* DUST TROOPERS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PAGE

What exactly does Dust Troopers do? 
Our service is two steps.  First we treat all cloth and fabric using specialized vacuum equipment which removes 99.7% of all dust, mites and pathogens.  Next, we treat all areas of the home with a special germicidal light that kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, dust mites, viruses and pathogens.  

What is a Germicidal Light? 
Germicidal light is also known as UV-C light.  This light deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. Our specialized unit produces a high output of germicidal UV-C light which is 100% natural.  Our fixtures will provide your home, or treated area with a UV-C dosage in excess of 30,000 microwatts. UV-C is found in natural sunlight and is the band of ultraviolet rays that is the reason germs and bacteria don’t take over the earth.  The sun’s light is a natural germicide, deactivating the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and dust mites to not only destroy their ability to reproduce and cause disease, but actually kill them when they try to replicate.  Our special light reproduces that exact spectrum of the sun’s light to be able to safely use it in your home to do what the sun does outdoors: kill germs. 

What is ultraviolet light?
Ultraviolet light is part of the light spectrum, which is classified into three wavelength ranges:
- UV-C, from 100 nanometers (nm) to 280 nm
- UV-B, from 280 nm to 315 nm
- UV-A, from 315 nm to 400 nm

 

Is the Germicidal light safe? 
Absolutely!  Just as with any sun light, proper protection should be used when handling the light.  Dust Troopers® use special eye and hand wear along with protective clothing to be assured of safe treatment of your home or business.  UV-C light has been used effectively and safely for more than 100 years, and is presently used in hospitals for disinfecting.   

What makes Dust Troopers® different? 
 Other services out there concentrate on just the mattress.  We concentrate on the entire room as one unit for a clean beyond clean.

Other services simply use a light wand and nothing more.  A UV-C light wand is basically worthless.  To effectively kill germs, a UV-C light wand has to be held over a surface for at least 5 minutes!  That means to effectively kill germs in a bed, it would take literally more than 8 hours, to service a small section at a time.  Mattress services using UV-C light say they can complete the service in 5 minutes, which is not enough time to kill anything.  Our specialized light literally baths the room during treatment, covering everything to 99.9% complete treatment.  There is no other comparison out there!

What’s best is our service covers the ENTIRE room—the bed, the carpet, the floor, the walls, the furniture and the air as well!   

How often should the service be done? 
We recommend every 6 months to maintain healthy living.  For those who suffer from heavy allergies, more often can be helpful.

How do I know you have done your job? 
At Dust Troopers® we will show you before we begin the job that all of our filter systems are new and clean.  At the end of the job, we will show you what we removed from your mattress, furniture, drapery, carpets and air system.  You can judge for yourself if we have done our job properly!

Clients report to us the overall feeling of well being after our service!  Your rooms will have a cleanness to them that must be experienced!
