Professional steam cleaners and steam vacuum cleaners for disinfection cleaning

Hygienic and thorough cleaning with professional steam cleaners and vacuum cleaners

When cleaning walls, floors or furniture, germs, bacteria and viruses can be effectively fought with professional steam cleaners. The steam emerges from the nozzle in very fine droplets and, depending on the type of appliance, at a temperature of around 100 °C and a maximum pressure of up to 8 bar. The acceleration is about 170 km/h. Therefore, the steam reaches all cracks or rubber folds where brushes or cloths can hardly reach. In this way, hard-to-reach areas can be cleaned hygienically and thoroughly. If used properly, professional Kärcher steam cleansers SV(G) remove up to 99.999% of enveloped viruses*, such as the coronavirus or influenza, and 99.999% of common household bacteria** from hard surfaces. As at the present time disinfectants are to be reserved primarily for outpatient and inpatient care, steam cleaners can make a valuable contribution to general hygiene in commercial and industrial use.

_{*Tests have shown that with spot cleaning of 30 secs at max. steam level and direct contact to the cleaning surface with the Kärcher steam cleaner 99.999% of enveloped viruses such as coronavirus or influenza (excluding the Hepatitis-B virus) can be removed on common smooth household hard surfaces (test-germ: Modified-Vaccinia-Ankara-Virus).}

_{**When thoroughly cleaning with a professional Kärcher steam cleaner SG(V) 99.999% of all common household bacteria will be killed on common smooth household hard surfaces, provided the cleaning speed of 30 cm/s at max. steam level and direct contact to the cleaning surface (according to EN 16615:2015-06, PVC floor, test germs: Enterococcus hirae ATCC 10541)}
