How to Clean & Treat Gastro Outbreaks
Effective Sanitisation with High-Powered Steam Vacuum Cleaners
In the fight against gastro outbreaks, the use of steam above 60°C for disinfecting carpets, drapes, mattresses, and soft furnishings is widely recommended. Despite the known efficacy of steam cleaning in eliminating viruses that can survive in carpets for extended periods, many facilities lack the necessary equipment, posing a significant risk of outbreak continuation.


High-Temperature Steam: Efficiently kills viruses and bacteria on various surfaces without chemicals.

Deep Cleaning: Penetrates soft furnishings to remove and kill pathogens that are not eliminated by vacuuming alone.

Preventative Sanitisation: Offers a proactive approach to managing and preventing gastro outbreaks in high-risk areas.
