Why Steam Sterilization?
Steam, which is water vapor with temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius, deactivates virus pathogens , making it an ideal cleaning and sanitation tool for responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Harsh chemicals like clorox, lysol and hand sanitizer can break down and damage car interiors such as leather, cloth wood and plastic. Steam, on the other hand, does not.
According to the CDC: “Of all the methods available for sterilization, moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure is the most widely used and the most dependable. Steam sterilization is non-toxic, inexpensive, rapidly microbicidal, sporicidal, and rapidly heats and penetrates fabrics”
