Steam from the Optima Steamer is a deep-cleaning yet gentle method for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in the food industry. Worktables, walls, floors, tiles, handles, and stainless steel surfaces can be effectively cleaned and disinfected without the use of chemicals. The steam penetrates hard-to-reach areas such as joints, corners, and cracks where bacteria may otherwise accumulate.
A key challenge in the food industry is biofilm formation, which can develop on surfaces and be difficult to remove with traditional cleaning methods.
Research indicates that steam can be effective in breaking down and removing biofilm, as the high temperature (125-150°C) and pressure allow it to penetrate deposits and weaken their structure. This makes steam a valuable supplement in efforts to control biofilm and support a higher hygiene standard.
