What is the difference between sanitizing and cleaning?
Sanitizing kills bacteria, whereas cleaning removes dirt, dust, a number of bacteria but ultimately doesn't kill bacteria. Effective cleaning is paramount before sanitizing, as sanitizing will not work unless the area is free from visible contamination.
Using a steam and vacuum cleaner is a fantastic way to clean AND sanitize in one go, whilst also being safe and environmentally friendly. The steam will usually reach a temperature of around 120 degrees, deep cleaning and sanitising surfaces, penetrating cracks in the surfaces, tackling grease and oil, and killing bacteria.
