Default Steam Clean Engine Bay. Good or Bad?

Hey guys. Since I've repainted my car and did some minor conversions (I'll post pics when it's COMPLETELY done, just waiting for my rims) now it's time to address the engine bay. Since my car is a 1995 with about 162k, the engine bay does show sign of it...IT'S FILTHY! I've heard of people getting there engine bays steam cleaned. Is this a safe procedure? If so, would anyone happen to know a decent place that does this in the SoCal area, I'm in Long Beach.

If not, what would be the procedures in cleaning it myself? Thanks!

Use simple green and water. Bag off all electrical stuff. It works nicely.
