Thermal treatment evidence
Why one universal kill rate is not credible.
TechnoVap equipment produces dry steam at up to 180°C. Actual treatment depends on contact temperature, time, surface, soil, access, and technique.
Treatment variables
Output temperature is one input, not the whole result.
A percentage or contact time is meaningful only when its test conditions match the treatment being delivered.
Equipment output
TechnoVap equipment produces dry steam at up to 180°C. Nozzle output is an equipment specification, not the temperature held across every treated surface.
Surface temperature
Material, starting temperature, distance, movement, and heat loss affect the temperature reached at the contact point.
Contact time
The time a target area remains at an effective temperature matters. Moving too quickly changes the treatment delivered.
Surface and geometry
Porosity, texture, seams, edges, recesses, and heat sensitivity determine access and the appropriate technique.
Soil and moisture load
Organic soil, residue, and moisture can shield a surface or change heat transfer. Preparation is part of the method.
Technique and coverage
Pass speed, overlap, attachment, sequence, and operator access influence whether treatment is consistent across the scope.
Evidence boundary
Match the record to the decision it supports.
Cleaning records describe work performed. Formal microbiological evidence requires a separate, competent validation process.
- 01
Service record
Bonza Clean can record the agreed scope, areas treated, equipment used, process details, and visible condition photos.
- 02
Manufacturer evidence
Equipment or method data applies only to the test setup and conditions stated by its source. Review the original document before relying on a percentage.
- 03
Independent site validation
A formal pathogen-reduction or infection-control claim requires a suitable sampling plan, qualified testing, and interpretation for the actual site.
Planning by environment
Start with the site's own controls.
We agree access, scope, method, and service records with the property team. We do not replace the site's infection-control lead, laboratory, or certifier.
Healthcare and aged care
Align cleaning work with the facility infection-control plan, access controls, substrate limits, and evidence requirements.
Veterinary and clinical
Define treatment areas, animal or patient movement, cleaning sequence, and return-to-use controls before service.
Strata and commercial
Use condition photos and service records for maintenance decisions. Arrange independent testing where formal evidence is required.
What happened to Bonza Clean's kill-rate matrix?
We removed universal pathogen percentages and times because the site did not hold source material that justified applying them to every service. TechnoVap's 180°C equipment output remains documented. Any pathogen-reduction claim must be tied to its original test conditions or independently validated at the site.
Define the method and evidence before work starts.
Share your site procedure and required records. We will confirm the cleaning scope and identify where independent testing is needed.
