We clean with UV-C light
Clean Bedz Aruba cleans mattresses using a unique method, using UV-C light. Unlike UV-A and UV-B, this type of UV light is not harmful to people. UV-C light is mainly used to disinfect water and air. That's exactly what your mattress needs to get fresh and clean again.
What is UV-C light?
UV light, also known as ultraviolet light, is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of light, but longer than that of X-rays. Many people know that UV light is harmful, but are only aware of it when it causes physical complaints, such as sunburn. However, the type of UV-C light also causes allergens to fluoresce, showing exactly where the dust mite is located in mattresses, furniture and carpets. At the same time, UV-C light is a natural source for eliminating germs and bacteria. This allows cleaning without chemicals and makes our solutions sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The anti-microbial properties of UV CV light have been known to scientists since 1930 and are now used worldwide. In 1930 it was already used to kill germs such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Although UV C light is invisible, it provides enough intensity to inactivate bacteria, which are responsible for causing disease in humans. This means that the bacteria are not killed immediately, but are no longer viable. They can no longer reproduce, making this bug less harmful. In addition to defusing bacteria and other germs, the eggs of the dust mites are killed. This is hardly possible when you are going to clean your mattress yourself.

Benefits of UV-C light
Good hygiene strengthens health
During the last hundred years, scientific research and experiments have ensured that UV C light has only increased on the market. Since 1800 it has contributed to the disinfection and healing of wounds. Today it is used for the same purposes, but for the disinfection of germs. The UV C light removes harmful substances that affect human health. It sterilizes the most contaminated things and it is successful worldwide so that the use continues to grow. Whether it is a better quality of the indoor environment or the killing of fungi and bacteria on the surface: UV C light is clean, efficient and increasingly necessary.
