The dry and non toxic method of using a high powered vacuum unit coupled with UVC light performs this task admirably.
These machines beat and agitate the mattress surface at high speed in order to release the microscopic particles hidden in the mattress.
These particles include rancid dead skin, dust mites and importantly, their excrement which contains guanine, a chemical that can trigger allergies and can even cause a lifelong allergy*.
The UVC light can kill bacteria, mould spores and even viruses plus the unwanted enemy, dust mite.
The dry extraction process is by far the most popular sanitising method internationally. Generally, the service is completed with a light mist of a combined antibacterial spray and deodoriser (putting moisture in the mattress is discouraged).
The bed can be made up minutes after service. Some companies will offer a residual spray that protects against dust mite, bacteria and mould on pillows and mattresses for up to six months.
The benefits of the dry extraction process to accommodation owners and their guests is that by extracting the debris on a regular basis it will remove musty odours, even cigarette smoke from the mattress and provide a genuine health benefit.
An additional benefit is the potential to extend the life of the mattress and provide a competitive marketing advantage.
Your guests' perception of the standard of health and hygiene in the accommodation is increased when they are made aware of the regular natural sanitising of the mattresses.
For the accommodation looking to choose a cleaning and sanitising process, the proof is what is collected from the mattress. Simple.
