Maintaining proper hygiene is crucial for personal health and well-being, especially when it comes to mobility equipment. While many individuals may overlook the importance of sanitizing their wheelchairs or mobility scooters, it is never too late to prioritize one’s health.
When it comes to cleaning mobility devices, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth may not be sufficient. Standard cleaning solutions often fail to sanitize or eliminate bacteria and viruses effectively. However, at Mobility City, we offer a solution – the STEAM 220® program. This innovative program utilizes high-temp dry steam, which has been scientifically tested and proven to kill 99% of bacteria and viruses. What’s more, this sanitization process is safe for your equipment and gentle on your skin, as it eliminates the need for harsh chemicals. Let’s look at some of the benefits of mobility equipment sanitization:
- Enhanced Health
By sanitizing your mobility device, you can significantly reduce the spread of illness among yourself, caretakers, family, and friends. The elimination of harmful bacteria and viruses contributes to a healthier environment and reduces the risk of infections. - Prolonged Device Lifespan
Bacterial buildup can lead to corrosion and rust, compromising the longevity of your mobility device. Regular sanitization prevents such issues, ensuring that your equipment remains in optimal condition for an extended period. - Prevention of Cross-Contamination
Regular sanitization of mobility equipment helps prevent cross-contamination. By eliminating harmful pathogens from your device, you reduce the risk of transferring them to other surfaces or individuals. This is especially crucial in shared environments such as healthcare facilities or group living settings. - Reduction in Odor
Over time, mobility equipment can develop unpleasant odors due to bacterial growth. Sanitizing your equipment eliminates the sources of these odors, resulting in a fresher and more pleasant environment for both yourself and those around you. - Peace of Mind
Knowing that your mobility equipment has been thoroughly sanitized provides peace of mind. You can confidently use your device, knowing that you have taken proactive steps to maintain its cleanliness and reduce the potential for infections or health issues. - Overall Well-Being
Clean and sanitized mobility equipment contributes to your overall well-being. It promotes a healthier and safer environment, reduces the risk of infections, and enhances your comfort and confidence as you navigate your daily activities.
How Do You Sanitize Mobility Equipment?
Steam vapor machines have proven to be highly effective against a wide range of pathogens, including VRE, MRSA, and Gram-negative bacilli, such as P. aeruginosa. Research shows that selected organisms can be reduced to undetectable levels in less than five seconds following exposure to steam (Clin Microbiol Rev., 10/27/2014). This highlights the power of steam in destroying harmful organisms and ensuring a cleaner and safer environment.
