Cyclone Stream Technology
Featuring Cyclone Stream technology, the Quilt Cleaner vacuum removes over 98% of allergens in just 3 minutes*. Cyclonic suction is a technology based on the separation of dust from the air by centrifugal force. During cleaning, the dust sticks to each other to form a mass that will then attach to the filter of the vacuum cleaner.
With more than 6,000 vibrations per minute and a heating effect, particles, allergens ans mites reach the surface of the tissues and are then aspirated.
* Internal test carried out in 2015 on 100 mattress samples.
Sensors of cleanliness and color indicators
The Quilt Cleaner mattress and sofa cleaner developed by Iris Ohyama detects and analyzes the degree of cleanliness of the cleaned surface. If the filter is red, it means that bacteria and mites are present on the tissues.
The power of the vacuum cleaner is then maximum so that the surface becomes perfectly clean. When the light turns orange, the Quilt Cleaner indicates that the cleaned surface is almost clean. Finally, when the filter becomes green, it means that there are more mites detected within the mattress, sofa, cushion or other fabric.

I suffer from psoriasis and have just had a bad flare, I have used this on the bed, mattress, duvet, and pillows and they really do feel a lot better, I am using it every day whilst flaring, but now I have found this will be using daily, it certainly sorts the bed out, I have even done the chairs in the living room, always feel a lot better when it goes from red to green, so easy to use glad I bought i
This machine is not available near me. I have allergies and my place gets easily dusty. This is a good investment as it really helps keep my bed and furniture dust free. I hope it is durable. My only suggestion is to have a version with Australian plugs because had to buy a plug and wait week or so to be able to use it.
Really powers into
Mattresses
great product, perfect for mattress, carpets and sofas. However it comes with a chord. Would be nice to have a V2 without chord.
All the dust that came from the first attempt was amazing to see, the suction has great pickup I have become addicted to using this product, I go over my mattress once a week and my sheets, blankets and pillows every couple of days and I’m amazed at what this picks up, the only thing I wish it had was the UV light but this is a very good product to own. Other reviews have mentioned that they can just use their hoover to do the same but it won’t have the same results as this gives you, I should have got this sooner.
This product can fully clean my mattress, I am very satisfied with this machine.
I highly recommend this product, it really works.
I love the built in traffic light system. It’s very light weight and easy to use.

I highly recommend this product, I wish I had bought one years ago.
Excellent product, works well and removes dust mites. Highly recommend
This matress vac is so easy to use and keep clean. I am very pleased with the way it performs and would certainly recommend it.
Very pleased with it, I use it when changing the bedding and am surprised by the amount of dust it collects.
I kind of like this, have used it on charis, sofa and mattress. The RAG lights simply alert to particles passing a sensor but they do seem pretty accurate if you go over the same place again. Used slowly it is more efective. Could be better with more suction and a longer lead. The vibrating sole plate definitely removes more than a standard vacuum. not sure how effective the heat is without being able to test the dust!

This hoover is pretty fantastic imo.
It does a good job at getting up any dirt and debris off mattresses and chairs etc. You’d be surprised by how much it picks up. I was shocked at how filthy things were!
It has a built in dust detector that flashes green when it’s at a minimal dust level which is very handy.
The only downside of it, is that it’s quite loud.

