For healthcare and childcare

Clean it without leaving anything on it.

Dry steam cleans rails, mattresses and nap mats with heat and very little water. Where no detergent is used, nothing is left on a rail a resident grips or a mat a child sleeps on.

The problem

Your protocol is followed. That is not the problem.

Whatever you clean with is still in the room when the cleaning is done.

A residue nobody can see

Disinfectant dries on the rail and stays on it until the next hand picks it up, whether that hand belongs to a resident or a child.

Fumes in a room nobody can leave

Concentrated product, several times a shift, in a room occupied by people already short of breath. Your cleaners breathe it for years.

A wet floor with people walking on it

Mopping leaves one, and a fall is what this sector plans its whole day around.

Why steam, here

A cloth wipes the face. Steam gets into the hinge, the seam and the wheel housing.

The steam itself needs no chemical, and it puts very little water on the floor. The 3000 and the INOX 6000 can also inject detergent where your protocol calls for it.

Six of the places it reaches:

  • Bed rails
  • Grab rails
  • Commode joints
  • Mattresses
  • Nap mats
  • Pram buckles

Inspection

What an inspection asks

Your kitchen is a food premises and it is inspected as one, whatever else the facility is.

What R638 asks of a facility kitchen

R638, the food premises regulations

It sets the standard your premises is held to and does not name a cleaning method. No supplier can tell you that a particular machine satisfies it. What a machine can do is make the surfaces it covers easier to keep at that standard.

What a cleaning record shows

Does steam cleaning replace our disinfection protocol?

No. It is a cleaning method that works with heat. It does not replace your infection prevention and control protocol, and it does not replace a clinical disinfectant where your protocol specifies one. Whoever owns that protocol assesses it and, if they adopt it, writes it in.

Does it reduce how much chemical we buy?

It can. By how much depends on what your protocol requires you to keep, and that's for whoever owns your protocol to decide.

What training do cleaning staff need?

We train your team when the steamer arrives, and it's short. Dry steam gets misused when people treat it like a pressure washer or work at the wrong distance.

Bring whoever owns your cleaning protocol into the conversation.

They own the protocol, so they'll have the right questions. A specialist will answer them and quote the steamer that suits the building.
