For years scientist have known that one of the most efficient purifiers is natural sunlight, more specifically in the UVC spectrum. Unfortunately it does not occur indoors. UVC light is germicidal, it deactivates the DNA of dust mites, bacteria and viruses, fugi and mold and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease.

UVC is generated using a special mercury vapour lamp which generates a frequency that destroys dust mites, viruses and odour causing bacteria. This frequency penetrates the mattress up to 15 cm thus destroying all the dust mites and viruses. The mattress is then turned and the same treatment done from the other side to get our 99.9 % kill rate. To get this target we also have to control the speed we travel over the mattress to 35 squared centimetres every 1.5 seconds.

The machines we use are high power vacuum cleaners with the UVC lamp within the pick up. The purpose of the vacuum is to remove all matter including dry skin which penetrates the mattress providing the organisms with a food source. Tests have revealed that up 5 million dust mites live within this environment. This method is internationally recognised within the hospitality industry. 

When servicing a mattress we ask for the the bed to be stripped and if possible all the linen to be washed including the mattress protector. We also fragrance the room on completion. The bed can be made up immediately as this is a totally dry method and no harmful chemicals are used. The time taken to complete a double mattress is 15 minutes including the pillows.
