Abstract: A cleaner cleans an implement in a controlled environment by performing a two-fold process. A preferred cleaner performs at least two treatments on the implement using one or more fluids. The fluids can include water, steam, gas, as well as detergents and sterilizing agents. A preferred cleaner includes a chamber, a boiler for generating steam, and a sprayer adapted to convey the steam from the boiler onto the implement. Another preferred cleaner includes a chamber, a fluid processor adapted to convey a fluid to the chamber, a sprayer for directing the fluid onto the implement, and a sterilizer for reducing the level of biological contaminants on the implement. The fluid processor may be an electrically driven centrifugal pump that receives a washing liquid.
