Benefits of Superheated Dry Steam

A superheated dry steam is important for disinfecting many surfaces and hidden source of bacteria in many areas such as mattress, carpet tiles, grouts, crevices, furniture and etc. Using steam vapour in hot temperature as up to 180 degrees Celsius will provide an efficient disinfector tool and powerful cleaning method compared to the use of chemicals which are dangerous to humans and environment.

Steam leaves no toxic residues and generally won't stain at all. In fact, steam vapour is effective in decontaminating bacteria in all kinds of form, because bacteria scientifically is prone and susceptible to the heat more than 120 degrees Celsius. When steam is applied under high pressure as higher as 10 bar, the germ nest, bacteria eggs can be removed quickly with ease thus leaving surfaces clean and restored to prolong life.

A steam cleaner utilises water as source to produce dry steam vapour with 5% water content, providing an excellent alternative as eco-friendly cleaning mechanism. Moreover, steam cleaner can have many different attachments and tools tailored to specific cleaning applications.

The reason that steam cleaner is used by many users, including predominantly contract cleaners industry, due to its many benefits such as:

What is Vapor Steam Cleaning?

The concept of vapor steam cleaning was originated in Italy where they are using their very own manufactured vapor steam cleaner having a true steam temperature of 180°C. Vapor steam cleaning is a method of cleaning without using any harmful chemicals that were found in the supermarket. It is a one easy operation that sanitizes, deep cleans, disinfect and deodorized almost all surfaces. 

Vapor Steam Cleaning Solution

To allergy sufferers, vapor steam cleaning is the best and ideal. The steam produced by vapor steam cleaner penetrates the pores of any material being cleaned. Steam effectively kills dust mites, viruses, molds, and fungi which are common causes of allergy thus, freshens your homes instantly. A wide variety of difficult cleaning household tasks can now be cleaned efficiently in lesser time with vapor steam cleaning. Furthermore, it only uses tap water as cleaning agent thereby eliminating the use of regular harmful cleaning fluids. In addition, vapor steam cleaning is the most ecologically friendly and effective cleaning system.

How does it work?

Often a vapor steam cleaner is mistakenly identified as a vacuum cleaner but it is not a vacuum. It is a cleaning machine that uses steam to quickly dry, clean, and sanitize surfaces.

Vapor steam cleaner uses a little water less than a gallon. Its boiler heats up the water to a high temperature to produce low moisture water vapor steam that can be used in an hour of continuous cleaning operation.

One great feature of a vapor steam cleaner is the low moisture vapor it produced. Low moisture means that the vapor steam consists only of 4 to 6% water which leaves surface almost dry.

For instance, cleaning a carpet using other method takes time to dry that may cause for mold spores to start proliferating. With the use of vapor steam cleaning, carpets will be completely dry in 15 minutes thus leaving no possibility for mold spores to grow. Moisture evaporates immediately after the vapor steam makes contact with a surface which makes it very ideal to use in cleaning carpets. Vapor steam cleaner loosen dirt in carpet fibers which rise to the surface then it is absorbed by using a towel attached to its steaming tool.

Vapor steam cleaning can clean and sanitized hard surfaces (like countertops) to soft surfaces (like upholstery). It does not require buckets, mops, sponges or even emptying out dirty water. It is an almost "mess free" way of cleaning.

Not messy and dries fast. Vapor steam is pure water and air. Its moisture content is just 5% that means no too much water is running on floors or put into mattresses and carpets. It does not leave surfaces or materials wet and smelly and that is why it is called the “free mess cleaning method”. With an average temperature, bed mattresses and carpets dry within 15 minutes. No need to carry heavy upholstery outside for drying.  

Heat effectively kills pests. The most economical form of pest control now is known as steam. Steam is extremely effective in controlling dust mite populations in carpet, bed bugs on mattresses and even fleas on upholstery.

Tecnovap Steam Machines’ Efficacy on Surfaces

Our steam cleaning equipment has been running on several microbiological tests by external laboratories. In the food industry where it is requested to keep a high level of hygiene, steam cleaning equipment is getting important.

Cleaning traditionally uses chemical detergent but it has been noticed that after rinsing a lot of water, chemical residuals remains on the surfaces. On the other hand, steam machines uses only the power of steam to clean that is why these chemicals are no longer needed. Moreover, the consumption of wasted water is intensely reduced.

