One of the country’s busiest transportation hubs set sky-high standards for its facilities: keeping restrooms consistently clean while meeting big sustainability goals and easing the workload on staff.
Standard chemical-heavy cleaning routines require tons of water and extensive training. Even with safety measures in place, chemical cleaning often leads to repeated contamination and additional cleaning, slowing operations.
The airport's leadership was seeking ways to reduce environmental impact across all facilities, stop operational bottlenecks, and create a safer environment for all. That’s when the BradyPLUS team introduced them to Blue Evolution’s dry steam technology, which aligned perfectly with these goals.
For the airport, these advantages are combined to create a cleaning system that is not only more sustainable but also more effective and easier to operate. Without chemical use and risk of burns from hot steam, staff work in safer conditions, and passengers are less exposed to germs and chemicals.
By replacing chemical cleaning with dry steam, the airport achieved a shocking reduction in water consumption.
A traditional scrubber using a two-gallon tank can clean roughly 3,000 square feet before needing a refill. Blue Evolution’s dry steam, by contrast, cleans 15,000 to 20,000 square feet with the same amount of water—more than five times larger an area. This improvement directly supports the airport’s sustainability commitments.
Beyond environmental benefits, the airport saw immediate gains in labor efficiency. Steam sanitizes on contact, eliminating the downtime required by chemical disinfection. Because steam leaves no residue, restrooms stay cleaner for longer, enabling staff to focus on other priorities.
Training time also dropped significantly. With no chemicals involved, employees no longer need instruction on chemical handling, storage, or OSHA safety protocols.
These improvements enhanced passenger experience and reduced the overall labor burden on cleaning teams.
Now that’s high-flying!
