Is Steam Cleaning Really Effective?
Homes, offices, industrial kitchens, breweries, pharmaceutical plants, food processing facilities, and other businesses have begun to realize the benefits of chemical-free steam cleaning solutions. Using cleaning chemicals can create resistant strains of bacteria and other microorganisms and may also pose health risks to employees. With steam cleaning, businesses can clean without using chemicals. Steam cleaning is every bit as effective as chemical cleaning for eliminating dust, bacteria, mold, mildew, and more. Commercial steam cleaners kill 99.99% of germs and bacteria with nothing but heat and water.
How Do Steam Cleaners Work?
The machine boils water, which is then forced through the nozzle as pressurized steam. This heated vapor kills allergens and bacteria while loosening dust and dirt. With wet steam cleaning, the remaining condensation quickly dries, though in some cases it may be advisable to wipe down a heavily-soiled surface before it dries to remove any loosened grime more easily.
Dry steam offers a more versatile solution. There’s little moisture in dry steam—less than 0.5%. This means dry steam cleaners can be used in environments where cleaning with water isn’t safe or appropriate. Essentially, dry steam offers all of the benefits of a wet steam cleaner without the risk of damage to sensitive equipment.
What Can I Steam Clean?
Commercial steam cleaning is safe on many different surfaces, including tile, hardwood, grout, and carpet. It’s used in commercial and industrial facilities for sinks, floors, walls, tubs and tanks, stoves/ovens, grills, glass, and so much more. Dry steam cleaners can also be used around electronics and other sensitive equipment without the risk of damage. Dry steam cleaning also offers an ideal solution for equipment made from metals prone to corrosion, since the low moisture content won’t create corrosive conditions during cleaning.
If you’re not sure if you should use dry steam on a particular surface, Electro-Steam can help you determine the best solution for your application or develop a custom solution for your needs. We’ve provide steam cleaning equipment for:

Cleanliness is vital in hotel, restaurant, and commercial kitchens. Following proper sanitation guidelines greatly reduces the spread of illness and foodborne outbreaks (foodborne illness outbreaks. However, it can be difficult to understand exactly when and how to clean different areas of a commercial kitchen as this type of space will frequently contain a wide variety of equipment and surface materials.
Dry steam cleaners sanitize areas without the use of toxic (and harsh) chemicals, making them ideal for commercial kitchens that commonly have various equipment in tight spaces. At Electro-Steam, our commercial steam cleaners can reach temperatures of up to 240° F, well above the 160° F required to kill the majority of pathogens.
What surfaces should clean steam be used on?
Commercial kitchen steam cleaners are highly versatile and effective on a wide variety of surfaces, including:
Dry steam cleaners are able to scrub (clean) and sanitize the surfaces of grills, flattops, and burners as needed.
Countertops and Hard Surfaces. Since these areas frequently come into contact with food, they should be steam cleaned multiple times a day to prevent rapid growth of bacteria.
Exhaust Hoods and Vents. These areas should be steam cleaned every few months to eliminate the buildup of grease that could eventually restrict airflow.
Kitchen Ceiling and Walls. These areas require steam cleaning at least once a month, although bi-weekly cleaning may be necessary depending on the amount of grease and food particle buildup.
Kitchen Floor. Kitchen floors should be cleaned daily as they are prone to the accumulation of food particles, grease, and tracked-in dirt.
Ovens and Ranges. These should be commercial steam cleaned weekly, with particular attention to the door, racks, and walls of the oven.
Refrigeration Units. Although they may be less exposed to airborne grease and food particles, refrigerator condenser coils and surfaces still require regular steam cleaning (and are often a source of mold and mildew).
FAQs of cleaning commercial kitchens with steam
There are a number of questions you may have regarding the use of commercial steam cleaners. We will delve into a few of the most common.
Can I steam clean wooden kitchen cabinets?
Wooden surfaces often pose a problem as they can be easily damaged if exposed to the wrong type of cleanser. Fortunately, commercial steam cleaners are an effective method of cleaning wooden cabinets as long as the wood is sealed.

