Our cleaners use targeted steam — just water and heat — on wet-zone fixtures like sinks, showers, toilets, and tubs on every visit. It loosens grease and soap scum on grout lines and fixture edges that a regular wipe-down tends to miss, without relying on harsh chemicals. Surfaces are dry within minutes.
275°F Steam on Tile and Grout Lines
Thermal-shock steam lifting embedded build-up from tile and grout seams — the mechanism behind the 275°F method.
What Steam Cleaning Handles Well
Steam is one tool in the checklist — it's especially useful where grease and soap scum build up over time.
- Kitchen faucets, sinks, and stovetop edges
- Shower and tub fixtures, grout lines around them
- Toilet base and hard-to-reach fixture edges
- No added chemical spray needed on these spots
- Dry within minutes, ready to use
- Tile floors with visible grout buildup
- Baseboards that haven't been hand-cleaned in a while
- Full bathroom walls, not just fixtures
- Homes going through their first Deep Clean
- $80 per room, added at booking or on request
Good For
A few situations where the steam upgrade is worth adding.
Homes that haven't had a professional clean in 30+ days often have buildup a standard visit won't fully clear.
Grout and tile in a vacated home tend to show buildup that matters for a walkthrough.
The two rooms where grease, soap scum, and hard-water buildup accumulate fastest.
Extra floor and baseboard attention for hair, tracked-in dirt, and high-traffic wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is steam cleaning?
Steam cleaning uses hot water vapor — no added chemicals — to loosen grease, soap scum, and buildup on kitchen and bathroom fixtures so it wipes away more easily. It works well on grout lines, faucet edges, and other spots that plain wiping tends to miss. Surfaces dry within minutes.
Is steam cleaning safe for pets and children?
Steam cleaning uses just water and heat — no added chemicals, no fumes, no residue left behind. Surfaces dry within minutes. As with any cleaning visit, tell us about pets, sensitivities, or product preferences beforehand so we can plan accordingly.
How is steam cleaning different from a standard wipe-down?
A standard wipe or spray cleans the surface you can see. Heat and pressure from steam reach into grout lines and fixture edges where grease and soap scum build up over time, without needing a harsh chemical to cut through it.
How much does steam cleaning cost in San Diego?
Targeted steam on wet-zone fixtures — sinks, showers, toilets, and tubs — is included on every Bravo Maids visit at no extra cost. The All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade extends that steam to all hard surfaces in a room — tile floors, grout lines, baseboards, and hard walls — for $80 per room. Every 4th completed recurring clean also includes one complimentary Focus Detail of your choice: oven, refrigerator, or one-room hard-surface steam.
What surfaces can be steam cleaned?
Steam works well on most hard surfaces — tile, grout, sealed stone, stainless steel, and glass. We assess each surface before treatment to make sure it's a good fit, since some finishes (like unsealed wood) aren't suited to it.
