Operating principle
Steam cleaning
Under normal ambient pressure, water boils (evaporates) at 100°C. This initially creates wet steam, i.e., steam with a very high water content. If this boiling process takes place in a closed system (steam boiler), higher temperatures are reached, and thus drier steam is also achieved. The higher the temperature and pressure, the drier the steam. If the water content approaches zero, one speaks of saturated or dry steam. Dry steam is achieved in the MediCleanTec Micro Cleaner at 9.5 bar and over 182°C.
The quality of the steam makes all the difference: less visual impairment, better penetrability, quick and residue-free drying. The high surface tension of water that is always in drop form stands in the way of any cleaning process. In order for the water to still be able to get under dirt, it is always used in conjunction with a cleaning agent when cleaning.
Steam, that is, condensed water, no longer has any surface tension and can therefore be used to clean without chemicals. The steam molecules, which are tiny in comparison to those of water, penetrate even the smallest microstructures on the surfaces and therefore achieve an excellent cleaning result.
Dry micro-steam cleans more hygienically and thoroughly than any other type of cleaning!
- Perfect hygiene and cleanliness – deep down – without chemicals and without residues!
- Environmental and health protection – chemicals and cleaning agents are only used in an “emergency”.
- Germs, bacteria and moulds are reduced/killed.
- Reduced costs and amortisation by saving on cleaning agents.
- Efficient and quick dislodging and removal of grease and stubborn dirt.
- Hygienic cleaning of mattresses, killing mites.
- Hygienic, deep-down cleanliness for all smooth and rough surfaces.
- Unpleasant odours are eliminated on textiles, in sanitary facilities, kitchens, etc.
- Gentle cleaning (with little moisture due to micro-steam) for sensitive machines and devices, wooden/parquet floors, textiles, etc.
- Highly efficient stain removal from carpets, upholstery, smooth floors etc.
- Streak/smear-free cleaning and removal of stubborn dirt and detergent residues on all smooth and rough surfaces (natural stone floors, plastic floors, wooden floors, non-slip floors, glass panes, tiles…)
- Effortless and extremely efficient cleaning in hard-to-reach places in the kitchen, in sanitary areas, rooms, bathrooms and toilets, on furniture, heaters, machines and devices, in joints and on rims, edges and corners, in blinds, drains, grilles, ventilation grids, slots, cars, bicycles, wheelchairs…
- Fast defrosting and hygienic cleaning of cold rooms, refrigerators, freezer cabinets.
Disinfectant effect on bacteria and viruses
Many bacteria – but also lots of viruses – cannot survive temperatures above 70°. Staphylococcus aureus is effectively eliminated in 2 seconds at 80°, and E. coli, at 55°.
The MediCleanTec Micro Cleaner reaches discharge temperatures that destroy many germs with the steam alone (depending on the accessories used, the distance and the nature of the surface). With this steam technology, we achieve up to a seven-log reduction in germs. The Micro Cleaner can thus contribute to significant germ reductions even during normal cleaning processes. This has been confirmed by an accredited laboratory. If you are interested in the study, please request it at the contact site.
