners can remove not just bed bugs and their eggs, but almost 99 percent of commonly occurring disease-spreading microorganisms and bacteria. Always make sure that your mattress steam cleaners are equipped with an antibacterial technology.

Specialized Accessories
A practical hazard many cleaning workers face when removing bed bugs is the unavailability of the right hoses. Some of the suppliers offer special accessories along with mattress steam cleaners for preventing any bed beg from escaping.
