Discharge Cleaning with Steam Vapour
Steam cleaning is well suited to deep restorative cleaning of heavily contaminated surfaces, particularly in awkward crevices, corners, and equipment components.
The ability to wash down and dry all surfaces within a room is a fundamental process for a discharge or terminal clean. Walls, floors, and mattresses need to be washed down and disinfected, and effectively dried off to stop the accumulation of bacteria.
Steps of a discharge clean include:
- Wash down all surfaces in a room (again, remember to start at the bottom, and work your way around the room in a clockwise direction)
- Walls, floors and mattresses need to be washed down and disinfected, preferably through the use of dry steam vapour.
- The dry element of the steam will stop surfaces from staying damp and accummulating bacteria.
- Dry all surfaces in a room. If you are using steam that is 5% water based, then your surfaces should be dry within 5 minutes of application.