On the handle of the appliance you have press buttons which are well marked, on/off switch and if you press mode and you can cycle between low, standard and high.
When using the machine as you glide it along a mattress, it will turn red, orange or green. Red is when it is not that clean, orange when cleaner and green when ultra clean. The machine seemed to find a lot of ‘red’ and to be honest I was sceptical as I have always been quite proud of my housekeeping skills and thought it must be some ploy. However, when I came to clean the filter I was horrified to see such a lot of white on the filter and it looked revolting. The filter was easy to take out of the machine and I cleaned it with warm soapy water. I left it to dry and reinserted.
I lent the machine to my daughter who has a young family and although ‘red’ didn’t come up as often, she was suitably impressed.
To the eye, your bed mattress may look immaculate but it is only when this little machine gets to work you realise it is not as clean as you think. I have used it on mattresses, duvets and pillows. Using this machine is addictive and I really enjoy using it and the end result is my mattresses etc are super clean. Now I have it, I wouldn’t want to be without it. I was sceptical at first that it would work but I have been totally won over. It will be especially useful for people who suffer from asthma etc.
It’s small and genuinely lightweight at about 1.6kg. It has a long cord do you can comfortable vacuum a king-sized bed easily. There’s a slightly gimmicky thing with lights on the front-you are meant to know you have vacuumed to the point of clean when the green light comes on. I’m not sure what sensor measures this and how but if you get an orange light and then go over an area a few times, the light eventually goes green. It’s very easy to clip out the filter and clean and after vacuuming a mattress and four pillows there was an impressive amount of fluff in the filter area. Dust mites are microscopic so not seen by the naked eye!
The vacuum’s claim is that it has vibrate and cyclone technology for extra cleaning. Our Dyson does the same and came with a mattress attachment which, I think, works as well. It also came with several other attachments and so has many other uses. At 89.90 at the time of writing this is a good quality product if you really need just a small plug in vacuum with a long lead, but it’s not handheld or chargeable and is really too small to do the floors in a large house. Perhaps if you live in a flat with limited space and some carpet and soft furnishings you may wish to also vacuum, this would be a great idea as your only vacuum. Otherwise, you’re better off putting the money towards a larger vacuum with the appropriate attachment for the job.
It looks like a mini vacuum cleaner and it’s well-designed, powerful with good suction power and fairly loud but perfectly tolerable. It’s not too cumbersome but can feel heavier than it is because of the short (non-extendable) handle; you need to make sure you are close to whatever you’re vacuuming to avoid back pain from hunching over with the weight of the vacuum. It’s comfortable to grip though and easy to manoeuvre.
The vacuum is really straight forward to use and doesn’t require any fiddly assembly or prep work. It has a big triple light indicator which comes on as soon as you start vacuuming a surface: red means it’s very dusty and you need to go over the area again, orange means it’s almost done and green means you’ve sorted the dust mites and can move on to another patch.
I rather like the light system you can see dust particles collecting in the vacuum but it isn’t as much as I see in a regular carpet vacuum cleaner. Obviously I don’t have a lab to carry out clinical tests to know for sure whether all the dust mites have been eliminated, but I’m going to go on trust and follow what the Lights of Cleanliness are telling me and feel some sense of satisfaction that I’m doing my best to get rid of dust mites that inevitably (often invisibly) inhabit every home. Health is important after all and the little bit of extra time and effort mite-vacuuming requires is worth it for the peace of mind and relief from allergy-related symptoms so many of us suffer from. Looks like a worthwhile investment for your health and it’s easy to incorporate into your cleaning attack plan for the home so it’s a big thumbs up from me.
Great product for a great price. Super easy to use, cable is long enough does the job perfectly. Just a few buttons on the panel so there is no space for confusion in terms of how to use the product. Once it is running will indicate you if the mattress or pillow are: clean- green colour, almost clean- orange/yellow colour or not clean- red colour. No assembly needed- product is ready to use straight away. 3 modes: high, standard, low, takes around 3-4 minutes to clean approx 98% of dust, 6000 vibrations per minute. The light of this vacuum is only 1,6 kg so your hands are not gonna get tired. Mesh filter can be replaced or washed with water, dust cup has to be emptied once now and then. Great product if you have small kids around or simply if you have dust allergy. Very useful and cleaver device. It is a YES from me.

