Oven cleaning – completely chemical-free

Thorough cleanliness without chemicals: clean ovens and extractor hoods effectively with dry steam

Cleaning ovens and extractor hoods is one of the more unpleasant tasks in the household. Particularly stubborn dirt, burnt-on grease and stuck-on food residues pose a challenge even for robust cleaning agents. Many people therefore resort to aggressive chemical cleaners - with unpleasant odors, health risks and often limited effectiveness. However, there is a much more effective and environmentally friendly alternative: cleaning with dry steam. This method is becoming increasingly popular - not only in professional catering, but also in private households.

Chemical-free, thorough and hygienic

Dry steam cleaning is based on the use of highly heated steam, which is emitted from the appliance at high pressure. Modern appliances such as the Micro Cleaner from Medeco use so-called micro dry steam. This consists of extremely fine steam particles that get into even the smallest cracks and hard-to-reach places - such as behind the guide rails in the oven or into the filters of the extractor hood.

A decisive advantage: the water content of micro-dry steam is only around five percent. This means that hardly any moisture remains, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive surfaces. The steam itself is heated to around 180 degrees and hits the soiled surfaces at a pressure of up to nine bar. This not only reliably dissolves incrustations and grease deposits, but also reliably kills germs, bacteria and fungal spores - without any chemical additives.

Cleaning the oven with steam - how it works

The strength of this method is particularly evident when cleaning the oven with steam. Food residue, grease splashes and burnt-on spots can be removed quickly and effortlessly with dry steam. Before using the appliance, coarse food residues should be removed with a damp cloth. Then fill the Micro Cleaner or a comparable appliance with water and heat it up.

Different attachments are used depending on the degree of soiling and type of surface - for example, brush attachments for coarser dirt, hand nozzles for working over large areas or microfiber cloths for gentle finishing. It is easy to use and requires no special training: simply pass the hot steam over the dirty surfaces, leave it to work for a short time and then wipe off the loosened dirt with a cloth.

The oven door, which is often heavily covered with grease films, can also be cleaned quickly and streak-free in this way. Even dirt trapped between the panes can be reached with special nozzle attachments, if accessible. Regular oven steam cleaning with micro dry steam not only ensures hygienic cleanliness, but also extends the service life of your appliance.

Ideal for sensitive materials

As Fritz Pattis, founder of the Green Cleaning concept, emphasizes, dry steam cleaning is also ideal for sensitive surfaces. This method has been used successfully in the catering industry for years, but there are also many possible applications in the private sector: Ceramic hobs, stainless steel extractor hoods, worktops made of real wood or cabinet fronts with high-gloss finishes can be cleaned gently and effectively.

The big advantage: no streaks, no residue, no surface damage. Oven steam cleaning with micro dry steam is a real relief, especially for high-gloss or sensitive materials, as no abrasive or corrosive substances are required.

Environmentally friendly and sustainable

Another plus point: cleaning with dry steam is extremely environmentally friendly. No chemical cleaning agents are required, which is not only good for the environment but also easy on the wallet. The appliances also use very little water - the Micro Cleaner, for example, only requires a small amount for a complete application, as the steam generated is very economical.

In addition, no harmful vapors or aerosols are released, which is a particularly important factor for households with children, allergy sufferers or pets. So if you prefer to clean your oven with steam instead of chemicals, you are making a decision for health, sustainability and efficiency.

Versatile use throughout the household

In addition to the oven, many other areas of the home can be cleaned with a dry steam appliance. Tile joints, window frames, radiator fins, taps, shower cubicles and even upholstered furniture and mattresses can be treated with the appropriate attachments. The high temperature also ensures effective removal of germs and mites - a real all-rounder when it comes to hygiene.

Kitchen areas in particular benefit enormously: refrigerator seals, microwaves, chopping boards, worktops and kitchen fronts can be kept clean effortlessly. In an area where food is handled on a daily basis, hygienic cleaning without chemical residues is particularly important. Here too, oven steam cleaning is part of a more comprehensive cleaning concept that uses steam to usher in a new era of cleanliness.

Conclusion: Cleanliness at the touch of a button - without any chemicals

Dry steam cleaning offers a convincing combination of thoroughness, gentleness and sustainability. Especially when cleaning ovens with steam, even stubborn encrustations are effortlessly removed - without scrubbing, chemical cleaners or lengthy soaking. The ease of use, enormous cleaning power and environmentally friendly application make micro dry steam appliances such as the Micro Cleaner from Medeco an indispensable helper in modern households.

Regularly steam-cleaning your oven not only saves time and effort, but also ensures hygienic cleanliness and a good feeling every time you reach into the oven. And best of all, it works with nothing more than pure water and a little technology - all in the spirit of a green, healthy lifestyle.
