Steam Cleaning Leather?

Went to a local detailing shop to get tints removed after failing inspection. When I picked up the car I asked about detailing once warmer weather arrived. The shop steam cleans the entire car, inside and out. Is this something new? How does leather stand up to steam? If anyone has had this done I'd be interested in your input. Initial reaction, not a great idea.

Its tried and true, one of the best ways to clean a car's interior.

Youtube/Google it and you'll find plenty of info.

I don't know how I feel about steam on our novillo leather. I would use nothing besides leatherique or swissvax

I'd ask them not to use steam on leather.

It's safe if you know what you're doing, but they cannot just spray the steam directly onto the leather or it could be damaged.
