Eliminate germs, viruses, bacteria and more on household surfaces

Pollution has made healthy living and healthy cleaning more challenging. Invisible germs, viruses and bacteria are omnipresent and, as reported by the Environmental Protection Agency, air in homes can be as much as 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Add that during the winter months, many people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, and the need to maintain a clean environment becomes an important concern.

Kitchen utensils, phone receivers, mobile phones, computer keyboards, furniture and bedding are just a few of the surfaces that harbor invisible germs.

Chemical-free, odorless UV-C light sanitizes against viruses, bacteria, mold and dust mites by penetrating the micro-organism’s cell membrane, damaging its DNA.  This prevents growth and kills the organism.

Facts about home sanitizing:

• Household cleaning products may contain 90% inactive or inert ingredients and include solvents, dispersal agents, dyes and fragrances that contribute to air and water pollution.
• UV-C light used in the proper delivery system is both a safe and environmentally correct method to remove germs from household surfaces.
• Light disinfection of surfaces has been used in hospitals, food processing and water treatment facilities, and in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems for more than 30 years.
• UV-C’s natural disinfectant properties are chemical-free and odorless

The CleanWave Sanitizing Portable Vacuum uses UV-C light to safety clean and sanitize without chemicals or residues. It has a detachable hand vacuum, on-board nozzle and brush attachments – perfect for quick clean-ups, corners and crevices.
