SYSTEMATIC HYPER-HEPA AIR PURIFICATION
WHY IS AIR PURIFICATION IMPORTANT?
​​
The very act of cleaning livens up many of these particles and reintroduces them into your space by making them airborne. Larger particles can settle again in minutes, smaller particles in hours or days. Just cleaning surfaces isn't enough. Even the cleanest looking space can be filled with unwanted dander, allergens, smells and even bacteria, mold and viruses.
​
Multiple studies have been published in medical, hygienic and industrial journals as to the effects of human activity (even the slightest activity) on resting particulate matter, or PM. On average, general cleaning activities spike airborne PM2.5 anywhere from 100% to over 1,000%.*
Damp dusting helps, but running a HEPA grade air purifier during dust agitating activities reduces recirculated dust by 85-95%**
​​
By running a HyperHEPA medical grade air purifier (and HEPA vacuums) while we clean, we can air exchange up to 1,125 square feet of space every 30 minutes. This leaves you with a more complete, full spectrum clean and a significantly fresher space. Peace of mind is the only thing we want left behind.

+There is no guarantee of 100% removal of airborne particles.
++In independent laboratory testing, the HealthPro series air cleaner with HyperHEPA filter achieved 99.9% reduction of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus, and >99.9% reduction of Human coronavirus HCoV-229E (ATCC VR-740), and >99.9% reduction of Human enterovirus 71 (ATCC VR-1432).
+++Air purification does not guarantee any type of illness prevention. Always consult a medical professional or cdc.gov with respect to recommended health guidance.
AT EVERY VISIT.
We make air purification standard practice so that your asset is left with the most comprehensive clean. Whether it is an initial cleaning session or a recurring service, we always run a medical grade air purifier, systematically in your home while we clean. The goal: to reduce the amount of dust and particles that naturally re-suspend in the air while cleaning.
​The Mint Mop uses the international award winning IQ Air HealthPro Plus XE as our standard air purifier.
​​It captures 99.5% of ultra fine particles down to 0.003 microns. A 3 filter system captures dander, allergens and odors/gasses, biological contaminants, mold spores, bacterias and even viruses in their airborne state. The vast majority of HEPA air purifiers only filter down to 0.3 microns. The HealthPro Plus XE filters out particles 100 times smaller than that at 0.003 microns.​
