    Relying solely on the “expertise” from a deep cleaning service provider without validation from a more scientific perspective is a real miss.

      Most of this is old news. People shed skin cells, dust collects in mattresses, and that all feeds dust mites. Cleaning your mattress is old too, they're using a 20 year old Kirby Ultimate G and Kirby has instructed how to clean mattresses for decades. The only thing new and questionable is the UV light. UV light takes a much longer time held over the same spot to kill bacteria and viruses. The way they quickly move the vacuum back and forth the UV light does not have enough time to sanitize which is why they still use a chemical spray to sanitize.

      @@kc5077 I agree, and it would only touch the surface anyway, which is of limited effect.
      I am using an attachment to my regular vacuum with a "knocking" brush attachment from Aliexpress. Might not be the most effective but better than nothing.
      And even more important: People should use quilts with cover, not the type that does not need a cover. The cover prevent a lot of dust entering the quilt. Just saying, since I've seen many people do not.

      @@krollpeter I got the habit of using mattress covers from my mom. When a Kirby rep tried that trick on my mattress they got nothing on their demo filter. Change your sheets often and using washable covers is the best advice.

    I love how they're using a 20 year old Kirby vacuum with a giant UV light attached to the front.

    They don't mention whether the spray harms the mattress. I sprayed fabric with isopropyl and it not only bleached the dye but it also made holes.

    • @krollpeter
      @krollpeter 4 месяца назад +1

      Isopropyl is not able to cause holes. Then I'd rather suspect any citrus oil.
      I would question the efficacy of such a spray, tough, because it will be limited to the surfaces only.
