Revolutionizing Hygiene in Old Age Homes: How Dry Steam Cleaning Protects Our Loved Ones

The Retirement Home center for seniors, Elisabeth-Haus in Weibern (Rhineland-Palatinate), does not compromise on hygiene and relies on the particularly efficient way of cleaning with the innovative BlueEvolution Drysteam suction steam cleaning machines from Beam in Germany. This retirement village comprises three living areas, 83 bedrooms, and numerous cleaning challenges. The BlueEvolution S+ multifunctional drysteam cleaning machine ensures top hygiene and sterility in all areas of the nursing home. This innovative machine does not require cleaning agents; it works with hot, dry steam and thus removes even the most stubborn dirt effortlessly. Another significant advantage in practice: With the Drysteam suction machine from Beam (distributed in South Africa by https://www.drysteam.co.za), the user saves up to 60 percent of the time compared to conventional cleaning methods.

In the past, the common rooms, residents' rooms, sanitary areas, and the kitchen of the Elisabeth-Haus Retirement Home had to be laboriously cleaned with rags, brushes, and buckets. The cleaning staff found this problematic because conventional cleaning risked not effectively removing dirt and germs but rather spreading them throughout the premises.

Fresh Room Environment

"Anyone who lives or works in an open-plan senior citizen Retirement Home Center knows that pathogens can quickly spread throughout the facility. To protect the health of the residents and nursing staff, we must make no compromises regarding hygiene. I am pleased that we have found two optimum solutions for our high demands with the steam suction systems from Beam," says Petra Hühmann, owner and manager of Elisabeth-Haus. "Above all, our employees enjoy the versatility of the steam suction systems when working with the BlueEvolution S+, because with this device, almost all surfaces in our facility can be cleaned quickly and easily."

The Elisabeth-Haus Retirement Home is based on the individual needs of its residents and offers, in addition to 83 full-time rooms, short-term, day, and night care. The offer is rounded off with an outpatient nursing service, care advice, home nursing, and meals on wheels. The senior center employs a total of 100 people.

German Engineering Excellence

The BlueEvolution S+ from Beam works at a pressure of 8.0 bar, creating a steam temperature of up to 170 degrees Celsius, effortlessly eliminating even stubborn dirt. For improved handling, it can be equipped with an optional new power handle that can be individually adjusted to the user's body size. It is height-adjustable up to 30 cm and is suitable for both right and left-handers.

Beam's steam suction concept is revolutionary yet simple: it vaporizes and extracts in one operation, saving users around 60 percent of the time needed for cleaning. Additionally, the machines are filled exclusively with water and operate without any chemicals, protecting the environment and indoor air quality. Another practical advantage is that because the units work with hot, dry steam, the surfaces are immediately dry after the suction process, reducing the risk of senior residents slipping and falling due to wet floors.

Benefits of Dry Steam Technology for Old Age Homes:

Uncompromised Hygiene: The high temperatures and dry steam effectively kill harmful microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for residents and staff.
Allergen Reduction: Dry steam cleaning effectively removes allergens like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander, providing relief for residents with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Chemical-Free Cleaning: With no harsh chemicals required, dry steam cleaning eliminates the risk of exposure to potentially harmful substances, creating a safer living space for seniors.
Time and Labor Savings: The efficient cleaning process can save up to 60% of the time compared to conventional methods, allowing staff to focus on other essential tasks.
Odor Elimination: Dry steam penetrates deep into surfaces, effectively removing odors caused by spills, incontinence, or other sources, improving indoor air quality.
Versatile Cleaning: From resident rooms and common areas to bathrooms and kitchens, dry steam cleaners can tackle a wide range of cleaning tasks with ease.
Slip and Fall Prevention: Surfaces dry quickly after cleaning, reducing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, which are a significant concern in senior living facilities.

Robert Wiedemann, Managing Director of Beam GmbH, is particularly pleased about the positive feedback from Elisabeth-Haus Retirement Home. "More and more healthcare facilities are turning to the natural way of cleaning with hot, dry steam. For us, this is an absolute boom market." With targeted training courses and demo schedules, Wiedemann and his team offer additional valuable support to executives from the areas of cleaning, housekeeping, and hygiene officers.

The BlueEvolution S+ model (10.0 bar, 180 degrees Celsius) and Limatic are ideal for Retirement Homes, Clinics, Hospitals, Hostels, and other communal residential areas that need to be kept clean and germ-free.

The innovative BlueEvolution Drysteam suction systems, with robust stainless steel housing and four freely moving casters, ensure high flexibility and cleanliness – even in hard-to-reach places. Thanks to the large number of different top nozzles, the BlueEvolution series of cleaners can thoroughly clean a wide variety of surfaces. All models also have an additional hot water module for tackling the toughest dirt and soiling.

As a special feature, BlueEvolution features a UV light underneath the waste tank that completely eliminates any remaining germs. The dissolved dirt particles end up in the water filter, where they get trapped. The germs contained in the dirty water are killed by the patented UV blue light, efficiently cleaning the air with every suction process.
