THE BENEFITS OF CLEANING WITH STEAM

Nothing is more natural than cleaning with steam.

Saving time is very important when it comes to cleaning. The cleaning process of steam is quicker, and there is no need for rinsing and drying. The fact that no residual sediment is deposited by steam. Thus preventing the surface from quickly becoming dirty again. This means you do not have to clean with the same regularity, leaving you with additional free time.

As there is No chemical residue remaining on surfaces. Windows that were previously dull become clear and sparkling, tiled floors that have lost their shine glisten again, delicate surfaces no longer look streaked and greasy, fabrics and carpets no longer get sticky.

Close observation of the traditional cleaning methods show that it has hardly evolved over the centuries, and modern mechanisation is hardly ever used. Buckets, floor cloths, brushes and manual power are still the most common equipment used for cleaning. All these old cleaning methods can be quickly replaced by steam cleaning, a much more comfortable and less tiring method.

The temperature generated by condensing steam is higher than the temperature of any hot water that could be used by hand. The health benefit of this is exemplified in hospitals, where steam is considered as a disinfectant if used in certain circumstances.

PROPERTIES OF STEAM

Steam is able to transmit the energy that created it, and to utilise this energy at the point when it condenses. At this precise moment, it recreates a new energy generated by this natural process. This is why steam has 15 times as much energy as hot water. The particles that make up the dirt change their structure under the effect of sudden heat. Some go soft or liquefy; others contract, thus loosening their hold on the surface, as the effect of heat begins to work.

That is why Domena talks of active forces/energies that replace the chemical agents in the cleaning process.

Notes and advice:
Do not over apply steam on the same spot, as this only contributes to heating the surface overall and spreading the dirt. This can be observed with a tar spot on a car
body (the aim is to heat tar, not the body).
Furthermore, too much steam brings large amounts of water droplets through condensation which has to be wiped away. An example of this is seen when
a user notices too much excess water when cleaning windows.
The steam output should be adjusted to the speed at which the cleaning task is
carried out.

Purifying Air
Regularly disturbed by our movements around a home, the air we breathe is full of dust, allergens and even unwanted smells. Steam projected into the air (towards the ceiling of a room) is the easiest way to purify the air. Small dust particles hanging in the air act as surfaces and hold steam. These particles join together thanks to steam. Because they are now heavier, they drop to the floor where they can be easily collected. Therefore, we can say that steam purifies and deodorises the air in the home. Liquid particles in suspension gather and create bigger particles

The anti dustmite effect of steam
On mattresses and other similar surfaces that can withstand the temperature of steam.
At Domena's request, two specialists carried out tests. These tests prove that steam (if correctly used) can kill dustmites and their allergens. The tests were on mattresses that contained dustmites.
