"We're excited to offer consumers a new home appliance that's as easy to use as any other vacuum cleaner, but offers the added benefits of being anti-microbial," says Nicholas Harmon, President of Verilux, Inc. "Our simple to use, yet highly advanced vacuum cleaner utilizes powerful UV-C light to sanitize difficult to clean surfaces in the home."
The CleanWave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac keeps bedding and other surfaces germ-free without harsh chemicals. A single mattress may harbor as many as ten million dust mites, hundreds of bed bug eggs and a multitude of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. The UV-C light disables biological pollutants' reproductive capabilities, thus eliminating them with a method that is chemical-free and environmentally friendly.
"UV-C light technology is a proven and powerful means of eliminating biological contaminants," says Harmon. "We've taken a highly efficient technology that's been used for over 30 years in hospitals, food processing facilities and water treatment plants, and adapted it for easy and safe use by consumers." In addition to sanitizing surfaces, the CleanWave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac's powerful 400-watt motor creates superior and consistent suction to quickly remove dust and dirt for thorough cleaning. A two-stage micro-allergy filtration system prevents recirculation of pollutants, and cyclonic action keeps dust and debris away from the filter to maintain strong suction. In addition, a detachable hand vacuum (without sanitizing features) can be used for quick cleanups and to vacuum hard-to-reach places.
The new Verilux CleanWave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac has an easy-to-empty, eco-friendly bag-free design, and comes complete with an onboard nozzle and brush attachments. Lightweight, compact and portable, the 5-pound CleanWave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac will be available at select Best Buy stores nationwide in May for $129.95 suggested retail.
