Daimer Industries® is a world renowned provider of cleaning machines for a wide array of commercial and industrial applications across the globe. As an example, Daimer®'s KleenJet® steam cleaners have stood apart from their crowd with their high temperature steam production, advanced technologies, high quality composition, and versatile nature. It is this versatile nature, paired with superior cleaning power, that enables KleenJet® operators to kill bed bugs with steam.
Infestation by bed bugs is becoming a growing problem among businesses, particularly in cities where tourism rates are high. Despite continuous sanitization endeavors, hotels, motels, resorts, bed-and-breakfasts, inns, colleges, apartment buildings, cruise ships, and other facilities where guests rest are at risk of bed bug infestation. Once infested, not only are mattresses infiltrated, carpets, clothing, curtains, purses, bedding, walls, nightstands, headboards, bed frames, couches, reclines, and floors are at risk, as well.
To effectively eliminate all bed bugs present in a relatively short amount of time, the application of high steam temperatures is necessary. For this reason, more and more managers and owners of hospitality facilities and other businesses are turning to Daimer®. Daimer®'s KleenJet® steam cleaners are the ideal machines for ridding these facilities of bed bugs once and for all. Let's examine the required components of an efficient bed bug steamer.
If bed bugs have one weakness, it is heat. High temperatures can effectively kill bed bugs in all life stages, including eggs. The lethal temperature for bed bugs is as low as 113°F. However, infested surfaces must be exposed to this temperature for up to an hour to effectively kill all bed bugs. Higher steam temperatures translate to much faster kill rates.
Daimer® offers advanced steam cleaner machines with temperatures up to 386°F for rapid bed bug elimination. After all, the most effective way to kill bed bugs is with the application of high temperature steam. For greater sanitization, Daimer® offers KleenJet® ATIS® models that can be used to steam bed bugs and eliminate more than 99% of bacteria and mold, as well. This advanced disinfection and cleaning power is essential in maintaining a clean, welcoming environment for guests.
Clearly, high temperature steam is the most efficient method for complete removal of bed bugs. However, there are other factors to consider as well, including the water content of the steam produced. After all, bed bug elimination requires the application of steam onto a variety of slow-drying materials, including mattresses, couches and cushioned chairs, curtains, and more. High density steam can leave these surfaces soaked, promoting mold growth. As such, it is recommended to utilize a low-moisture bed bug steam cleaner emitting dry vapor steam.
All of Daimer®'s powerful vapor steam cleaner machines generate dry vapor steam with a super-low water content of only 5%. This enables quick killing and elimination of bed bugs from mattresses and other porous materials without the additional risk of mold growth.
The models Daimer® designates for elimination of bed bugs also provide simultaneous extraction, in addition to the powerful, high temperature dry vapor steam. Such extraction capabilities increase the speed and overall efficiency of the bed bug removal process by extracting killed bed bugs, eggs, and waste.
Even with the best equipment, steam cleaning bed bugs is a difficult task. To accommodate the demanding needs in bed bug removal, use of a commercial-grade bed bug steam cleaner is recommended. Daimer®'s robust commercial-grade steam cleaning machines offer an array of benefits for hospitality maintenance professionals. Let's examine additional features of KleenJet® steam cleaning machines designed to make the job of bed bug elimination easy.
To kill bed bugs with steam requires continuous application of high temperature steam to all surfaces where bed bugs may have infiltrated. As such, Daimer®'s KleenJet® steam cleaning machines designed to steam bed bugs include Continuous Refill Technology. This technology enables operators to refill the machine during operation. Systems lacking this technology require operators to shut down the machine, refill, and wait for the system to come back up to operating temperature before proceeding. When handling intensive applications, like bed bug elimination, this unnecessary refill time greatly reduces productivity. This is why purchasing a KleenJet® system with Continuous Refill Technology is key.
Another important factor in selecting a bed bug steam cleaner is to look at available accessories. Generally larger brush heads are ideal for killing bed bugs. Concentrated steam emitted in a jet from tips of smaller diameters can blast bed bugs and eggs of surfaces, before they are killed. This makes the elimination process more difficult, as more surfaces must be treated and all bugs may not be killed. Another method is to cover the brush head fitted onto the machine with a microfiber towel, so that bristles do not fling off bed bugs. To meet the needs of this application, and many others, Daimer® includes over 36 parts and accessories with each of its steam cleaning machines, providing the utmost in versatility for a range of different applications.
Last, but not least, quality is a significant feature of Daimer®'s KleenJet® steam cleaning machines. Stainless steel boilers with lifetime warranties, removable heating rods, and rugged exterior housing are just a few of the high quality components included with each machine.
