Steam is a completely environmentally friendly cleaning method.
Do we care about the environment?
We are poisoning our planet with waste chemicals that we use for cleaning. Just in England we pour thousands of liters a day down the drain and back into the environment. We use water at an alarming rate, most people think it's ok because rain falls from the sky and we have lots of it. It is not and we have not. Every year we have droughts and more pipe bans. We are reducing our resources.
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.
The Quality Case, Hygiene and Safety
Mops and buckets use chemicals which are left smeared on the floor or walls along with whatever is in the bucket, shuffling dirt into corners, edges around legs or supports on the base of the equipment.
The bucket contains water, chemical and dirt, and the mop was probably dirty to start with. We know that water evaporates; the chemical goes hard and traps the dirt, leading to a build up in grouts on the floors and walls and within the surface of safety floors, because they are not perfectly flat. This makes the floors slippery and slow to dry. |