It’s sized well to treat larger pieces of furniture without being too ungainly and the weight is well balanced. You use it like any vacuum but it’s worth moving it more slowly to make sure you’re treating each area thoroughly. As you move it around the light built into the dust chamber changes colour to indicate how much dust or fibre is being sucked up – a red light means you’re getting particles while a green one means it’s clear and you can move on. There’s a sensor at the base of the dust chamber that monitors particles flying in through the air inlet to achieve this and although it’s not an exact science it does work to an extent.
The dust chamber just snaps on/off the main unit and although it’s small it holds a reasonable amount. It contains a fabric filter and that, together with the other parts, are all washable – you just give them a quick rinse under a tap to remove all the trapped dust. It’s maybe advisable to empty the chamber first outside straight into a bin, especially if you’re sensitive to dust. The filter and chamber parts dry again really quickly so you can be ready to go again quite soon.
We’ve tried it on various bits of furniture with, of course, variable results. On chairs and cushions that are regularly used and we’ve had for years there was a satisfying amount of dust and fluff removed. That was mostly grey and just looked like regular house dust. We do vacuum that furniture occasionally so I think this cleaner was removing dust a regular vacuum cleaner had missed, probably due to the vibrating percussive bar this cleaner has. I also tried it on a mattress topper that’s a couple of years old and that just yielded a moderate amount of white fibrous fluff, so I suspect that was mostly just fibres from the cover. Of course I didn’t grab my microscope to check for dust mites so I can’t say if they got caught too but it seems likely at least some would have been.
So do you need it? Depends on how house-proud and/or dust sensitive you are. If you have a real allergy or sensitivity I think a cleaner like this would be worth trying, it does seem to make a very decent job of releasing and capturing very fine dust and fibres. I must admit that although I don’t have a particular sensitivity to dust mites or dust the bed and furniture does ‘feel’ cleaner (at least in my mind) after using this and it’s quite satisfying, though it’s slightly pricey.
Pros
1) It’s fairly light weight so easy to pick up and put on the mattress
2) It’s sort of half normal vacuum height so comfortable to push back and forth across the mattress
3) there is an indicator light that goes from red – dirty, through amber – nearly clean, to green – clean. I have to admit I was a little skeptical about this light, thinking it was on a timer or something to encourage you to use the machine. However, the light is actually connected to two dust sensors, so it is measuring the amount of dust it’s picking up.
4) It does pick up a lot of dust, my visually clean mattress actually generated loads of dust – so much that I wished I hadn’t used the tool and remained in happy ignorance.
5) It has a sensor that tells you when it’s time to empty the dust collector and filter. So depending on the amount of dust you get from each mattress you can probably go around all of them without having to empty.
6) As well as sucking up the dust, this gadget pumps out heated air. I believe the idea is that it will kill any dust mites that successfully evade the suction.
CONS
1) It’s a bit of a fiddle to empty. you are supposed to take off the dust collector cup then put it in water to take off the filter. This is so the dust isn’t spread around the house as you empty it. But it does mean that you then have a wet filter that must sit around and dry out.
2) It’s just one more gadget that you have to find room for. I think, if I had just a regular hoover this would get used much more often. However, I’m lucky enough to have a lift-away hoover with a powered pet hair head and I think it does just as good a job.
If you haven’t got a hoover that is suitable for cleaning mattresses then I think you will love this. Actually, you’ll probably hate it when you see how much dust can accumulate. This is doubly true if anyone in your household suffers from dust mite allergy, asthma or other breathing related illness. For me. I think I’ll stick with my hoover for now, but maybe do a deep clean of the mattresses two or three times a year.
Pros:
– Sucks up loads and load of invisible dust you didn’t know was there!
– Three lights to let you know when your furniture is clean
– Extremely light weight and easy to use
Cons:
– It’s a pretty loud little vacuum as it’s so powerful!
I literally couldn’t believe how much dirt/dust this picked up from our sofa cushions. In my defense they were second hand so I’m not going to take all the blame, but we were pretty disgusted when we saw how much it pulled up! There are three settings you can use: low, medium and high (which requires a long press of the mode button) and they are all fairly loud as the suction is very powerful.
You need to give it some welly when pushing it back and forth – my partner tried to do it slowly but this wasn’t kicking up any dust so the best thing is to do it quicker to disrupt the surface (and also bring mites out) – this is when the vacuum turned red to show us how bad it was. It eventually turned to orange, then green, and our cushions look so much cleaner. We also tried it in the carpet and mattress – again, they look visibly cleaner! The bar also heats up to kill mites too and there is an agitator underneath that kicks in when the setting is high.
All in all, really highly recommended for anybody wanting a cleaner home. Absolute must for allergies, honestly I can’t believe how much it picks up – I hoover our couch regularly so the fact it still picked up loads of dirt is pretty remarkable. Totally worth the price due to the fact it’s lightweight, doesn’t take much space and works really well.
At first my partner thought this mattress vacuum is nothing but a gimmick. But we used on our beddings which made him wow.
We actually change beddings almost every two weeks as we do a lot of “bedtime activity”. I don’t know whether it is men are less attention to details or they just simply care less. He even put the travel suitcase on the bed to pack ( to me it is extremely dirty) So we use this vacuum like every sunday. It does help remove a lot of dead cells and allergens.
I like the indicator light ( red, orange and green) which tells you whether it is done or not. very innovative design and good produc

