Steam Cleaning Services in Anchorage, Alaska

Targeted Steam Cleaning Services for Critical Maintenance Needs

In the heart of Anchorage, Alaska—where winter leaves its mark on every sidewalk, driveway, and structure—steam cleaning is more than just a cosmetic solution; it's essential for property preservation. At Blizzard Snow Plowing, our 40+ years of service have equipped us with the local knowledge and advanced steam technology to meet the region’s unique cleaning demands. From oil-stained commercial garages to ice-burned concrete driveways and weatherworn building exteriors, our steam cleaning service delivers a level of restoration that conventional methods can't match.


Anchorage’s weather extremes contribute to the buildup of hardened grease, algae, salt residue, mildew, and other persistent contaminants. Power washing alone often falls short, especially during colder months when frozen debris binds to surfaces. Steam cleaning, with its high-heat, low-pressure system, not only removes these stains but also sanitizes without harsh chemicals, making it the safest and most effective option for residential and commercial clients throughout Anchorage, Alaska, and surrounding areas, including Fairbanks, College, Beaver Creek, Burwash Landing, Bethel, Dawson City, and Kongiganak.


Our steam cleaning experts combine high-temperature vapor with precision techniques to lift deep-set grime while protecting the integrity of your surfaces. Whether we’re rejuvenating siding in Spenard, lifting vehicle stains from Midtown driveways, or cleaning industrial spaces in the Ship Creek area, every job is handled with care, consistency, and local awareness. With an unwavering commitment to environmentally conscious practices, we use biodegradable solutions that are tough on stains but gentle on Alaska’s ecosystems.

Benefits of Professional Steam Cleaning Services 

Deep Sanitization Without Harsh Chemicals

Steam cleaning eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria, mold, mildew, and allergens using high-temperature vapor alone. This chemical-free method is safe for families, pets, and individuals with sensitivities. It delivers a sanitized environment without the health risks associated with harsh detergents or synthetic cleaners.

Safe for a Wide Range of Surfaces

This method utilizes lower pressure and high heat, making it suitable for a variety of materials, including vinyl, brick, wood, and painted surfaces. It prevents damage like warping, chipping, or fading that can occur with standard pressure washing. Surfaces are restored without compromising structural integrity.

Effective Grease and Grime Removal

Steam penetrates deep into porous surfaces to dissolve heavy grease, oil, and grime. It's highly effective on driveways, garage floors, kitchens, and equipment areas where residue builds up over time. Unlike cold-water methods, steam provides a deeper clean that tackles tough, embedded contaminants.

Environmentally Responsible Cleaning Solution

Steam cleaning uses significantly less water and eliminates the need for chemical-based solutions. This reduces runoff and protects surrounding plant life, soil, and drainage systems. It’s a sustainable choice that supports cleaner, greener property maintenance without sacrificing cleaning power.

Extended Surface Life and Reduced Maintenance

By removing harmful substances like mold, mildew, salt, and debris, steam cleaning helps prevent premature wear and surface degradation. Regular cleaning extends the lifespan of siding, concrete, and masonry. This minimizes future repair costs and keeps surfaces in top condition year-round.

Year-Round Performance in Any Climate

Steam cleaning remains effective across all seasons, even during cold or damp conditions. It melts ice, loosens hardened debris, and clears surfaces that are difficult to treat with traditional pressure washing. Property owners can rely on consistent results regardless of the weather.
