What is Industrial Cleaning?

In short, industrial cleaning involves the use of specialist equipment and machinery to achieve a deep, thorough clean. If carried out regularly, this process can maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of an area, helping to ensure it meets the appropriate health and safety regulations, as well as providing pleasant conditions for employees to work in. Aside from using specialist equipment, specific cleaning products such as chemicals, solvents and agents, are likely to be used during the process. A specific method and technique may also be used depending on the type of clean that’s needed. The specialists carrying out the work will be able to determine exactly what is required to achieve the best results.

Here we explain the benefits of using high-pressure steam to clean in factories…

No harsh chemicals are used

Steam cleaning kills 99.99% of bacteria and doesn’t require the additional use of toxic and potentially harmful chemicals such as bleach or ammonia.

Steam cleaners have the ability to reach temperatures of up to two hundred degrees and works to remove grime, grease, and dirt. As well as cleaning, the steam also sanitises surfaces killing up to 99% of potentially harmful bacteria and germs, including mould, mildew, dust mites, bed bugs, and fleas.

Using steam is an efficient way to clean all kinds of surfaces, quickly and efficiently. Most industrial steam cleaners use dry steam, so no drying time is required.
