Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions: Why Dry Steam Steamers Are Your Best Bet

Many industries around the world have embraced the use of dry steam cleaning for its immediate, and powerful cleaning performance. In this article, we'll explore why dry steam steamers are a superior and eco-friendly cleaning option for commercial and industrial cleaning needs. 

What is Dry Steam?

Dry steam cleaners heat water inside an internal boiler to a high temperature. This causes the water to become a fine, dry mist. The vapour particles are smaller than steam particles, and this method of cleaning is referred to as “dry” vapour steam cleaning. The released vapour is only made up of about 5%-6% moisture content so surfaces dry quickly. 

When steam is released from the cleaner it softens dirt, grease, oil or other substances on surfaces, while using pressure to dislodge them, which takes much of the work out of cleaning. Surfaces are cleaned and sanitised without the use of chemicals.

What is Dry Steam Cleaning Used For?

Dry steam cleaners have been used primarily for general cleaning and sanitizing hard surfaces without chemicals. Applications include kitchen and bathroom grout cleaning, restaurants, supermarkets, schools, hotels, and apartment buildings. Dry steam technology has recently found its way into industrial applications such as cleaning up production machinery and equipment.

What Makes Dry Steam Cleaning an Eco-Friendly Solution?

1. Reduced Water Consumption: Traditional cleaning methods often rely heavily on water. In contrast, dry steam steamers use minimal water to generate dry steam. This means you achieve top-notch cleaning results with significantly less water usage, directly contributing to water conservation efforts.
2. Minimal Wastewater Generation: When dry steam condenses after cleaning, it forms a small amount of wastewater compared to conventional cleaning methods. This reduction in wastewater production means you have less water to treat or dispose of, leading to cost savings and a smaller environmental impact.
3. Eliminate the Use of Harsh Chemicals: Dry steam steamers produce steam at high temperatures and pressures. This unique combination allows for the efficient removal of grime, grease, and other stubborn substances from surfaces without the need for harsh chemicals, further reducing your environmental footprint.
4. Enhanced Cleaning Efficiency: Dry steam's ability to penetrate and eliminate tough contaminants translates to fewer cleaning cycles. This not only saves time and labour costs but also contributes to water conservation by reducing overall water usage for cleaning purposes.
5. Versatile Applications: Dry steam steamers are highly versatile and can be employed in various industrial and commercial settings. Their adaptability makes them an invaluable tool for water-conscious industries seeking sustainable cleaning solutions.

Dry steam steamers offer a host of cleaning advantages while also reducing water consumption, minimising wastewater generation, and enhancing cleaning efficiency. Dry steam cleaning solutions play a pivotal role in helping you become more environmentally responsible while saving costs in the process.
