Steam Australia steam cleaning equipment

Steam Australia’s range of steam cleaning equipment enables businesses to maintain an effective cleaning and sanitation program.

When using sanitisers, care must be taken not to leave any residues on the surfaces treated, as these may contaminate the food. It is also necessary to keep facilities as dry as possible as bacteria can proliferate in stagnant water. The low moisture content involved in steam cleaning leaves little water behind to stagnate.

High temperatures can play a role in the elimination of bacteria. The high temperature produced by a steam cleaning machine can eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, according to the company. Steam cleaning sanitation can decrease the possibility of sanitiser-resistant strains developing, which can occur when using certain chemical sanitisers.

The use of saturated steam technology can simplify the sanitising process and reduce the risk of chemical contamination. According to the company, it is a quick, safe, economical and environmentally sound method of sanitising surfaces in the food manufacturing industry.

Steam can clean nooks and crevices that often cannot be reached by hand. Cleaning with steam is also suitable for food environments where water cannot be used as vapour steam is dry and will not wet surrounding areas.
