How to use steam cleaning in a professional environment and what disinfection standards are ensured? Germs, pests or simply stains.

Steam cleans hygienically with the steam cleaner

Cleaning "hygienically" means eliminating all contact with bacteria, germs, dust mites, fungi, and pollen, eliminating any possibility of harming pathogens and disease carriers. Nothing escapes the steam used in a steam cleaner, not even the smallest particle of dirt, and thus a beneficial effect against common dust allergies is guaranteed. Fungal and bacterial cultures are effectively eliminated thanks to the high temperature generated by a steam cleaner, especially Polti professional steam cleaner models.

You only have to flick through the pages of a newspaper to realize how fundamental hygiene and concern for the environment are to our well-being and health.
Proper, deep cleaning, capable of disinfecting and therefore destroying bacteria and fungi, is absolutely essential to prevent even serious illnesses and ensure a healthy, decontaminated environment. Bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family, for example, can proliferate in places where raw materials of animal and plant origin and food are stored and processed. They can pose a threat and be the cause of numerous illnesses. These bacteria are characterized by a high sensitivity to heat, as demonstrated by tests carried out by the Breda Scientific Institute with Polti multifunction appliances.
Enterobacteriaceae were radically destroyed and brought to zero after just 5 seconds of exposure to Polti steam, followed by vacuuming! The temperature and high pressure of Polti steam allow for disinfection without the use of detergents or disinfectants. Science confirms this. Cambridge University has proven that Polti steam generated by a steam cleaner can destroy 98% of dust mites on a carpet, rug, or mattress, with an 86% reduction in allergens.

The effectiveness of steam in decontamination

The Lyon Dermatological Hospital, on the other hand, verified the effects of Polti steam cleaners when it comes to decontaminating laundry and premises from scabies-carrying mites. Dust mites, exposed for five seconds to the steam jet emitted by Polti steam cleaner boilers, were radically eliminated. The General Clinical Studies Center in Tokyo has shown that Polti steam cleaners can eliminate any type of bacteria. These results leave no doubt: Polti's high-temperature, high-pressure steam boilers are capable not only of reducing the number of live mites but also of denaturing allergens and their products, exerting a valuable decontaminating action. This result has once again been confirmed by the British Allergy Foundation, which has awarded Polti products the "Seal of Approval."
