Why is Steam Cleaning is so Important?

Commercial steam cleaning machines are able to heat water to temperatures of about 180 degrees Celsius. When steam of this temperature leaves through the nozzle of the steam cleaner it cools and expands considerably – so, that same litre of water leaving the steam cleaning nozzle at 130 degrees Celsius will produce half a cubic metre of dense dry vapour steam, considerably dense and ideal for cleaning.

The molecules of dry vapour steam are also considerably smaller than water molecules, which means they are able to penetrate in a far more intensive way compared with water, detergents or chemicals; resulting in a much deeper clean.

In addition, the dry steam is very hot at the release point meaning the targeted area expands significantly, and grime is far easier removed. An example of this is a stainless steel surface where steam expands the pores of the surface and flushes out any build-up that can’t be removed when you use normal cleaning methods.

There are also very important added advantages besides just the excellent cleaning power of steam. After the application of steam, there is no detergent residue left behind, and very little waste water (as opposed to cleaning with detergents.) This means minimal waste, no chemicals –  steam cleaning clearly has tremendous environmental benefits.
