Höyrypesun

Höyrypesun, which translates to steam cleaning or steam washing in English, refers to a cleaning method that utilizes hot steam to sanitize and clean surfaces. This technique involves heating water to a high temperature, typically above 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), creating pressurized steam. This steam is then directed onto the surface to be cleaned through a nozzle or attachment.

The high temperature of the steam is effective at loosening dirt, grime, grease, and other residues, making them easier to wipe away. More importantly, the heat and moisture of the steam act as a disinfectant, killing a significant percentage of bacteria, viruses, mold, and dust mites without the need for harsh chemical cleaning agents. This makes steam cleaning an attractive option for individuals with allergies, sensitivities, or those seeking a more environmentally friendly cleaning solution.

Höyrypesun can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces, including hard floors like tile and laminate, carpets, upholstery, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, and even windows. The versatility and effectiveness of steam cleaning have led to its increased popularity in both domestic and commercial cleaning applications. Compact, portable steam cleaners are widely available for household use, while larger, more industrial units are employed for professional cleaning services. Careful consideration of the surface material is important, as prolonged exposure to high heat and moisture can potentially damage certain delicate materials.