An auto-control method of the hygiene level for the consumer's health protection is called the HACCP or Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point which played an important role on food industries most specifically.  

What is HACCP? HACCP is a method that fixes all the possible risks that can arise during the food production process. Every single stage is subjected to a careful analysis to determine the most critical risk points for the hygiene of a product in order to adopt the suitable counter measures. Registration and monitoring of all the factors that can constitute possible risks allows in finding the optimal attitudes to have a valid prevention.

Companies interested in HACCP are all those involved in the food industry from the transformation of first raw materials, production, stocking, restoration, distribution and transportation. Such are bars, coffee shops and confectionery; vegetable and fruit retailers; bake shops; fishmongers and butchers; pharmacies; hospitals, elderly houses, vets, recreation and other public places of hygiene interest.

Test Method: Steam Efficacy on Surfaces

Tecnovap has submitted one of its steam and vacuum cleaners to a recognized laboratory test to verify the efficacy of steam produced on the treated surfaces. Mainly, the purpose of this study is to test the anti-bacterial steam efficacy on the surfaces of Teflon and steel that is in contact with the foods. The steam machine has been used accordingly and the tested surfaces have been submitted to the bacteriological analysis.

Generally, the result shows that before treatment, the surface contamination is very high but after the exposure of 5 seconds of steam flow at the temperature of 105°C, it successfully killed 99.9% of bacteria. This only show that hot dry steam produced by Tecnovap steam machines having the true temperature, extremely reduces the bacterial contamination on surfaces efficiently.

Cleaning Advantages of Steam and Vacuum

About ten years ago, the first steam and vacuum systems were introduced in the market. Somehow, it is important to know the revolutionary concept of steam and vacuum cleaning. The level of hygiene in our homes and in other facilities was increased with the helped of steam cleaners. Steam has an incredible power to clean, disinfect and sanitize any kind of surface without using harmful chemicals. A house cleaned with steam is clearly noticeable from its appearance, smell and touch compared to a house that was traditionally cleaned.

Steam cleaning is indeed a remarkable technology for cleaning; however, professionals have understood that there were still margins of improvement. It is then they have started to develop steam and vacuum systems.

The Evolution and Advantages of Steam Vacuum Cleaner

Steam cleaner brush with cotton towel is what we generally use for steam cleaning floors. The function of the cotton towel is to collect the dirt melted by the steam. Apparently, cotton towel gets wet and full of dirt very quickly. Therefore, there is a need to replace the towel when it is full of dirt to prevent the risk re-depositing the dirt on the surface.

One concern that gave the professionals’ attention is how to secure the melted dirt and the killed germs that were all collected and deposited in a recovery tank (bucket). Another is the filtration system that can capture the dirt and micro-particles that may circulate back in the air, which may cause allergens.

Combining the function of wet and dry vacuum with the steam function was the ideal solution to solve this kind of gap and would actually be the next real challenge for the engineers. Considering that steam and vacuum machines are really high-tech machines that contain hydraulic, electronic, mechanic solutions, engineers must ensure that these elements should work together in order for a steam and vacuum cleaner give its best performance.

Innovation of vacuum to a steam cleaner then took place and after many trials and errors made, a steam vacuum cleaner was introduced in the market.

How it works? Steam vacuum cleaner can steam and melt the dirt on the treated surfaces then vacuums the dirt water thus leaving the floors cleaned, sanitized and dried. This steam vacuum machine has a brush head with removable rubber blades. Its function is to wipe the dirt water remained on the floor, and the suction collects it into the bucket. This method of steam and vacuum if effective and ensures all dirt and killed germs will be collected leaving the treated surface completely cleaned, sanitized and disinfect.

Filtration System. One great advantage of steam vacuum cleaners is the innovated filtration system that allows them to terminate bacteria on surfaces and allergens in the air. Traditional paper bags filter lets the collected dirt remain inside the bag of the machine for days until the bag is full and user replace it with new one, thus increasing the proliferation of germs and bacteria that could possibly re-enter into the environment. But with filtration system, these filters are designed to absorb even the smallest particles and can extract as low as 0.3 microns dust particles thus making it much more effective than a traditional paper bags filter.
