I’m sorry, but your bed is gross. According to Manal Mohammed, a medical microbiologist and senior lecturer at London’s University of Westminster, the average mattress “can have thousands of dust mites that produce millions of droppings.” While you may be tempted to burn your mattress, we have an easier (and much cheaper) fix.
This corded handheld mattress vacuum cleaner uses UV light, vibration and heat to kill germs and suck up an “embarrassing amount of grossness.”
In previous HuffPost reporting, experts said that dust mites love humid areas like the bedroom.
These mites feed on your dead skin cells, sweat and food crumbs and sweat. Terrifying bugs aside, mattresses are also prone to mold and fungi due to their ability to hold moisture and warmth. If you’re worried about dust mites lurking in your bedroom, this vacuum can make a huge difference.
With a multi-filter system, a powerful UV light, and a strong motor, this corded mattress vac is ready to tackle mites and grossness from your bed, your pet’s bed and even your couches and curtains. Weighing less than four pounds, with an over 16-foot power cord, it’s easy to move around the house, ensuring every inch stays clean. Its high-frequency tapping helps shake out the hidden dirt and dust you might miss with a regular vacuum. It also has a hand-washable HEPA filter and a metal screen pre-filter to minimize frequent cleaning.
