The Power of Steam
Steam vapour is the result of water molecules that have been heated to over 100 degrees Celsius at normal atmospheric pressure. Water in this highly energized state provides a new set of cleaning and killing powers. To harness the power of steam, water is boiled and stored in an air tight container called a boiler. The steam is then released in a controlled volume and direction to concentrate on the target that requires cleaning. Temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius are lethal to common germs and bacteria and will easily melt and liquefy oils.
The high temperature of the steam delivered at 102 degrees Celsius softens the greases, oils and fats etc that bind dirt into or onto surfaces, allowing dislodgement by pressure. The dirt can then be wiped or vacuumed away leaving surfaces sparkling and also sanitised. Because steam vapour consists of only 5% moisture, steam is preferred to water blasting for all indoor cleaning tasks. Carpets cleaned with steam vapour dry within minutes rather than days.
Steam cleaning is a non abrasive method of cleaning so chores are simplified and far less taxing than the old fashioned scrubbing methods. The high pressure blast allows cleaning and sanitising of hard to access areas. Because steam dissipates rapidly when released to the atmosphere, it is completely safe to use with just minimal duty of care.
