Description

My idea is to introduce a vapor steam cleaner on board the space station to help in the personal hygiene of the Astronautin team and others. Vapor steam cleaners or steam vapor systems are cleaning appliances or devices that use steam to quickly dry, clean, and sanitize inanimate surfaces. Often the process is effective enough to disinfect or even sterilize the surfaces. The steam is produced in a boiler that heats tap water to high temperatures (240-310F/115-155C) to produce low-pressure (several atmospheres ), low moisture (4 to 6% water) water vapor (steam).This process uses very little water (usage is measured in liters or quarters per hour).Vapor steam cleaners are cited as examples of green cleaning since they do not require the use of chemical cleaning solutions.Vapor steam cleaners are frequently used in hypoallergenic environments because they do not require the use of additional cleaning chemicals, which results in better indoor air quality and eliminates the need to handle or store cleaning agents. Steam has been shown effective in combating mold , bacteria, viruses , and other forms of bio-contamination. It can used to clean plates, clothes, pillows, beds,bathroom, kitchen sinks, and other surfaces. This device can work anywhere even on the space station.
