Four Reasons why Steam Cleaning Makes an Astute Commercial Choice

Sometimes, traditional cleaning methods just aren’t sufficient for certain purposes. Chemicals can’t always be used, and where infection control is necessary, there are only certain cleaning methods that fit the bill, particularly where food preparation and healthcare are concerned.

MRSA and other superbugs are a major concern and the solution preferred by the NHS and private healthcare providers for the most part tends to be steam cleaning. This would suggest that steam cleaning offers wider benefits. Here we look at the top four reasons behind these benefits. 

Reason 1: It reaches the parts other cleaning can’t reach

Steam kills germs, dissolves grease and sanitises surfaces. It infiltrates nooks, crannies, crevices and cracks, in other words, all the places traditional cleaning methods cannot reach. Steam cleaning attacks dust mites, germs, mould and fungus. It’s great on glass and mirrors where it leaves a streak-free finish, and perfect for cleansing fridges, freezers, work surfaces, filters and bins. 

Reason 2: It’s detergent free

Detergents don’t usually feature with steam cleaning, although it is possible to use them in certain settings. Where the use of detergents is not desirable, maybe where an environmentally friendly cleaning solution is preferred, the steam alone will deliver adequate cleaning and sanitisation power. In other words, steam cleaning can provide the ideal eco-friendly option. 

Reason 3: Quick-drying

Because steam evaporates rapidly, surfaces dry a lot quicker than they do with water. This makes for a far more efficient cleaning process. It also reduces water consumption and cuts labour costs. 

Reason 4: Highly Effective

Steam cleaning is effective in removing stubborn substances, for example glue, chewing gum and wax. It is suitable for most surfaces other than certain fabrics such as silk and velour, paper and cardboard and anything covered in water-based paint, but always remember to test an inconspicuous area before proceeding. 

Choosing a Steam Cleaner

There are various commercial steam cleaners on the market such as the Coccinella Commercial Steam Cleaner, one of the most popular models we sell. It works on kitchen and work surface grease, cooking equipment and hotplates and is ideal for sanitising waste receptacles, toilets, showers and changing rooms. In addition, this model will effectively clean glass mirrors; it powers through gum and is a powerful stain remover for upholstery and carpets.
