There is growing concern about the increase of Staphylococcus Aureus (staph) infections, in particular methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), in the Australian Health Care and Aged Care system. In the past methicillin-susceptible (but penicillin resistant) staph had accounted for most hospital staph infections. However in recent years MRSA has evolved and is now responsible for approximately 80% of all Staph isolates reported. Not only are hospitalised staph infections increasing in frequency, but new strains of the super bug have been discovered displaying greater resistance to a wider range of antibiotics.
Healthcare Problem
In health facilities, this MRSA generally spreads via staff, patients and inanimate contact objects. Even if there are detailed precautions in preventing MRSA to spread from staff and patients; still current cleaning methods for inanimate contact objects are very reactive.
Tackling the MRSA Problem
There is already plenty of scientific evidence to support the use of dry steam vapour cleaning with microfibre cloths as an effective means of destroying super bugs like MRSA.
The Steam Solution
For many years steam has been renowned as the worlds most reliable disinfector as heat kills bugs. With boiler temperatures of up to 190ยบ C Tecnovap dry steam cleaners have proven to destruct bacteria in moments, even on textile surfaces. Tecnovap dry steam is more effective than old mops, rags and dangerous chemicals.
