[Viewed 16 times]

Society has yet to offer a chemical free system to dry clean & sanitize bed mattresses & similar items which can harbor a multitude of viruses, bacteria, molds, bed bugs & host of other creatures (lice, skin mites, etc.). This simple invention can be an automated machine that unfolds onto the furnishing and scan over it to clean & sanitize it in a short time.

Patent Summary with broad claims:
A cleaning apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a mount member configured for extending along a dimension of an article to be cleaned and maintaining a predetermined distance from an apparatus facing surface of the article to be cleaned. A first engaging member is carried on a first end of the mount member and a second engaging member carried on a second end of the mount member. The first and second engaging members cooperate for engagement about the article to be cleaned. A casing is carried by the mount member and is configured for slideable translation about the mount member along the dimension of the article. The casing also defines an article sanitizing portion on an article facing portion thereof. The article sanitizing portion includes at least one sanitizing device for sanitizing the article to be cleaned.

New Ideas for Cleaning & Sanitizing Guest Rooms in the Hospitality Industry
- There are several reliable & green sanitizing technologies such as UV-C Light, Ozone and Cold Plasma
- Why not use one or more of these in combination with vacuuming and/or other cleaning technologies?
- Can they also help with bedbug infestation?
- How can we apply several of these to a pillow or mattress with minimum effort?

Our Idea
- Small & portable devices for day to day in-room use
- Semi to fully automatic processes that are very easy to use and take very little of a person’s time
- Safe & 100% green products
- Affordable and long lasting with minimal maintenance

More Details
- A hotel’s housekeeper takes about 20-30 minutes to clean each room. This is enough time to sanitize a full room of bedding between guests.
- Treated pillows remain fresh & last longer, and the improved hygiene would add value to almost every guest.
- The bed scanner would be a perfect addition to any bedbug maintenance program by sanitizing each mattress on a regular bases.
- The bed scanner could potentially be used on bedding as well.
- Treated mattresses remain fresh & last longer, and the improved hygiene would add value to almost every guest.
- Whether you charge a little more for an ultra-clean room or simply attract more guest with your advertised use of these products, your return on investment will be within several months!
