Steam cleaning is not smart. Condensation builds up in you electricals and eats them away. I'd be careful steaming it might want to think of alternatives

I wrap my alternator, battery terminals and other electrical components in saran wrap, then spray the engine down with the castrol degreaser in the purple bottle. Then it gets a light mist with a hose, and I use a sponge to get the tough spots.
