Tests showed that with a maximum of thirty seconds contact with the surface at maximum vapour level, the steam brooms are able to effectively conduct a sanitisation process, eliminating the 99.999% of viruses encapsulated on floors and other surfaces.
While in fact a sanitisation process eliminates 99.99% of bacteria - and consists of the complex of processes and operations designed to sanitise certain environments by destroying or inactivating pathogenic micro-organisms - the sanitisation actual kills 99.999% of viruses and bacteria.
The steam electric brooms therefore perform a sanitising function thanks to the steam delivered and without the use of detergents or disinfectants, making them the most environmentally friendly tool for deep cleaning of domestic environments.
These instruments are equipped with a refillable water reservoir, which allows non-stop steam cleaning, and contains an anti-limescale filter cartridge that automatically descales the water, significantly increasing the life of the product.
The major benefits of carrying out household cleaning with a steam broom are:
When choosing a floor washer, special attention must be paid to the temperature at which steam is emitted; only at a temperature of 120° does steam enter the dirt as a liquid, not a gaseous substance.
The pressure with which the steam is thrown out is also important, the pressure should be within between 3 and 5 bar.
When steam at this temperature encounters dirt, it is able to neutralise the static load, which causes the dirt to come off the surface to be effectively removed..
