Does my steamer steam for long enough?Updated a year ago

Bacteria, fungus, and viruses are immediately eliminated when they are exposed to steam or water reaching boiling point or 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celcius). As soon as steam touches your disc or cup, it is instantly sanitized.

We have found that based on wattage, elevation, even water mineral level, the Saalt Steamer will run anywhere between 60 seconds to 3 minutes. As long as steam was produced during the steaming cycle, your product is sanitized. Please note the Saalt Steamer is a sanitizing device and not a sterilizing/disinfecting device; sanitizing your Saalt Cup or Disc is enough to eliminate bacteria, fungus, and viruses making it safe for repeated use. Please refer to the CDC website for the differences between sanitizing and sterilizing/disinfecting.
