Products for life
We sometimes think that we own nature – the truth is
that we are only a part of it. And the way we treat na-
ture will directly affect our children! We at Medicleantec
believe that waste should be prevented whenever pos-
sible. And with this cleaning system we have found a
solution that is ecologically practical and makes good
economic sense. Because products for life are only
purchased once and disposed of once.
The Medicleantec Micro Cleaner is not available in the
conventional retail or wholesale markets. It offers out-
standing quality standards as well as extraordinary gu-
arantees – and therefore it just doesn’t compare to any
other commercially available product.
Commonly available steam cleaners generally work at
low pressure (approx. 3 to 4 bar) and, therefore, at low
temperatures. This creates a very wet steam with low
cleaning capacity which can damage wood surfaces,
for example. This is the reason why many such ap-
pliances often end up in the basement and are only
rarely used.
Many manufacturers therefore offer steam vacuum
cleaners that suction excessive moisture directly du-
ring the cleaning process. This results in the applian-
ces being larger and their hoses being thicker and hea-
vier. Numerous market analyses show that household
appliances will only be used on a regular basis if they
are light, small and convenient. Furthermore, these
appliances will only function when the steam is not too
hot and/or wet – which is contrary to one of the basic
rules of effective steam cleaning: because less heat
means less cleaning capacity. The terms micro steam,
micro steam or heat cleaning are used in describing
appliances that operate with high temperatures and
pressures (beginning at approx. 160° C and approx.
6 bar pressure).
Larger heating elements and comprehensive safety
features are generally necessary in order to generate
more heat and pressure. The appliances are therefore
larger and more cumbersome. Thanks to the extra-
ordinarily powerful AKU-THERM-COMPACT heating
system used in the Medicleantec, it is possible to ge-
nerate a very high working pressure of up to 8 bar
even in relatively small boilers. The result is an enor-
mously powerful appliance which is practical in size
and suitable for every household.
The major advantage of cleaning with micro
steam is that fabrics and other surfaces do not
become wet but only slightly damp. The high
temperatures and speed at which the steam is
discharged removes dirt and dust from its carri-
ers. The high temperature of the steam therefore
has a “releasing” effect. The hot steam particles
penetrate the materials, liquefy the dirt and then
draw it out from the carrier. The speed at which
the steam is discharged is also a crucial factor
here: higher the steam pressure, higher is the
speed at which it is discharged and therefore the
force of the steam.
