Sunisa's family in Nonthaburi survived 60cm flooding in their bedroom. After the water receded, the mattress sat in the sun for 5 days—seemed "dry"—and they used it again.
Within a week her daughter started coughing, nose congested, breathless at night. The doctor's verdict: mold spore allergy.
Modern mattresses have foam, sponge, synthetic fiber—soaking water 8–10 cm deep. Sun-dried mattresses look dry, but internal humidity stays at 30–40%—an ideal mold breeding ground within 48 hours.
WHD measured the mattress at 38% humidity and processed it for 5 hours—down to 8% with UV-C-killed spores.
"I regret using that mattress before knowing this. Every flood-affected home needs this service." — Sunisa
