Steam clean drive train?

Has anyone tried one of those small wand steam cleaners to clean their drive train?

Would you expect any problems from using steam to clean the chain, chainwheels, and cassette?

I don't want to clean bike grime from the bath tub each day here in my Wisconsin home, and our garage isn't insulated even though it is attached. After riding through salt and slush, I'm wondering if a quick steam cleaning would be a simple solution to get the gunk and salt off before lubricating the drive train components.