This is a powerful handheld machine with three suction speeds. I used it on my bed, pillows,duvet and chairs. It has a coloured coded system, red for dirty, amber for in between and green for clean. When I emptied the filter it had collected powder like dust. It has a long lead so I was able to vac the bed without changing sockets, you really feeling the suction when its working, it is comfortable to work with although it is a bit heavier than a standard handheld vacuum. The filter is easily removed for cleaning and the whole cleaning process was quicker than I had expected. It is so nice to vac the bed when changing the sheets, the whole bed feels so much cleaner.
The OHYAMA IC-FAC2 mattress cleaner is a really useful product. It came fully assembled, and although I double checked the filters were correctly in place (also easy to do) it was essentially plug and go. The long cord also means no need for an extension lead on most occasions which makes for extra ease and a quicker job. Although stating it is foremost a mattress cleaner, it is a good item to be used on a myriad of other items including sofas, chairs and cushions.
So far I have tested the item on two chairs and my living room sofa. The traffic light system gives confidence that I was doing a good job, but in all honestly I just found it rather satisfying each time I got the green light! It’s a small and fairly lightweight device and I can visibly see the difference it has made (which is wonderful!), as well as I hope a difference to things that I can’t see such as allergens. As someone who suffers with allergies and asthma it’s claim to reduce 98% of allergens is just what I need, although I’m unsure how I could ever measure this… One minor drawback is the cleaner’s bulky head, which means it’s not ideal for any surface which isn’t flat such as chair arms and I found myself using my other hand to help keep the device flat-ish to these parts.
Overall I was pleased with the ease of use and look forward to testing it out on the mattress next.Recommended for allergy And asthma sufferers or if you just like a nice clean soft furnishings.

Not sure about the indicator light as it stayed green consistently throughout the mattress clean, tested on carpet as it says in the instructions highly dusty areas such as carpets won’t light green but it stayed green as well. I continued the clean and checked the filter and I’m surprised at how much dust was in it from two mattress cleans considering the fact that I hoover the mattresses often due to my daughter having eczema. Handy size to clean with and I’m impressed! Never knew I needed this until now!

I like this vacuum cleaner. It feels and looks well made. My mattresses are all covered with mattress covers and I vacuum them each time I change the sheets so I did expect mattresses to be fairly clean. This little vacuum uses cyclone stream technology and I have no idea what that means except that t e vacuum vibrates bring dust particles to the surface where they can be sucked up. I found the vacuum easy to use and it angled easily. The mattress on spare bed showed orange briefly on areas and soon turned to green. The mattress nightly use spiked red briefly on the areas but soon settled to orange and eventually green Judging by the dust it extracted I think it does work well.
This lightweight easy to use cleaner really does pull out the things your standard vacuum misses. I had a thoroughly cleaned sofa so I figured this would be a good place to put this through its paces. The instructions are simple to follow, the cord length is really good. It’s ready to use out of the box. So, I switch it on, put it onto the sofa and sure enough I get a red glow to the dust chamber, I keep going over the area and it fades to amber and eventually to green. Being the nosey person I am I immediately look at the filter and dust chamber and wish I hadn’t.
I couldn’t identify life forms but there was some grotty looking dust (probably the very stuff that has me sneezing all year round). So, if it’s drawing that from a very clean sofa, I can’t wait (with a wee dollop of horror) to find out what my nice ‘clean’ beds are harbouring.
This really does work, it’s easy to maintain, the filter you wash by hand and leave to dry. It’s a good price as it’s a really well made piece of equipment, if it can keep the allergens I can’t see down then I’ll be very, very happy.

I live this cleaner which is specifically designed to clean mattresses but can be used on pillows, sofas and other soft furnishings too. It is lightweight and easy to use. It has a green light to indicate when the cleaning process is complete. I suffer from dust allergy and it is frightening to see how much dust this cleaner removes! Very effective and a great help in cleaning difficult items around the house.

