We are ready, nonetheless, to start spring cleaning, no matter what the thermometer says, because the calendar is going to say it's summer in a scant five weeks and if we don't get the spring cleaning done now, we'll have to call is summer cleaning, or skip it altogether until spring, 2011 (not bad idea).

There is no better piece of equipment for a deep cleaning than Verilux's Cleanwave UV-C Sanitizing Furniture and Bed Vac. The "magic" in the UV-C light eliminates up to 99.9% of "bad stuff," like viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, nasty dust mites, and flea eggs from just about any household surfaces.  In fact, the Verilux Company says that in tests conducted by a recognized antimicrobial-testing laboratory, the machines (plural, as there are two smaller models), effectively even eliminated H1N1 and MRSA viruses on surfaces.  Good enough for us.

And with-know-whom, Mr. Four-Legged Furry-Boy in the house, we're very interested in anything that gets rid of wicked germs and Lord-only-know-what might be tracked into the old homestead by dirty paws.  The machine, which looks likes an oversized hand-held vac is designed to clean and sanitize countless household surfaces-things like upholstered furniture, mattresses, pet areas, and so on.  It keeps the surfaces germ- and allergen-free without harsh chemicals-not to mention it cleans dust and dirt.

Compact and portable, the five-pound, lightweight unit is available now at Amazon  and on the company's website, and at stores nationwide for $129.95.  The two smaller models, both hand-held wands, are $69.95, and $29.95.  The smaller of the two is a portable, travel-size, and is a perfect for a conscientious road warrior who may want to give a quick, sanitizing pass over hotel bedding.
