Mattress / Bedding Cleaning Guidelines

In order for the UV-C light to be fully effective against bacteria and other pathogens, the area to be cleaned must be exposed for a sufficient time.

We suggest the following guidelines:

•Start in one corner of the bed.

•Keep the vacuum flat against the mattress.

•Move the vacuum in a smooth and steady motion.

•To make sure that every part of the mattress is exposed, follow a predetermined pattern.

•With double (or larger) beds, clean one side of the bed at a time.

•If possible, clean both sides of the mattress.

•With a used mattress, clean on a daily basis for seven days, then as much as once a week, at least once a month. With a new mattress, once a month cleaning is usually sufficient.

•If cleaning carpets using the UV-C head, follow a similar method.
