The ionvacUV PureClean Hand-Vac is an extremely efficient device that employs ultraviolet light to thoroughly clean and sanitize all your fabrics. The PureClean’s vigorous vibrating pads loosen and lift particles from the fabric’s surface while its optimized suction does much more than just trap materials like a normal vacuum cleaner. Its state-of-the-art HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is precisely designed to instantaneously remove dust-mites, pollen, and pet dander thereby keeping your home safe from common irritants that can trigger asthma attacks and/or flare-ups. The PureClean’s powerful, optimized suction traps allergens on the fabric surfaces of beds, mattresses, linens, pillows, sofas, blankets, yoga-mats, and clothes as it effectively sanitizes all bacteria, viruses, and other allergy causing matter.
