The sustainable steam oven cleaner alternative

When kitchens rely on traditional steam oven cleaners, they introduce chemicals, single-use plastics, and unnecessary waste. CTU Vapour provides the same clean outcome, protecting oven chambers and components through a regenerable water treatment system.

Each CTU unit can be regenerated, recycled, and reused, reducing single-use plastics and landfill waste while ensuring full compliance with Water Care’s circular economy model.
