Method: A descriptive and narrative study of a case report, through a review of the different types of hospital cleaning, with emphasis on steam cleaning of operating rooms. Results: The implementation of steam cleaning and disinfecting in operating rooms showed positive results, such as optimization and quality in the work process, occupational safety, reduced time of terminal cleaning and room working, procedure automation, environmental benefits (saving water and chemicals), and security by providing an environment free of important pathogens for the development of infections. Conclusion: Steam cleaning is an effective alternative to hospital hygiene combined with technology. The steam system is able to effectively reduce the microbial load on surfaces with higher quality and safety.
