Above 120\u00b0C, the combination of pressure and steam creates a disinfectant effect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does steam disinfect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steam disinfection requires water heated to over 120\u00b0, 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So yes, steam acts as a disinfectant, using high temperature (up to 180\u00b0C) and high pressure (8 bars) with our IBL Specifik equipment to kill harmful micro-organisms.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steam cleaning is quick and easy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can steam disinfect, but our steam cleaning equipment makes disinfection quick and easy. By simply sweeping the surface, you can treat even the dirtiest spots. With just one blast of steam, you can clean and disinfect your air conditioning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steam disinfects and saves money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steam disinfection eliminates the need to use disinfectants and considerably reduces your water and energy consumption. Our steam cleaner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iblspecifik.com\/en\/produit-ibl\/industrial-steam-degreasing-equipment\/\">Steambio 10000 SP<\/a> For example, a single jet of steam can remove dirt and destroy germs thanks to the high heat generated under high pressure. Steam cleaning allows you to disinfect while saving money.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Respecting the environment with steam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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 (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meunier, 2009<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steam disinfects in all areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steam disinfection must be carried out regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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,&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yes, steam disinfects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That's why steam can be used to clean and disinfect surfaces from floor to ceiling.
