Air Techniques: Monarch CleanStream
Powerful and easy-to-use evacuation system cleaner creates a unique vortex action—effectively removing debris and buildup for maximum suction performance
Chris Bethel, a hygienist and team leader at the office of Drs. Mason, Faith, and Hoscheit in 
St. Charles, IL, has seen it all when it comes to buildup in evacuation lines—including the incredible difference that using the right cleaning solution and equipment can make on an office’s suction performance. That’s one reason why she’s been using Monarch CleanStream Evacuation System Cleaner in her office for the past 3 years. It uses a unique nonfoaming and nonenzymatic concentrated formula that removes debris from vacuum lines, prevents future buildup, and enhances suction performance.
“Before switching to Monarch CleanStream, we were using another product and were not getting the results we wanted. About a month after using the CleanStream Evacuation System Cleaner and Dispenser System, we could see a big difference in our chairside traps. They were so much cleaner than they’d ever been before!” said Bethel.
Say Goodbye to Buildup
As a dental hygienist, there is little worse than a backup in the lines—especially in a year filled with heightened sanitation practices. Bethel shared that clogs and backups were a common occurrence before her 13-operatory office started flushing its vacuum lines with CleanStream.
“Before we made the switch to CleanStream, the lines used to get backed up all the time,” she said. “These clogs would make the lines sluggish, and they wouldn’t have enough power to collect up all the aerosols, causing disruptions in patient chair time. Now that we’ve switched to CleanStream, we get that true, full suction at all times.”
“Since using CleanStream, our evacuation lines have been completely open, and we haven’t had any clogged lines.”

Cleaner Lines with a No-Mess Dispenser
When CleanStream is used in tandem with the easy-to-use CleanStream Dispenser, integrated Vortex technology creates a mixture of air and liquid—atomizing the solution through the lines and cleaning the entire inner tubing walls.
“Instead of supplying just a steady stream through the lines to clear them like other products, CleanStream incorporates some air while circulating the solution through the suction system,” said Bethel. “This causes a vortex action through the pipes that helps keep them cleaner.”
Beyond the elimination of clogs and backups in the vacuum lines, Bethel appreciates the CleanStream Dispenser’s ease of use, as well as the fresh aroma of the cleaning solution.“
It’s very easy to use. You just fill the container with water, pour a capful of cleaner into it, give it a little shake, and hook up the suction lines,” she noted. “It takes the guesswork out of it. It’s really a no-brainer.
