We always want
our homes and work places to be clean and hygienic. However, as a
microbiologist I realized that there are few areas in the house, which are not
only difficult to clean but also next to, impossible to render germ free. We
can sanitize the floor and table tops with disinfectants but mattresses and
carpets could only be vacuumed which practically don’t render them germ free.
Bacteria, mites, bed bugs and a myriad of parasites build their housing
colonies in these carpets and gift us itching, allergies as well as infections.
These dangerous
bacteria are harmful not only to adults but children in particular due to their
low immunity. Steam sterilization or treatment is the best method to destroy
bacteria as they are killed at temperatures above 121°C. As a mother cum
microbiologist, I got my entire home treated by the radical germ free treatment
procedures of GermBusters. Their multilevel treatment ensured that dust; mites
and bacteria were thoroughly removed from the common reservoirs and literally
busted the germs out of my house.
Germ Busters Pvt. Ltd. is a company specializing in chemical-free
cleaning and hygiene solutions. They have been servicing various organizations,
including hospitals and homes. Their team is actively working on making inroads
in the hospitality industry across the country. Set up in April this year, the
Mumbai-based company, which focuses on sanitizing mattresses, sofas, carpets,
curtains, duvets, pillows and soft toys, has already established its presence
in Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata & Bengaluru. Germ Busters provides dynamic
cleaning solutions not only to hotels and corporate offices but can also is
very effective in ensuring that hygiene at home is maintained and protected against infectious
bacteria and allergens.
According to Prabodh Hamilton, Director – Business Development
of Germ Busters “We adopted some of the best practices of the top anti-allergen
mattress sanitizing companies in the US and UK, their procedures are known to
get rid of allergens like dust mites and itch mites from mattresses and sofas
with a super efficiency level of 99 per cent. The treatment procedure followed
by our team involves vacuuming which is dry extraction of the allergens, dust
mites, itch mites and its feces from mattresses and sofas. The second step is
Ultra Violet – Sterilization (UV-C). This kills 99.5 per cent of E. coli, Staphylococcus sp. and Candida
sp. It effectively eliminates more than 93.5 per cent of dust mites, 99.5
per cent of H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) virus and Micro Allergy filtration gets rid of
over 96.77 per cent of remnants. The
third step is Steam Vapor (SV), which involves steaming the furnishing at 135°
C, ensuring maximum hygiene and sterilization. The process further eliminates
all traces of microorganisms, mites and fungal spores. Steam Vapor penetrates
into upholstery and carpets terminating any left-over allergens. Steam Vapor is
safe for people because it does not involve chemicals (fungicides) and leaves
no residue.”
We are surrounded by dust and it is a recurrent phenomenon so it
is important to control & ensure that measures are taken to make our
personal spaces allergy free.
The multilevel treatment ensures that harmful pathogenic
bacteria, allergens and viruses are removed and thus the overall hygiene and in
turn the health of the family members can be protected. We can now provide a
safe, clean and healthy environment for our children and family members due to
the non-toxic cleaning treatment offered by Germ Busters.
