The Potema® Method
A proven disinfection technology
A 100% eco-friendly, chemical-free solution
Traditional mattress cleaning is often ineffective—or even harmful—when it involves moisture or harsh chemicals. The Potema® method, on the other hand, relies on a patented, dry, and detergent-free technology designed to provide deep, certified disinfection—right in your home.
Mattress disinfection with the POTEMA system
“Recognized and validated by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) and by
Hotellerie Suisse, the patented POTEMA system is used by more than 6,500 technicians in 26 countries worldwide. It enables the disinfection and elimination of dust mites and bacteria inside mattresses.”
This high-tech tool allows for deep disinfection without chemicals; it destroys dust mites and removes bacteria, fungi, and other spores present within the mattress. The disinfection process, completely free of chemicals, is approved by the medical sector, which holds the highest hygiene standards.
During the full disinfection process, the machine treats the mattress with UV rays, which kill dust mites, bacteria, viruses, and spores. UV light is highly effective against all single-celled organisms such as bacteria, mold, and spores—while being completely safe for humans.
In addition to UV treatment, the Potema machine features a high-frequency vibration system. This allows particles to be loosened by brushing and then removed through
powerful suction.
Full disinfection is recommended every two years.
The 3-Step Process
Discover how the Potema® system disinfects your mattress thoroughly — without chemicals or moisture.
Method
Step 1
Powerful UV-C Rays
Elimination of Microorganisms
UV-C rays at 254 nm destroy up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, spores, and mold by targeting their DNA.
✅ Safe for humans
✅ No chemical residue
✅ Recommended in the medical field
Step 2
High-Frequency Vibrations
Allergen Removal
A high-frequency vibrating brush loosens allergenic particles such as:
- Dust mite droppings
- Fine dust
- Human or animal dander
This step prepares the mattress for effective vacuum extraction.
Step 3
HEPA-Filtered Vacuuming
Deep Extraction
A powerful vacuum system removes all loosened particles, with a HEPA filter to ensure maximum air quality.
✅ Deep cleaning down to the core of the mattress
✅ Purified ambient air
✅ No residual moisture
