The Benefits of Dry Steam for Industrial Cleaning

When tough cleaning tasks arise in factories, kitchens, or food-grade facilities, dry steam cleaners offer a powerful, eco-friendly solution. 

Pure Steam Cleaners’ I6‑SO and I6‑SV models shine in performance and sustainability, making them ideal for industrial environments that need deeper sanitisation, faster drying times, and reduced chemical use.

How Dry Steam Works

Dry steam is superheated to around 165°C and delivered at high pressure (typically ~6 bar). 

This potent combo loosens dirt, grease, and grime without overwetting surfaces, leaving areas ready to use much faster than traditional cleaning. 

Dry steam penetrates cracks and seams, ensuring hygienic cleaning with minimal downtime.

Dry steam also plays a vital role in supporting health and safety compliance across regulated industries. 

• In food production environments, it helps meet HACCP and BRC standards without introducing chemical residues.
  
• In healthcare, it ensures clinical-grade sterilisation with minimal disruption to operations. Because it uses such a small volume of water, dry steam is ideal for areas with limited drainage or strict moisture control. 

Maintenance teams love dry steam’s portability and adaptability, especially in facilities with varied surface types. Ultimately, dry steam isn’t just a cleaning method, it’s a smart, forward-thinking investment in operational efficiency, hygiene, and sustainability.

Key Advantages of Dry Steam

1. Deeper Sanitisation

High temperatures instantly kill up to 99.9% of bacteria and pathogens, making them perfect for facilities with strict hygiene requirements.

2. Lightning-Fast Drying

Because dry steam uses little water, surfaces dry quickly—cutting cleaning time and lowering slip hazards.

3. Less Chemical, Lower Costs

Steam cleaning relies on water vapor alone, slashing chemical purchases, storage expenses, and environmental impact.

4. Versatility

One machine can handle metal equipment, concrete floors, tiles, grout, and upholstery—simply swap attachments for different surfaces.
