Allergy sufferer? How to keep your sofa free from dust mites and dust – without chemicals

Allergiker? Så håller du soffan fri från kvalster och damm – utan kemikalier

Many Swedes live with allergies, asthma, or fragrance sensitivity. But what many forget is that textiles like sofas, carpets, and beds are often the worst dust traps. Now there's a new solution – completely chemical-free.

Allergies and hypersensitivity are increasing in Sweden. At the same time, we spend more than 90% of our time indoors – often in homes where sofas, pillows, carpets, and beds collect dust mites, dust, pollen, and odors, according to the Asthma and Allergy Association. 

For people with sensitive airways, it's often these “silent textiles” that are the problem – not just the air itself. 

"I vacuumed, aired things out. But I still didn't feel better. It was only when I deeply cleaned the sofa and bed that I noticed a difference," says Martina. 

She is one of a growing number of people who have discovered Ozoneair Wash – a Swedish textile cleaner that deep cleans with just water and steam. 

Clean without chemicals – with bubbles and steam

Wash looks like a small vacuum cleaner, but it works with micro-bubbles that penetrate the fabric and dissolve dirt and allergens. In the Wash Steam model, this is combined with hot steam that kills mites and bacteria. 

✔ Removes dust, mites, pollen, bacteria, and odor 
✔ No chemicals, no filters – just plain water 
✔ Works on sofas, pillows, beds, car seats, and carpets 
✔ No after-treatment – the textile feels dry immediately 

A revolution for sensitive noses

For those who are sensitive to perfumes, cleaning products, or chemical odors, Wash is an alternative that works. 

"I react to many scented products. But with Wash, I don't need to use any product at all. It just gets clean – and odor-free," says Martina. 

According to developer and founder Johan Lundberg at Ozoneair, allergy-friendliness was one of the starting points: 

"I wanted something that worked in my home – without strong chemicals, without scent, and without leaving the sofa wet. It didn't exist, so we built it ourselves." 

Common textiles that collect allergens 

It's not just the mattress that's the problem.

Here are some examples of textiles that can affect indoor air – without us realizing it: 

  • The sofa – few places are used so often and washed so rarely 
  • Decorative pillows – dust and perfume traps 
  • Carpets – collect dust, pollen, and pet hair 
  • Headboard – often forgotten, but can collect mites 
  • Curtains – often dusty but difficult to wash

"Suddenly it didn't just feel clean – but truly fresh"

Many users testify to the same thing: it's only when you try it that you realize what a big difference it makes. 

"It's like a film is lifted. The smell is gone, it feels easier to breathe – and I no longer have to be nervous when I have guests," says Martina.  

Wash is also easy to use, even for those who dislike technology. Fill with water, turn it on, and run the nozzle over the fabric – done. 

Ozoneair Wash is developed in Luleå in collaboration with Swedish engineers – and is currently used by young families, pensioners, pet owners, and allergy sufferers across the country. 

You can currently try it at home for 14 days – completely risk-free.
