Steam Power

As I’ve said in earlier blog entries, I’ve been looking for a good way to sterilize stuff that doesn’t require the use of dangerous or environmentally unfriendly chemicals. While looking at linen services in Ottawa, I finally stumbled upon something that might work- steam cleaning. People that sell dry steam cleaners make various claims that their steam cleaners kill germs and molds. That looked promising, but I wanted something a bit more official. The search for more official information led me towards pressure steam sterilizers. These are stand alone sterilizers that will sterilize cloth and metal. Of course, the one listed there is quite expensive, but that made me realize that we have ready access to home steam sterilizers, except that we call them baby bottle sterilizers or pressure canners. Eureka!
