HEALTH RISKS
A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP IS A HEALTHY NIGHT’S SLEEP
Recent studies have determined that a shocking number of harmful germs exist in sleeping environments, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These two contaminants in particular were found in more than 50% of mattresses tested and are major triggers of sickness and allergies. These statistics were based on 151 mattresses that were tested in hospitals and other institutional type multi-bed facilities. Key experts have concluded that you would have a much greater reading in hotel and resort mattresses, as well as mattresses found in private homes due to the less sanitary nature of the surrounding environment.
The reason for the testing was to determine how constructive the decontamination of the bed was once the occupant had been moved, using a commercial grade of disinfectant spray.
The study results suggest that the usual disinfection procedures, instead of diminishing the number of microbes, marginally displace them from one part of the mattress to another. The number of microorganisms remains the same. This is where we come in.
The good news is that the Sanonvac™ process is a totally “green,” no-chemical, dry process that is capable of destroying all impurities found in a mattress. This is only possible by sanitizing both the surface and the inside of the mattress by combining a penetrating UV-C Germicidal lamp with a powerful extraction device.
