by Rebecca Walker — April 16, 2010—Nilfisk announced it is launching a complete steamer range to go along with its floor care products. The steam cleaners instantly clean and sanitize surfaces using superheated steam, says the company. They offer the benefit of being environmentally friendly, reducing the use of water and detergent by as much as 80 percent.
The machines are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, and can clean areas that other machines are unable to reach.
The Nilfisk development team is launching seven models, ranging from the SO4500 at 4.5 bar pressure to the MD8000 at 8 bar. Models are provided with hoses and extension tubes and are available with and without a vacuum function.
Dry steam cleaning offers many advantages over alternative methods, says the company. Soft materials such as upholstery and blinds can be cleaned in situ. Materials and surfaces are left clean and odor-free, with minimal amounts of water residue. Mold, bacteria, mildew and any remaining chemical contaminants are easily removed.
Commercial kitchen areas in supermarkets, factories and restaurants are particularly vulnerable to spills, stains and grease. With environmental health regulations and food standards increasing it is critical that areas can be cleaned quickly and effectively.
