De Hygienique Review

Last Saturday, we were very pleased to have De Hygienique‘s professional and friendly staff over at our place to clean our mattresses, sofa and carpet. We have moved in for almost a year and a half now and our king-sized mattress was newly bought for this house so yes, it’s pretty new I’d say. Yet, it shocked me when they did a demo with a black cloth as the storage bag for their machine (for about a minute) and showed me how dirty my mattress was!:

De Hygienique’s mattress cleaning system is a very heavy equipment that vibrates to loosen and extract the particles and micro-organisms 4 inches deep within the mattress. Attached UV-C light inbuilt together with the cleaning system simultaneously eliminates bacteria and other harmful micro organisms like dust mites in the mattress.

After the mattress was cleaned (my mattress can only be cleaned on one side so they didn’t flip it over), the internationally patented Potema Spray is then applied on the surface to protect the mattress against micro organisms and re-infestation of dust mites. They also helped to sanitise our bedframe, pillows and bolsters with the spray. 🙂

Completing the cleaning of the mattress with the Potema spray

This 100% dry cleaning process is convenient because the mattress can be used immediately after the treatment. In fact, because no chemicals were used in the cleaning, even babies can sleep on the mattress after the cleaning treatment.

Meanwhile, another staff was cleaning my sofa. After the sofa was vacuumed to extract embedded dust and dirt particles, the fabric was thoroughly cleaned using low moisture shampoo.

Step 1: Clean the sofa with the vacuum cleaner

Shampoo (dry foam) will encapsulate dirt particles trapped in the upholstery into fine crystals which would then be removed at the end of the cleaning treatment.

Step 2: clean with dry foam – stain removal (if any) is done at this stage

Step 3: brushing off the fine crystals (dirt particles)

After the sofa cleaning process was completed, the upholstery set was sanitised to eliminate remaining dust mites and other microorganisms.

The last staff was cleaning my carpet whilst my mattresses and sofa were handled by the other two men. Thus, even though I had a relatively large sofa set, a carpet and two mattresses to clean, they took less than 1.5hours to get everything done! I also really like that they laid out the canvas sheets where they were doing the cleaning so we needn’t do additional vacuuming of the house after the cleaning.

I was really curious how they would clean the carpet since this was the first time we had our carpet professionally cleaned! We were told that they used biodegradable natural compound made of wood and maize to absorb dirt and stains within the carpet pile during the cleaning treatment.

Spraying on the crystal cleaner

The specially designed machine with motorised counter rotating brush was used to open up the carpet fibre to allow in-depth cleaning.

After the cleaning was done, the carpet was sanitised using patented anti dust mite and germicidal product to eliminate microorganisms in the carpet.

Overall, we were very pleased with the result! 😀