Kitchen steam generators are a beneficial tool in a variety of establishments as a method of sanitizing equipment or efficiently preparing food. In particular, steam generators are popular, cost effective tools utilized by a significant number of OEM and bakery equipment suppliers. Bakers will commonly use steam injection on bread and rolls as they are baking, a technique that helps prevent the crust from cracking, and creates an attractive, glossy crust.
To create the ideal final product, bakers must ensure they are utilizing high quality steam injection generators during the baking process. The quality of steam is determined by the volume of water droplets it contains. The lower the volume of water droplets, the higher the quality of the steam. Dry steam—that is, steam with no water droplets whatsoever—is considered the highest quality.
When choosing a steam generator for baking, electric steam generators are often the ideal choice. There are several factors that make electric steam generators appealing for a bakery setting:
Size
Convenience
Control
Versatility
As electric steam generators are quite small, they are easy to adapt to any sort of workspace and can fit into a variety of equipment. They do not require venting. Additionally, bakery equipment suppliers can plumb an electric steam generator directly to the oven, making it easier to provide high quality steam during the bake.
Kitchen steam generators have a number of benefits in a bakery setting. Unlike some other methods of cooking, steam is a consistent, reliable, and efficient way to operate the following equipment:
Ovens
Proofers
Steamers
Kettles
Warmers
Steam Tables / Bain-Maries
This amount of reliability is excellent in bakeries, where the final result depends so much on creating the correct cooking environment.
Additionally, steam generators are immensely versatile. Depending on the type of steamer, it can be either modular or freestanding, and can vary in size. This makes it possible to seamlessly incorporate a steamer into an existing bakery setup, and limits the amount of extra energy necessary. In fact, steam injection generators can be specifically installed in a way that limits the amount of ambient heat that enters the kitchen. This saves yet more energy, and is an excellent, cost-effective option for any bakery wishing to utilize steam.
At Electro-Steam, we provide high quality steam generators for commercial and industrial baking ovens. Our generators are highly efficient, producing 100% steam to ensure the best possible final product. They are suitable for any type of proof box, deck, or baking-type oven.

Advantages of Using Steam Sanitation
Steam sanitation offers an extensive range of advantages over traditional cleaning solutions, including:
Reduced Water Usage
Rather than using copious amounts of water to dilute or rinse chemical cleaners, steam cleaners simply use a small amount of contained, high-temperature steam.
Minimized Water Runoff or Overspray
With a steam cleaner, you don’t have to worry about excessive water usage or polluting runoff.
Ability to Clean Sensitive Surfaces and Equipment
Steam cleaners use high-temperature steam without excessive pressure, so you can use it on your heat- and water-sensitive components and materials.
Capability to Clean Hard-to-Reach Areas
Unlike manual cleaning with detergents, steam can reach into corners and cracks. It can also be used on fabric surfaces that are unable to be cleaned with standard chemical methods.
Cleans Without Harmful and Harsh Chemicals
Steam cleaning uses 100% heated water, thereby reducing worker and patient exposure to harsh and irritating detergents, solvents, and other cleaning chemicals.
Easily Removes Stains and Microbial Contaminants
Steam has been proven to kill 99.99% of microbial contaminants such as bacteria, mold, yeast, protozoa, and fungi. It can also be used to reduce odors and clean grease, oils, and stains.
Can Be Used Anywhere Without Breaching Clean Water Act Regulations
Since there are no harmful chemicals to rinse off, using steam cleaners helps you to operate within Clean Water Act regulations. In fact, with zero runoff, there is no need to worry about the Clean Water Act at all when you use a steam cleaner.
Highly Versatile Process
Steam sanitation can be used on a variety of surfaces and sensitive equipment that cannot be cleaned using traditional chemical methods.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
Because steam cleaning only uses superheated water, no polluting chemicals are released into the environment. In addition, steam equipment uses significantly less water than other cleaning methods.
3 Reasons to Use Steam Cleaning in Hospitals
Steam cleaning is particularly useful for hospital and medical sanitation. It is highly effective against microbes without contributing to the growing issue of microbial resistance, and it is environmentally safe and eco-friendly.
Steam Cleaning Is Seriously Effective
Whether you are cleaning a waiting room or an operating room, steam cleaning is a highly effective sanitation method that removes up to 99.99% of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and other microbes from a wide range of surfaces. It is highly versatile, which makes it ideal for use in disinfecting rooms, operating rooms, and examination rooms. It can also be used to clean sensitive medical equipment and devices to ensure sanitary conditions across the board.
Steam Cleaning Helps in the Fight Against Anti-Microbial Resistance
As bacteria and other microbes are exposed to detergents, solvents, antibiotics, and other agents meant to kill them, many are evolving high levels of resistance. Healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) are becoming increasingly common, and the methods used to prevent these infections may be making the problem worse. Anti-microbial resistance (AMR) is caused by this microbial evolution and can result in untreatable medical conditions and even death in patients who are exposed.
Fortunately, steam sanitization does not have the same effect on microbial growth. By using only heated water, steam can break down bacteria and other microorganisms and prevent replication without contributing to anti-microbial resistance, creating a healthier and safer environment for patients and workers alike.
Steam Cleaning Is More Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly
Since steam cleaning does not use harsh chemicals, it is more environmentally friendly than more traditional cleaning methods. In addition, steam cleaners use less water overall than standard cleaning solutions, thereby eliminating runoff and conserving water.
