Before we get into what a great opportunity this business offers, we need to bring your attention to some important facts about mattress cleaning and sanitizing:

• Fact 1: Sanitizing the bedroom should be your first priority; this includes mattress, pillows, & furniture. This will make a huge impact on controlling allergy and asthma symptoms, as well as decontaminating the bed of germs, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, bedbugs, dust mites, and more, but it is as equally important to clean and sanitize the rest of the house as well. Why? Because only 60 percent of the dust mites and other pathogens that are found in the home are in the bedroom, the other 40 percent are found in the rest of the house, and most of those are found in the furniture they sit on every day. Treating only the mattress or bedroom will not give your customers the benefits or relief they expect or deserve. Cleaning the mattresses, pillows, furniture and treating the carpeting, curtains, ducts, vents, etc. with an easy to apply anti-allergen treatment throughout the entire home is the right way to do it, and it is the easiest way to sell it, and the most lucrative way to run this business.

• Fact 2: There are several ways to sanitize; some are much more effective than others. Our high temperature vapor system is unquestionably the most thorough and effective way to clean and sanitize these areas according to science and medical personnel.

• Fact 3: Sanitizing is not cleaning, as in making things look clean and getting rid of the dirt or stains, it's only sanitizing. When customers have you clean and sanitize an area or an item they expect it to look clean as well as being sanitized, this is especially true of furniture and carpeting.

• Fact 4: With our equipment, cleaning and sanitizing these areas is fast and easy; and with our new marketing programs you will be able to target your customers.

If you are interested in this business then you have no doubt looked at some of the other companies offering to sell a mattress cleaning (sanitizing) business.

You may have also noticed that all of these companies are basically addressing mattress sanitizing, with little or no emphasis on the furniture or other areas, where large amounts of dust mites and other pathogens are found.   And none of them actually clean anything, (other than vacuuming).  They only sanitize, and they do that with an ultra-violet light, which brings us to another important fact.  Why? Because UV light is not effective at destroying pathogens in stuffed or porous materials like mattresses, furniture, pillows, etc. where the light can't get to.

Read the below excerpt on the questionable effects of Ultra-violet light on dust mites and their allergens to see why we don't use ultra-violet light 

Excerpt from American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology

9/24/04 re: Effects of UV-light on dust mites
	I am the nurse specialist/clinical coordinator for a large community-based health initiative in Central Harlem. Recently a company offered to donate some of their services to families enrolled in our program. This company uses ultraviolet treatment to kill dust mites in mattresses and bedding. I am not familiar with this treatment, and I was unable to find any articles about this method. To your knowledge, is there any scientific data to support this method of killing dust mites?
	I was not personally aware of any data concerning UV light effects on dust mites. Therefore, I consulted Dr. Peyton Eggleston, an expert in the environmental control of dust mites and other indoor allergens. I had to await his response which is now enclosed below. Dr. Eggleston's response: Ultraviolet light is known to damage or kill living organisms, so, theoretically artificial light could kill house dust mites and reduce the allergens that they produce. High intensity UV light modifies proteins as well, so it is possible that UV light might render an allergen contaminated sheet non-allergenic. Having said that, I am not aware that anyone has actually demonstrated that UV light changes allergens-no matter how intense the UV light. An Australian investigator demonstrated that airing blankets in the sunlight killed house dust mites, but he also measured temperature and humidity in the blankets. Mites are killed by high temperatures and low humidity, and he demonstrated that the temperature and humidity in the blankets could have explained the mite death that he observed. So the bottom line is that it is possible for UV light to decrease house dust mite allergen, but there is no proof that it actually does.

SaniClean Systems does NOT use ultra-violet light to sanitize, for the above as well as the following reasons:

