SARS Killed Simply by vapour  

Montreal, Quebec, September 12th, 2003– Throughout the entire SARS crisis, the world overlooked the possibility that the spread of the virus through contaminated surfaces could be fought simply by vapour. Polti, the world leader in vapour technology and manufacturer of Vaporetto, the first ever environmentally friendly device to clean with the power of dry vapour alone, has discovered that its system kills SARS. Biomedco, an independent laboratory in Montreal studied the effects of Polti’s dry vapour on the Corona Virus, the cause of SARS. The results were astounding; simply by applying Vaporetto’s dry vapour onto the infected surface, the Corona Virus was completely destroyed within 15 seconds.

Using only potable water heated to a temperature in excess of 120 degrees Centigrade, Vaporetto was effective in killing the Corona Virus due to its low tolerance to heat. According to the W.H.O., heat at 56 degrees Centigrade begins attacking the virus. Seeing that the transmission of SARS is caused by close personal contact, especially exposure to droplets of respiratory secretions of infected individuals, Vaporetto can become a useful tool to sanitize and disinfect public areas, hospitals and homes. These findings are of interest not only for SARS, but also for any other easily transmittable virus that may plague our society in the future.

Apart from killing SARS, Vaporetto also eliminates household germs, dust mites and bacteria such as: Salmonella, Campilobacter, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Enterococci, Listeria, Clostridium and Bacillus Tuberculosis. With Vaporetto you clean, degrease, sanitize and deodorize all surfaces in one easy step, without the use of chemicals.

Polti’s inspiration for the new millennium is ecology, a traditional value that is epitomized in Vaporetto. Polti is at the forefront of technology, creating new products which relieve the burden of housework, improve the quality of life and protect the environment, using the totally natural element: vapour.
