Reducing Dust

3

Ciclos is an air purifier, a smart
vacuum and a handheld vacuum
blend together to eliminate dust.
All 3 products self-clean their filters
and collect all dust into a single
canister.

Dust is a fine, dry powder
consisting of tiny particles of
earth or waste matter lying on
the ground or on surfaces or
carried in the air.

Dust can contain very small
allergens, viruses, and
bacteria that can be very easily
inhaled by the human body
causing allergies and some
physical reactions like itching
eyes, a running nose,
sneezing and coughing to
combat the allergens.

Everyone can benefit from
less dust in their surroundings.
The main target are future
young adults (23-35 years old)
that are more willing to
integrate smart products into
their smart homes and wish to
ease the daily maintenance of
their home.

The product is designed to fit
the high rise living future in big
cities where dust and other
pollutnats are more common to
be in contact with the user.
Modular apartments with few
rooms and one story.

A variety of companies offer

amount of dust around the
household.
