This document discusses the benefits of using saturated dry steam for industrial sanitizing over traditional cleaning methods. Dry steam requires only three stages - physical removal of dirt, cleaning with steam or steam/water/detergent, and drying. This is more efficient than the traditional six stage process. Dry steam is effective at killing pathogens due to thermal shock. It is also suitable for complex surfaces, does not damage delicate surfaces, saves water, and is environmentally friendly as it reduces detergent, water, and chemical waste. Studies show dry steam reduces bacterial contamination on surfaces to levels required by EU regulations. The document promotes dry steam cleaning for food, beverage, hospitality, and other industries.

Reference values for
EU regulation
Bactericidal and fungicidal efficacy of dry steam
Study sponsored by
Objective
Evaluation of the efficacy of dry steam treatment realised by menikini machines in order to
clean surfaces contaminated by bacteria and fungi.
Reference
Trials were based on the European Regulation related to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics with the aim
to evaluate the ability of dry steam to decrease bacterial and fungi contamination of surfaces.
List of EU rules:
EN 1040:2005 EN 1275:2006 EN 1276:2000 EN 1650:2000
Methods
One billion of colony forming units of each microorganism were uniformly distributed on a polymeric surface
(as used in food industry), previously cleaned to remove any contamination. After the distribution of the test
microorganism, the surface was treated with saturated dry steam. At the end of the treatment, bacteria on
the surface and in the residual condensation liquid were sampled and lab analysed by sterile pads.
Results
In vitro trials demonstrated that the treatment with saturated dry steam was
effective in the reduction of bacterial and fungal contamination of surfaces
The analytical values of bacterial and fungal contamination after treatment were always below the levels
indicated by the EU rules that refer to a decrease of 104
UFC for fungicides and 105
UFC for bactericides.
