At La Providence, cleanliness is our core business. Every day, we strive to make your workspaces more pleasant and comfortable. Cleaning is first and foremost about dust removal and disinfection, and some of the techniques used by our employees, though highly effective, may be unfamiliar to the general public. Yet, certain tools ensure remarkable results at a lower cost for our employees, the company, and the environment.
This is particularly true of steam cleaning, which, using only steam and no added detergents, effectively removes stubborn stains with minimal effort while being environmentally friendly and conserving water. How does it work? What are the benefits of using such a method?
What is steam cleaning?
The principle of steam cleaning is to direct a jet of hot water vapor onto the area to be cleaned. This action removes stains, loosens deposits, and cleans surfaces. Essentially, water is poured into the tank, and once the cap is closed, it is brought to a boil under pressure by a boiler. The user then activates the switch. Either a cleaning cloth is moistened, or a jet of steam is released through specific attachments designed for various cleaning tasks. The higher the steam flow, the faster and more efficient the cleaning action: the cloth moistens more quickly, and stains or deposits are easier to remove.
What are its benefits?
Deep cleaning
Natural steam, produced by high-temperature water, has a strong hygienic power. One of the main advantages of steam cleaning is impeccable cleanliness and deep hygiene. Numerous tests, conducted by independent laboratories, have shown that up to 99% of bacteria can be eliminated with a steam cleaner.
For all surfaces
Floor and tile joints, mirrors, sanitary fixtures (sinks, toilets, etc.), curtains, and fabrics are just a few of the surfaces we can quickly disinfect using steam cleaning.
Easily eliminates dust mites and allergens
Dust, mites, and mold are the main enemies of air quality in your workplace. As mentioned in our article on dust, it harbors tens of thousands of mites, which can trigger asthma, irritations, and sneezing in allergic individuals. Unlike traditional systems, steam cleaning effectively eliminates mites and other allergens, improving the quality of life in the workplace for your employees.
Removes foul odors
Thanks to the efficiency of steam cleaning, we can also remove unpleasant odors from sofas, carpets, and rugs, as well as sinks and sanitary facilities.
Environmentally friendly
Using less water to clean and zero chemical products means greater care for the environment. Additionally, new-generation steam cleaners are specifically designed to reduce energy consumption by 25% and water consumption by 30% compared to earlier models.
Eases employees' workload
Dealing with tough stains? Embedded grease or surfaces that need washing and rinsing? With steam cleaning, our employees simply need to fill the tank with water and wait a few minutes to produce a steam jet capable of cleaning any surface quickly and effortlessly.
As you can see, steam cleaning is an effective system used by our trained employees, mastering all cleaning techniques, to provide you with the most suitable service for your needs.
