Sorry to tell you, but your bed is gross. The average mattress “can have thousands of dust mites that produce millions of droppings,” Manal Mohammed, a medical microbiologist and senior lecturer at London’s University of Westminster, told HuffPost in a previous report. These mites feed on your dead skin cells, sweat, food crumbs and sweat. Terrifying bugs aside, mattresses are also prone to mold and fungi due to their ability to hold moisture and warmth.
Reviewers say they use it to clean their car seats, pillows, dog beds, upholstery and even clothing. Some reviewers say it helped with their sinus headaches and allergy issues!
This corded handheld mattress vacuum cleaner has a UV light designed to kill germs and strong suction to grab any leftover midnight snacks and dead skin. It also has a hand-washable HEPA filter and a metal screen pre-filter to minimize frequent cleaning. Its high-frequency tapping helps shake out the hidden dirt and dust you might miss with a regular vacuum.
“I purchased this and a mattress protector because I was having mild sinus headaches after I woke up in the mornings,” says H. Brown. “The manufacturer of the protector suggested vacuuming the mattress prior to use so I purchased this as my other vacuum cleaner is strictly for floor use. […] The next morning I had no headache.”
