Steam Controls Dust Mites, Bed Bugs, Fleas and Other Pests

Vapor steam cleaners produce an extreme temperature that proves to kill not only a wide range of pests but also their eggs thereby eliminating two generations at once and completely breaking the breeding cycle that an aggressive chemical treatments cannot do. 

Using steam to eliminate pests gives tremendous benefits to the users. 

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. At temperatures above 50°C or 120°F, dust mites, bed bugs and fleas are killed effectively with the use of vapor steam cleaner.

During or after treatment, you do not have to isolate or close off rooms. Steam is not health hazardous because it only uses water and not chemicals. You can treat a surface as often as you want. It does not leave residue that can damage or ruin your upholstery.

Vapor steam is not selective. This method will not only target bed bugs, dust mites or fleas but the steam can also kill viruses, germs and bacteria.

Using vapor steam cleaning is a highly effective and efficient method of killing individual species as well as bacteria and other unwanted microorganisms. Steam cleaners have different tools and attachments for cleaning hard to reach surfaces where most of the viruses and bacteria proliferate that can cause allergies; at more than 100°C temperature, vapor steam cleaning is very effective.

People who suffer from asthma or allergies, treating their rooms with the right cleaning approach is very important. Is it highly recommended to use Tecnovap vapor steam cleaner with vacuum such as Jetvac Pro. The vapor steam cleaner kills the pests and its vacuum feature enable you to eliminate both the pests and remove the waste and litter that often cause attacks and reactions. This method leaves the area fresh and safe for even extreme sufferers.

Steam is simple yet the most sustainable alternative for pest control and cleaning surfaces, which is far better than using expensive and toxic chemicals that will cause irritations and rashes.

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.

What Makes A Good Quality Steam Cleaner?

One important point for a good quality steam cleaner is to have a good quality steam. This steam is considered to be the powerful cleaning tool that can tackle every application successfully with exceptional results.     

Things to consider having a good steam  

• Operating pressure and temperature. 

• Installed power or wattage – a more wattage power the heating element has, the lesser time need the boiler to recover the pressure and temperature. 

• Steam passages are very important, the bigger the hole diameter the faster pressure reduction. Smaller hole ensures a dry steam that should be sufficiently humid to clean efficiently. 

• Boiler volume – steam cleaner should have a good steam dome capacity and a good water level to produced quality steam. 

•  Pressure and temperature control – steam cleaner having a digital control is more reliable and precise than the tradtional analigical system.
