What Is Steam

Cleaning by traditional methods

Traditional cleaning methods remove dirt mechanically by water and tension active components, but some dirt can remain in the pores of the surfaces. Disinfectants also act mainly on the surface, so bacteria can survive and be ready to grow again. The cleaned surface reflects the light ans looks sparkling, but it's only a visual impression of cleanliness.

Steam cleaning

High temperature steam reaches the organic materials deep down the surface. The dead organisms, even in the innermost pores, can then be removed by using only water and micro fibre cloths, effectively restricting further germ growth. Rinsing water, residuals and wastes are all 100% biodegradable.

We all know that because of high temperatures steam will dissolve fats and oils and will kill bacteria (most die at 85°C). So its only a question of control and safety. Steam is safer in terms of use at higher temperature where the water particulate is smaller (dry steam) and cools more quickly, the saturated steam from a kettle can scald faster than dry steam.

Care of the environment

The use of steam to clean reduces the use of chemicals by 80% to 90% and reduces the use of water by 90% to 95%; it also reduces the use of resources for heating the water at the same time.
