Steam Cleaning & Home Sanitization Services in St. Louis
Stop “Cleaning” and Start Sanitizing.
Most St. Louis homeowners searching for housekeeping fall into a common trap: they focus on tidying up, but ignore the invisible buildup that affects their home’s health.
Clean Town & Country goes beyond the standard “bucket and mop.” We specialize in Steam Sanitization—a process that cleans deeper, kills germs, and protects your family without harsh chemicals.
For homeowners in Town & Country, Clayton, and Ladue, we offer a higher standard of hygiene. Here is why your home needs a steam reset.
1. The “Iceberg Effect”: Visible Dirt vs. Invisible Bacteria
Standard cleaning often just moves dust around or masks odors with “lemon” scents. Real cleanliness requires physics, not just chemistry.
The Power of Steam (290°F)
We utilize professional-grade steamers that heat water to over 290°F. According to the CDC, there is a distinct difference between cleaning (removing dirt) and sanitizing (lowering germ counts). Standard cleaning simply removes surface dirt, while steam sanitizes.
- It Sanitizes: Steam kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and dust mites on contact.
- No Harsh Chemicals: We sanitize using water vapor, making it safe for pets, babies, and allergy sufferers.
- Grout & Detail: Steam blasts dirt out of porous grout lines and crevices that a sponge simply pushes deeper.

2. Know What You Need: Deep Clean vs. Maintenance
We recommend all new clients start with a Steam Deep Clean.
If your home hasn’t been professionally steamed in the last 6 months, you likely have buildup (calcium, grease, biofilm) that regular wiping won’t remove. A deep clean resets your home’s “hygiene baseline,” making your recurring maintenance cleans far more effective.

5. Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Is steam cleaning safe for my hardwood floors?
Yes. We use professional “dry steam” technology. The steam contains very little moisture (approx. 5% water) and evaporates almost instantly. It sanitizes the surface without saturating the wood.
❓ Is it safe for pets and babies?
It is the safest method available. Because we use 100% water and zero harsh chemicals, there is no toxic residue left behind. Your pets can walk on the floors and babies can crawl safely immediately after we finish.
❓ Does steam cleaning cost more?
It is a premium service that requires specialized equipment and more time than a standard wipe-down. However, the value is higher: you aren’t just paying for a tidy home; you are paying for a sanitized environment.
