In Cambridge University two carpets and two mattresses containing live dust mites were compared. One carpet and one mattress were cleaned with an ordinary vacuum cleaner, the others with Vaporetto. Then the live dust mites on the samples were counted. Vaporetto had eliminated 97% of them from the carpet and 98% from the mattress, cutting allergens by 86%. The ordinary vacuum cleaner had eliminated only 57% of dust mites and 46% of allergens.

Lyon Dermatological Hospital tested Vaporetto’s effectiveness for decontamination of linens and rooms infested with scabies mites. The mites were killed by only five seconds of exposure to Vaporetto’s jet of steam at over 120°C.

These results leave no doubts: the high temperature (120°C) and high pressure (from 3 up to 5 bars) of Vaporetto and Vaporetto Lecoaspira not only drastically reduce the number of living dust mites but neutralise the allergens they produce, providing an extraordinary powerful decontaminating action.
