Our IBL products: professional cleaning equipment

Steam cleaning and disinfection are cleaning methods that use pressurized steam to remove dirt, stains and pathogens from surfaces. This involves the use of specific equipment, such as professional steam cleaners.

Steam cleaning and disinfection offer several advantages over traditional methods:

• Hot water steam effectively removes dirt, stains, grease and residues without the use of harsh chemicals.
• It penetrates deep into surfaces, eliminating pore-bound bacteria, viruses and mites.
• It cleans and disinfects simultaneously, providing a faster, more efficient process.
• It generally does not damage sensitive materials such as upholstery or delicate coverings.
• It offers an environmentally-friendly method, reducing chemical and water consumption.

The pressurized steam generated by all professional steam cleaning equipment dissolves dirt and contaminants on surfaces. The heat of steam also contributes to the destruction of pathogens, by exposing them to high temperatures which eliminate them.

Steam can be used to clean and disinfect a wide range of surfaces, including floors, carpets, upholstery, tiles, windows, sanitary appliances, kitchen equipment, metal surfaces and much more.

Steam is generally safe to use on most materials commonly encountered in professional environments, such as glass, metal, tiles, heat-resistant plastics and so on. However, some sensitive materials such as unsealed wood or delicate painted surfaces may require extra care. We recommend consulting the manufacturer's instructions or carrying out a preliminary test on a small area before proceeding to full cleaning.

The use of professional cleaning equipment for steam cleaning and disinfection reduces dependence on aggressive chemicals, contributing to better indoor air quality and environmental protection. What's more, water consumption is generally reduced thanks to the efficient use of steam, compared with traditional methods which often require larger quantities of water.

 Yes, steam cleaning is effective in removing allergens such as dust mites, pet dander and mold. The high heat of steam eliminates these allergens, which can help improve indoor air quality and reduce allergy-related symptoms.

Pressurized steam is capable of killing many types of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens. However, it's important to note that some micro-organisms may be more resistant to heat, requiring longer exposure or additional disinfection methods.

Yes, the use of steam cleaning greatly reduces, if not completely eliminates, the need to use harsh chemicals. Hot water steam has natural cleaning and disinfecting properties, making it a more environmentally and health-friendly alternative.

Steam cleaning and disinfection can offer significant economic benefits to a business, including:

• Reduced costs associated with the purchase of cleaning chemicals.
• Reduced labor requirements thanks to the efficiency and speed of steam cleaning.
• Increased surface life thanks to regular deep cleaning.
• Improving customer satisfaction by providing a clean and healthy environment.
