Sanitisation of public transport

Cleaning and sanitising public means of transport: why is it essential?

Sanitising public transport is crucial to provide a safe and hygienic environment for passengers. This involves thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the interior of vehicles, including buses, trains, trams, and metros.

Procedures for sanitising public means of transport involve regularly cleaning frequently touched surfaces, such as handles, handrails, buttons, seats, and interior surfaces. This practice became even more essential during the COVID-19 pandemic, as public transport is a place where many people may come into close contact. Public transport companies, in collaboration with health authorities, have implemented specific protocols to ensure proper and regular sanitisation. Typically, sanitisation is carried out after each shift or working day. However, during health emergencies, such as during the recent pandemic, it is even more frequent.

Sanitising means of transport has become essential to ensure a safer and more comfortable environment for passengers and transport staff. Steam cleaners are one of the most effective solutions to achieve thorough cleaning and eliminate viruses, germs and bacteria without the need for chemical cleaners.  The high temperature and steam pressure are sufficient to eradicate pathogens using only heated water.

Sanitisation of buses

Who hasn’t used a bus, coach or tram to travel around the city or go to work? For many, these means of transport are part of their daily routine. Therefore, it is essential to pay special attention to the cleanliness of buses, both inside and outside the vehicle.

Steam cleaning is suitable for both cases. STI Steam Industry steam generators from the Car Detailing line can also clean car bodies, removing dirt and pollutants from the outside of the bus.

Using the same machine, it is possible to clean and sanitize the interior of the vehicle. This process includes cleaning the seats, floors, dashboards, and air intakes. The steam cleaner not only removes unpleasant odours but also eliminates viruses and bacteria. The advantage of using steam cleaners to sanitize public vehicles is that such cleaner uses only dry saturated steam, which eliminates the worry of damaging the vehicle’s equipment. Finally, because there are no detergents, there are significant economic savings, which contribute to greener and more eco-friendly cleaning.

Sanitization of trains

Imagine boarding a train and discovering not only a comfortable but also an impeccably clean environment. Train sanitisation is the process that makes this experience possible. It involves thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting train interiors, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment for passengers and railway workers.

People constantly touch different parts of trains: handrails, handles, buttons and seats. Train sanitisation using STI Steam Industry steam cleaners focuses precisely on these high contact areas, removing germs and bacteria through regular sanitisation and eventual use of any disinfectant recommended by health authorities.

Imagine a dedicated team working diligently every day to ensure that every area of the train is clean and safe. This includes disinfecting seats, floors, and all common surfaces, including toilets, to minimize the risk of spreading disease. The use of steam allows for thorough cleaning of even the most remote corners, making it possible to maintain a high standard of train sanitization.
