Clinical-Grade Steam Cleaning San Diego: Safe for Seniors & Pets
Standard maids use bleach, which creates toxic fumes. We use 275°F dry steam to kill bacteria without chemicals.
For seniors with respiratory sensitivities, aging pets, or anyone concerned about chemical exposure, clinical-grade steam cleaning in San Diego is the only way to truly sanitize without introducing toxic fumes into your home.
Why 275°F Steam Beats Bleach for Seniors
Chemical cleaners don't just clean—they leave behind fumes and residues that can harm vulnerable immune systems.
No Toxic Fumes
Bleach releases chlorine gas. Ammonia-based cleaners irritate airways. For seniors with COPD, asthma, or weakened lungs, chemical fumes are dangerous. Steam produces zero harmful vapors.
Stops Cross-Contamination
Standard cleaning spreads bacteria from toilets to counters via dirty cloths. 275°F thermal shock kills pathogens on contact, preventing germs from traveling room to room.
Safe for Aging Pets
Chemical residues on floors can poison pets who lick their paws. Steam evaporates instantly, leaving zero toxic residue—safe for cats, dogs, and birds with sensitive systems.
“As a local healthcare specialist, I am particular about hygiene. Bravo Maids used their steam system... and the difference is palpable.”— Dr. E., San Diego

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is steam cleaning safer for seniors than chemical cleaning?
Steam cleaning at 275°F eliminates bacteria, viruses, and allergens through thermal shock—without releasing toxic fumes. Bleach and chemical cleaners can trigger respiratory issues, especially in seniors with COPD, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Steam leaves zero chemical residue.
What is cross-contamination and how does steam prevent it?
Cross-contamination occurs when bacteria from one surface (like a toilet) spreads to another (like a kitchen counter) via dirty cloths or mops. Our steam system uses 275°F thermal shock that kills pathogens on contact, preventing the spread of germs between rooms.
How much does clinical-grade steam cleaning cost?
Our Steam Sanitation Add-On is $80 per room. This includes high-touch surfaces, floors, and bathroom fixtures sanitized at 275°F. Many senior clients add steam to their recurring visits for ongoing protection.
Is steam cleaning safe for pets?
Yes. Unlike chemical cleaners that leave toxic residues pets can lick or inhale, 275°F steam evaporates instantly and leaves nothing behind. It's the safest option for homes with aging pets who may have compromised immune systems.