1. Ultra-violet light can only sanitize the surface where the light hits.  Dust Mites, Bacteria, Mold Spores, Germs, and Viruses live in the mattress, not many live on top of the mattress.  Same is true of furniture and carpeting.  Since the light can't pass through the cover and into the stuffing or padding, those contaminates are left there to grow and multiply. Dust mites and other pathogens are so small that if they are on the opposite side of a thread from the light they would be in the shadow of the light with no effect on them.
2.  It takes up to 30 seconds of continuous exposure of the UVC light to (possibly) kill or render ineffective most of these contaminates.  So to do a thorough job of decontamination, you would have to move the light over the mattress very slowly to be effective.  These lights are not very large and it would take you quite a while to attempt to sanitize a large mattress on both sides.  Many of these lights are hand held and have to be held about 6 to 8 inches above the mattress or furniture to be effective.  This would be quite tedious to do.  Ultra-violet lights mounted on the vacuum cleaner models would be easier to use on the mattress, but to be effective you still have to go so slowly that it may not be good for the mattress cover with the beater bar on those machines going over the same area for 20 or 30 seconds at a time.  Plus those models are almost useless for pillows, furniture or curtains because they are too bulky and heavy, that's why they are self-propelled.  You would have to attach an accessory hose and detail tool which is cumbersome at best on these models.  Again, the light can't penetrate the covers so any contaminates not vacuumed up or lying on top of the mattress will be left behind to grow and multiply.
3. Ultra-violet light can be dangerous.  Bare skin and eyes must be protected when using it.  It is a form of radiation.  Using the light every day, how often do you think you will be accidentally exposed over the course of a year or so?  We prefer to not expose ourselves to any potential danger, especially given the fact that it is not the most effective way to address the problem anyway.
4. Ultra-violet lights can be broken; care must be taken when transporting and using them.
5. Ultra-violet lights also contain mercury which is a health hazard.  What would happen if you broke one on a customer's mattress, contaminating it with glass and mercury? 
6. Our cleaning systems is the only cleaning system that actually cleans mattresses, furniture, leather, carpeting, and many other things, as well as sanitize them. Again ultra-violet light can only sanitize, it cannot clean anything, and it can only sanitize things in the air or on the surface. Our system will allow you to advertise and do actual furniture and mattress cleaning and sanitizing, as well as decontaminating and treating carpeted areas. You will be able to sanitize and clean anything in the home. This increases your potential income substantially.

The SaniClean System is designed to deeply penetrate the mattress and kill all contaminates instantly. The dead contaminates are then extracted out of the mattress. During the process the mattress is actually cleaned not just sanitized. The process can include stain and odor removal. Nothing cleans like SaniClean!

Vacuums and injects intense hot vapor into the mattress for the kill Mattress Cleaning	Deep penetrating jets of hot vapor at almost 100 pounds per square inch
3 sizes of cleaning heads make sanitizing and cleaning from furniture and detail work to large king size beds fast and easy	Same vacuum and penetrating vapor as the larger head. Other specialty tools included for different cleaning jobs

Cleans and Sanitizes with INTENSELY HEATED JETS OF VAPOR. The Vapor molecules are smaller and hotter than regular steam. These vapors penetrate deeper, and clean and sanitize better. This very highly heated vapor is 95% dry; leaving little moisture after cleaning. It kills dust mites, bed bugs, and all other pathogens instantly. Extremely SAFE to use, and uses NO CHEMICALS. 

*Beds are ready to make up right after cleaning.

Here are the benefits of the SaniClean System:

• It will penetrate deep into mattresses, furniture, and other stuffed items.
• Kills all contaminates instantly on contact and then is extracted out.
• The machine is easy, safe, fast, and actually fun to use.
• The mattress or furniture is dry when you are done, and you use no chemicals.
• Our system can be used to sanitize and clean everything in the house and gets into nooks and crannies where bedbugs, lice, dust mites, and other creatures live. Other cleaning devices cannot get into these areas, and are really useless in killing many of them anyway.
• Our system not only sanitizes, but cleans. It can clean everything from mattresses and furniture to stains in carpeting, from kitchen stoves to tile and grout floors, from counter tops to toilets and more. It is an awesome sanitizing and cleaning machine.
• Our system can remove dirt and stains that other methods could only hope to do, and normally without using any chemicals.
• The machine is lightweight and very easy to use.

With the "health and wellness" boom, the national media coverage of the increased risk of indoor pollution on our health, the growing epidemic growth of Asthma and Allergy problems especially in children, along with the nationwide movement for chemical free cleaning, this will be one of the best home-based business opportunities to get into for the foreseeable future.

So if you are interested in the newest and most effective way to chemically free clean and sanitize, and get in on the ground floor of one of the best new business opportunities in the United States, then read on.
