Antiviral Cleanup Process


The first step our technicians will take is putting on OSHA-approved personal protective equipment. During the cleaning process, all surfaces in the home or business office will be disinfected using EPA-approved products only. Our technicians will get every detail, disinfecting door knobs, light switches, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, faucets, sinks and many other frequently touched areas. This is the perfect cleaning process if someone in your home or business has had covid-19 recently, and you’re wanting to ensure the virus is removed from all possible surfaces.


After the initial cleaning is finished, we’ll protect your surfaces to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, fungi etc., by applying the long-lasting antimicrobial Bioshield 75. This powerful antimicrobial, when used in conjunction with other cleaning products, will protect your surfaces and keep them cleaner for even longer than just the standard disinfectant! It’ll reduce the growth of bacteria and other substances for a period of 90 days.

Pet Odor Disaster? Call The Steam Team of Austin!

Odor Removal Austin, Texas

If you’re a pet owner, you already know that our pets can be as destructive as they are loveable. Many pets leave behind odors from fur or urine stains that can easily overpower a home, especially if the pet was left unattended for a long period of time. If this has happened in your home, it’s time to call in The Steam Team of Austin.


Our Odor Eliminating Process in Austin, Texas


When a home is afflicted by excessive pet odors, there may be varying levels of the odor and of the stains associated with them, so when our technicians arrive on the scene they’ll choose the method best suited to treat the level of odor. Our technicians will use a high-power rinsing process that usually gets pet odor out of any carpet, but if the odor is too deep then the carpet may have to be removed for a full clean. Neglecting your carpet by not having urine stains eliminated will eventually cause bacteria growth and your carpet may have a permanent color change.


If the carpet must be pulled up, our technicians will then remove the affected padding underneath the carpet and thoroughly rinse the backside of the carpet. The floor will be treated with a special enzyme treatment, a new padding and new tack strip will be installed, then the carpet will be put back in place. Finally, the carpet will be cleaned one more time and then a topical enzyme treatment will be applied. Once our technicians have completed this process, the odors will be totally eliminated and you’ll be able to breathe freely again!


The Steam Team of Austin


Only The Steam Team can provide the best trained technicians with high-powered equipment and the most effective methods for eliminating pet odors in the Austin, TX area. If you have a pet odor problem in your home, call in The Steam Team!

Using A Carpet Cleaner On Flooring Besides Carpet

Carpet Cleaning in Austin

If you already own a carpet cleaner then we don’t need to tell you how great they are, or how beneficial they can be for your carpet. But what about the other types of flooring in your house? Will a carpet cleaner be just as effective?


Steam Cleaning Ceramic Flooring


As a matter of fact, if you are only using your carpet cleaner for your carpet then you’re not using this helpful machine to its full potential. Carpet cleaners are actually one of the best things to use for cleaning a ceramic floor. The high pressure steam strips the floor of residue and chemicals left over by other household cleaning products. If you have any pets or children that spend a lot of time on the floor, it’s very important to keep these harmful chemicals off of your tile. To use a carpet cleaner on a ceramic floor, first do a thorough sweep of the floor to pick up all the larger pieces of dirt and debris. Then just add the water, place the microfiber cleaning cloth on the unit’s cleaner head, plug the machine in, and you’re ready to go!


Steam Cleaning Hardwood Flooring


Using a carpet cleaner on a hardwood floor isn't quite as simple as it is with a ceramic floor. It depends very much on what kind of steam cleaner you get, as well as the condition of your floor. If you are going to steam clean your hardwood, make sure to only purchase a steam cleaner that is advertised to be used on hardwood. Then, you will notice that there is a warning on the steam cleaner that says to only use it on floors that have been properly sealed. To test the seal on your floor, place a drop of water on it. If it is immediately up, then the seal is intact and your floor can withstand the steam. If the water spreads out or sinks into the wood, DO NOT attempt to use a steam cleaner on your floor.
