Menikini is the biggest manufacturer of steam generators in Italy and an international leader in dry steam cleaning. Since 1973 our technologies have been a reference for industrial and commercial applications.
We anticipate the future with new ideas to make dry saturated steam the primary cleaning method. “Green technology” is not just a phrase on our business card, but the testimony of our ethical principles aimed at the search for technologies for the protection of natural and vital resources.

Our sales network with exclusive distributors for all areas of the world offers tailor-made assistance with a team of certified technicians.

Steam is an ecological choice. Its application determines the reduction of about 70% of chemical detergents and disinfectants. Two main consequences derive from this decrease: a lower environmental pollution that does not lead to any soil contamination and the disappearance of problems related to allergies, since steam is not toxic. In this regard, steam cleaning is recommended for places frequented by those suffering from asthma, respiratory problems and allergies, as well as ideal for places frequented by pregnant women and small children. The choice of steam ensures considerable savings on water consumption, an element contained in dry steam only in the minimum percentage of 5%. While traditional pressure washing methods (hydro-jet) consume about 600-2000 l/h, with steam generators the quantity is reduced to 10 l/h.
Cleaning with dry saturated steam has a high degreasing power which makes it much more effective than any other descaling product on all stubborn and delicate surfaces.
Its superiority over other methods is confirmed by numerous studies. The Italian Federation of Public Exercises stated in a manual that “dry saturated steam with temperatures between 140° and 185° C represents the most ecological and modern method to attack dirty surfaces. The pressure, associated with the thermal action, performs an effective cleaning and sanitizing action“.
Steam at 60° emitted for 3 minutes is able to eliminate salmonella, while using the wet one at 100°, in 2 minutes it is possible to remove bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Escherichia Coli. The dry saturated steam, on the other hand, at a temperature of 160-180°, allows you to eliminate bacteria, fungi, parasites, molds and dust mites, as well as various allergens and viruses in less than 1 minute. It is logical that by doubling the temperature in the nozzle, the same optimal result can be obtained in less time. With saturated dry steam it is therefore possible to improve the air quality, disinfect and definitively destroy the pathogenic germs that infest the environments. The same operation can be carried out with the application of chemical products such as alcohol and bleach, which, however, as already specified, can irreparably damage the environment and surfaces. The steam is suitable for any type of surface and has the ability to enter the micropores in order to remove the residues of dirt that have unconsciously and inevitably accumulated over time due to the partial ineffectiveness of traditional methods.
Unlike what happens with wet steam, generated from 1 to 6 Bar of pressure and between 100 and 160° and characterized by a high percentage of liquid water that remains on the surfaces in the form of very small drops, leaving them wet, with the saturated dry steam remains on the surfaces only a minimal percentage of water.
