Above its boiling point, water turns to steam, breaking down the physical and chemical bonds that trap dirt and grease on the surfaces to be cleaned. Above 120°C, the combination of pressure and steam creates a disinfectant effect.
Why does steam disinfect?
Steam disinfection requires water heated to over 120°, high pressure and regular cleaning. IBL Specifik designs and markets high-performance steam cleaning equipment, and here we explain why steam cleaning is ideal in many sectors of activity.

Our steam cleaner Steambio 10000 SP For example, a single jet of steam can remove dirt and destroy germs thanks to the high heat generated under high pressure.

Respecting the environment with steam
Steam disinfection is an environmentally-friendly solution, because unlike conventional chemical products, this process is non-toxic and avoids the use of detergents or disinfectants by using the naturally degreasing quality of hot water, the mechanical effect of steam ejection pressure and the disinfectant effect of heat (Meunier, 2009).
Steam disinfects in all areas
Our steam cleaning and disinfection equipment is suitable for all sectors of activity. Whether you work in hospitals, industry, food processing, education or even transport such as aviation or public transport, steam disinfection with our products is recommended.
Steam disinfection must be carried out regularly
The remanence of a disinfectant is the length of time it remains active. It can last up to several days, depending on the products used. This concept is very important in disinfection, as it prevents the environment from being conducive to the proliferation of harmful micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, etc.). However, if the steam cleaning operation is regular, we can say that the steam disinfects the surfaces.
Finally, steam alone needs to be passed over all surfaces very regularly, otherwise the lack of residual effect encourages the development of harmful micro-organisms. With steam combined with a disinfectant, however, distance is irrelevant,
