A merchant ship crew cabin is a place where large numbers of people share or continuously rotate through the same beds and bedding. Crew members use the same bunk continuously for months at sea, and the high humidity from sea air creates ideal conditions for bed bugs and dust mites to thrive in the mattress. The STEMAR steam cleaner from WHD kills bed bugs, their eggs, and dust mites deep inside fabric fibers without any chemicals, making it safe for residents of every age.
Crew members use the same bunk continuously for months at sea, and the high humidity from sea air creates ideal conditions for bed bugs and dust mites to thrive in the mattress. Bed bugs can hide in mattress seams, bed frames, and blankets, and cleanliness has almost nothing to do with it. All it takes is a steady flow of different occupants for an infestation to spread quickly.
The consequences go far beyond itchy skin. Poor sleep, rising stress, and in a place housing many people at once, an outbreak can jump from room to room within just a few weeks if it is not addressed early.
Regular vacuuming or washing sheets only removes bed bugs sitting on the surface of the fabric. Eggs buried deep in mattress seams and bed frames survive and hatch again within days. Chemical spraying, meanwhile, raises real safety concerns in places housing children, the elderly, or patients.
The STEMAR steam cleaner from WHD releases high-temperature steam that penetrates deep into fabric fibers, mattress seams, and bed frames, eliminating bed bugs, their eggs, and dust mites in a single pass with no chemical residue left behind, making it safe for facilities housing residents of every age.

|---|---|
| Residents show fresh bite marks and itchy skin | No new bites, residents sleep more soundly |
| Mattresses and bed frames harbor bed bugs and eggs | Mattresses are clean down to the fiber level |

Does high-temperature steam damage fabric?
No, as long as the temperature is matched to the fabric type, steam cleans thoroughly without causing damage.
How often is treatment needed?
It depends on occupant turnover. Facilities with frequent turnover should schedule deep cleaning on a regular basis.
Is it safe for children and elderly residents?
Yes, because the entire process uses no chemicals of any kind.
