Medeco Cleantec – Hygienically Clean without Chemicals

Hygienic cleaning without chemicals? It's easy with Medeco Cleantec's Green Cleaning solutions. Thanks to micro-dry steam technology, you can eliminate the need for chemical cleaning agents while protecting the environment, your health, and your wallet.

Three Sustainability Facts about Medeco Cleantec Products

  1. Using micro-dry steam for cleaning saves 90 to 95% of water/wastewater and eliminates the need for chemicals and microplastics.
  2. It protects the health of employees, guests, patients, and customers by preventing irritation to the skin and respiratory tract from harmful substances.
  3. The savings in costs, time, water, and emissions are considerable, both for professional hotel cleaning and for private households (the devices differ primarily in size).







At Medeco Cleantec, Green Cleaning means: cleaning without compromise — in terms of hygiene, the environment, or health. What started as a small family business in 2012 has grown into a team of around 70 people with locations in Germany and Austria. Their mission: to eliminate cleaning products from everyday life and demonstrate that cleaning with micro-dry steam is more sustainable, efficient, hygienic, and economical than conventional methods.

 

What was the inspiration behind Medeco Cleantec?

The initial idea for Green Cleaning came from a personal place: founder Fritz Pattis searched for gentle, residue-free alternatives to chemical cleaners due to his son's allergies. Without success. Years later, while planning and cleaning photovoltaic systems, he encountered the same problem: cleaning agent residue. They not only reduce the performance of the PV modules, but also attract new dirt. This experience provided the decisive impetus for developing Green Cleaning, Pattis explains. He adds: "Every form of chemical cleaner leaves traces to which dirt and germs can reattach themselves. Micro-dry steam breaks this cycle."

Questions & Answers about Medeco Cleantec

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Medeco Cleantec and the dry steam cleaning process.

How does micro-dry steam cleaning work?

Micro-dry steam is produced by heating water to very high temperatures (180-200°C) under high pressure (9-10 bar). Unlike conventional steam, dry steam contains hardly any water droplets, hence its name.

Its physical properties enable it to penetrate deep into pores, joints, and microcracks, where it dissolves organic and inorganic residues, grease, dust, etc. Germs and mold are greatly reduced or eliminated. Dry steam condenses on dust and dirt particles, absorbing them directly with a microfiber cloth and leaving no residue. At the same time, dry steam dries quickly without soaking or damaging surfaces.

What is the difference between ordinary steam cleaners and micro-dry steam cleaners?

Traditional steam cleaners operate at a lower pressure of about 3.5 bar and a temperature around 130°C. This produces very moist steam with a water content of up to 35% – too much for sensitive surfaces and not powerful enough for deep cleaning.

In contrast, Medeco Cleantec’s micro cleaners operate at over 9 bar of pressure and temperatures exceeding 180°C. This produces the finest micro-dry steam, which cleans more quickly and hygienically while being more gentle.

Can micro-dry steam also be used to clean wood furniture, upholstered furniture, and electronics?

Yes, unlike traditional steam cleaners, Medeco Cleantec’s micro-dry steam is ideal for cleaning wood, textiles, leather, plastics, and sensitive electronics because it doesn’t overwet surfaces.

Who is the target audience of the Green Cleaning concept?

Medeco Cleantec originally developed the concept for professional applications in the healthcare and hospitality sectors. However, it is also suitable for care facilities, schools, daycare centers, restaurants, industrial and laboratory facilities, food processing plants, office complexes, public institutions, and private households.

Their specially designed, modular devices range from compact household appliances for home use to industrial-grade, professional models that can be flexibly adapted to any industry and application in terms of size, power, and accessories.

Are the micro cleaners suitable for private households as well?

Yes, Green Cleaning is suitable for private households, too. Chemical-free cleaning provides added health and wellness benefits, especially for households with small children, allergy sufferers, the elderly, or pets. The Micro Cleaner Steamy model was specifically designed for this purpose. It is powerful yet compact and ideal for home use.

Which surfaces can be cleaned with micro-dry steam?

Thanks to its gentle micro-dry steam effect, it can clean almost any material. These include

  • Floor coverings: wood, parquet, marble, stone, tile, concrete, laminate, and linoleum
  • Textiles, leather, and plastics
  • Furnishings, such as upholstery, carpets, blinds, shades, curtains, drapes, furniture, and lampshades
  • Seals and joints
  • Glass, ceramics, chrome, stainless steel, cooling equipment, and drains
  • Electronic components (when used correctly)
  • Devices, machines, vehicles, bikes, and boats

 

What sets Medeco Cleantec devices apart?

Medeco Cleantec micro cleaners are designed for continuous operation in professional settings. Made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel and brass, they feature unique self-descaling technology (e.g., a heating rod, an electromechanical probe, and a boiler).

They are also easy to operate, can be refilled at any time (without waiting), and have low-maintenance couplings, long hoses, and a sophisticated accessory system attached directly to the device trolley.

Private users can opt for the “Steamy” model, which is small, compact, lightweight, and powerful.
