Steam is a completely environmentally friendly cleaning method.
Warm water, cloths and mops are not enough to combat bacteria and the build up of dirt and grease. Our staff are trained to use steam cleaning equipment to eradicate dirt and restore areas such as kitchen and toilet back to their original condition.
Steam has been used to clean on railways, ships and power stations for around 150 years. Mainly cleaning machinery and the grease and oil that goes with engineering, usually with a long lance and armored gloves. 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 a 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.
 Cleaning by Traditional Methods
Traditional cleaning methods remove dirt mechanically by water and chemicals, 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 and looks sparkling, but it's only a visual impression of cleanliness.
To Clean by Steam
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 fiber cloths. New germs cannot find a proper ground to grow.
Rinsing water, residuals and wastes are all biodegradable 100%. |
