A first line connects the steam generator to the treatment chamber, and an inlet is provided for introducing steam into the treatment chamber. Arranged between the steam generator and the treatment chamber is a nebulizer facility arranged which is connected by way of a switching valve via second lines to the treatment chamber. The nebulizer facility is constructed to mix treatment agents in the form of an aerosol with the steam.