For peace of mind this is a great addition to any home, particularly where a family member suffers from allergies. There is a really long lead that allows you to reach curtains, bedding and all soft furnishings without the constant need to move from one socket to another.
We regularly vacuum clean the mattresses and follow up with a high powered steam cleaner, despite this we still found areas where the amber colour showed the presence of dustmites and this powerful cleaner soon got rid of them.
It’s going to be used even more so when we change the bedding and switch between duvets to suit the seasons. Our eldest has been prone to allergic reactions since a very early age and this would have made life so much easier had it been around then. The levels of suction are variable and the photo above shows what was removed from use on one bedroom. Easy to clean and it takes up very little space, time will tell whether or not there is a marked difference healthwise.
Sometimes i don’t know the real state of my sheets or furniture, And i often over wash towels and covers in fear that i may have missed bacteria, Especially when having to use a lower temperature wash. I had seen these interesting gadgets on TV where people would use UV lamps to show up the real dirt that’s hidden all over hotel rooms, And it is quite a shocker to see what lurks away from plain view.
This affordable gadget allows me to examine and clean all the dirt all around my home, Which makes such a difference knowing i can now see where the dirt is. Since I’m allergic to dust mites, This is a game changer thanks to the green, Orange and red light indicator. This clever little device Allows me to clean areas i have missed without needing a complete hot wash to keep me safe from allergic reactions.
The vacuum has three power levels, Which helps me to choose the right kind of suction for the chosen fabric, The unit itself is not wireless, But the cable is a generous length. So far I’m impressed with it’s performance, And it shows no signs of issues or flaws with picking up bacteria.
A “bright” idea from the nation that gave us electric toilets, a vacuum cleaner for soft furniture with a built-in traffic light report on cleanliness.
There’s no question, Iris Oyhama’s mattress vacuum lives up to its product description.
There’s a little bit of nostalgia in the words to the effect that it “beats as it sweeps as it cleans”. Beating 6,000 times a minute is obviously much more in line with 21st Century technology. It claims there’s a heating element too.
That said, this is a mains device and, even with quite a long lead, in the age of the cordless Dyson that’s a bit of a step back. The small cleaning unit is not as light-weight as you might wish, so reaching across mattresses is harder work than it could be.
We tried it out on living room and bedroom furniture and watched the lights scroll up and down the traffic-light sequence. Small quantities of variously coloured debris and animal hair ended up in the small hopper and on the filter.
We might chase round the sofa cushions and backs with the slot-ended nozzle on the hoover, but in the normal course of events we don’t vacuum the bed. With a dedicated and confidently clean device maybe we would.
The product description concentrates on anti-mite and anti-bacterial features. You can’t really see either in any debris collection zone, so results are difficult to judge. Tackling mites seems reasonable, and with the heating aspect bacteria is possible. UV might be better.
The traffic light report is entertaining and looks convincing in action, but its hard to know if they’re statistically significant when you pass back over a green area and the light goes red again, so the jury’s out on that one.
It’s called the Cyclone Stream and has all the hallmark features of a Dyson-type whirlwind cleaner, except that as owners of a cordless stick we didn’t see anything like the familiar Wizard of Oz whirl of captured debris.
On balance, as a dedicated device designed specifically to operate on soft furnishings, it certainly works as a vacuum cleaner, and there are no concrete reasons to doubt the other features.
For peace of mind this is a great addition to any home, particularly where a family member suffers from allergies. There is a really long lead that allows you to reach curtains, bedding and all soft furnishings without the constant need to move from one socket to another.

I have no idea who Iris Ohyama are but the brand is originally from Japan.
This is a small hand held cyclone stream vacuum cleaner. I tested this out on my pillows, duvet, and double mattress. You can see the resulting dust picked up in the picture.
The vacuum is really easy to use. Press the on button and then select your power level and off you go. Go up and down over the same strip until it has gone green on the vacuum cylinder. The green light indicates that the patch you have gone over is clean. If you see red or orange then you need to stay cleaning that patch.
The vacuum does make a noise but it is not that loud, and you can hear it on the video provided. I recorded this at high power. The power cord is 4 meters long which is more than enough. The manufacturer claims that in 3 minutes it can eliminate 98% of fine particles, mites, and allergens.
Overall I think this is a great cleaner to keep upstairs to keep the bed and pillows clean. A good idea would be to keep this upstairs in a cupboard for a quick clean so you can leave your main vacuum downstairs.
Quite expensive at 90, but I would expect it to be cheaper in a few months. Alternatively there is for example an Amazon Basics handheld for half the price at 42.
A real cool little vacuum that packs some serious power. Great for a quick hoover round after the kids have had little snacks. It really sucks up a ton of filth that you can’t see with the naked eye. Can be used for car carpets, matresses, sofa, curtains and rugs. I wouldn’t recoment hoovering a whole room carpet with it as it doesn’t hold that much in the tank. It’s is perfect for a quick tidy up though and very portable.
