NEW VERILUX® CLEANWAVE® UV-C SANITIZING FURNITURE & BED VAC UV-C Light Eliminates Up to 99.9% of Viruses, Bacteria, Germs, Mold, Dust Mite and Flea Eggs from Household Surfaces: Recommended By Whom You Know

Peachy Deegan just looked outside her window and it is still snowing.  She is not on the beach in Florida. (But she does have her Illuminator) She is not on a yacht in the Mediterranean.  (But she does have her Bergamotto Di Calabria) She is inside (thank goodness!) in Manhattan and like most of us, and certainly everyone that reads Whom You Know, she is adamant about the degree of cleanliness of her surroundings and will do everything that she can to destroy dirt and germs.  Introducing our new friend from Verilux!  It is so cute and petite but it does a BIG job!

Designed to clean and sanitize various types of household surfaces, such as upholstered chairs and sofas, bed mattresses and pet areas, the new dual-action Verilux® CleanWave® UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac (VH07) eliminates up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, dust mite and flea eggs on household surfaces.


It works like a charm.  Simply plug it into the wall and turn it on!  Then fire away at every surface you want to clean and disinfect.



“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, and a multitude of disease-causing bacteria and viruses.  We hate to bring something as unpleasant as that up, but we want you to realize the value of getting rid of them.  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.  Best of all, the CleanWave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac works as easily and effortlessly as any other type of vacuum cleaner.”


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 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. We think this works fabulously now but just wait until pollen season starts!  We will really love it then.


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.  Compact and portable, the 5-lbs. lightweight CleanWave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vac is available now at www.verilux.com and retail stores nationwide for $129.95 suggested retail.
