MiteGuard uses UV-C radiation with a wavelength of 253.7 nm to effectively destroy dust mites, their eggs, and microbial pathogens. This form of short-wave ultraviolet radiation is also used in hospital and cleanroom disinfection because it is capable of directly damaging cell nuclei and genetic material.
The effect is based on the absorption of UV-C photons by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) . This causes so-called pyrimidine dimerizations – structural changes within the DNA strands that prevent proper cell division. Mites and their larvae thus lose their ability to reproduce or are killed outright.
Studies show that even brief UV-C irradiation is capable of inactivating over 99% of mite eggs and adults – without the use of toxic substances. Combined with the mechanical suction power of the MiteGuard, this results in a dual effect: destruction of the biological structure and physical removal of the residue .
A safety mechanism ensures that the UV-C module is only activated when it is in full contact with the surface. This reliably protects skin and eyes from direct radiation and makes it safe to use even in households with children and pets.
The use of UV-C is particularly effective on mattresses, upholstery, carpets, and textiles, as these materials are considered preferred habitats for mites. The combination of light, heat, and suction ensures a lasting reduction in allergen exposure – for better sleep and healthier respiratory tracts.
With the UV-C technology in MiteGuard, you rely on a scientifically based, chemical-free solution that makes the difference – visible, noticeable, safe.
