Clean Spotting: The Most Glam Vacuum Ever

Written by Bryce

A brilliant move for the big city kind of gal.

When it comes to household chores, I’ve typically been the type of gal to procrastinate endlessly or outsource the labor. Seriously, I’ve gone as far as teaching my son that Swiffering is a “fun game” and hiring a housekeeper to do windows, laundry, and bathrooms on a bi-weekly basis. I know, I know… it’s not good. How can my work ethic at my office be so intense and hardcore and my home economics ethic just isn’t? Well, I’m pretty lucky that the lovely folks at Verilux were wondering the same thing about me. They sent me a vacuum from their Cleanwave line to try out because they were convinced that I’d fall in love with it’s ability to suck the drab out of chores, and light up my life with real, sanitizing light bulbs. I was less than convinced but I figured I’d give it a whirl.

It’s official: I like vacuuming now. Why? Because this thing is like a Back to the Future space age machine that magically sucks dust, lint, debris, and even BED BUG EGGS without much effort at all. And it’s somehow bagless, not too noisy, easy to push, and compact- go figure. More importantly, anyone that lives in NYC and has even an ounce of brain matter is basically petrified of bed bugs. I know I am. I’m meticulous about what comes in and out of my house, but I know that all it takes is one wrong seat in the movie theater or Benny coming home from preschool with some other kid’s infested jacket and I’m screwed. This vacuum, however, sanitizes like a cleaning beast full of light sabers- each one aimed at the eggs of blood-sucking little bedbug devils.

I’d say it’s a must have for anyone living in New York or the frequent traveler. A clean home is good, a home free of bedbugs is necessary.
