Halo Intros New Ultraviolet Vacuum
Charlotte, NC, May 2, 2007--Halo Technologies, Inc. today introduced the Halo UVX Ultraviolet Vacuum, the only vacuum on the market that uses ultraviolet light to safely and instantly kill dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, lice, fleas and other germs lurking in your home's carpets. And, it does all of this without using chemicals that can harm your children and pets. The Halo UVX is the first of a line of ultraviolet household cleaning products the company plans to launch in upcoming months that will revolutionize the way we clean.
"Our company and our products were born from watching our triplet boys crawl on our carpets," said Ken Garcia, CEO of Halo Technologies, Inc. "It made us wonder how clean the carpets actually were. Our research findings were astonishing; there are literally millions of harmful germs and micro-organisms living in carpets and mattresses. That's when we knew that we needed to make a product that would rid our homes of these unwanted pests - not just make things look clean."
Lifelong allergies are developed within the first 24 months of life. The most common indoor allergen that triggers symptoms in humans is the dust mite. At least 85 percent of homes have carpets, and a typical carpet harbors more than 100,000 dust mites per square yard, not to mention molds, bacteria, viruses and other allergens. The Halo UVX is the only vacuum that "Cleans what you see, Kills what you can't(TM)." It uses the same ultraviolet light, UV-C, that has been used for more than 60 years by water treatment facilities to purify our drinking water and by hospitals to sterilize operating rooms and medical instruments.
UV Light in the "C" spectrum (UV-C) deactivates the DNA of dust mites, bacteria, viruses (including influenza), germs and molds, destroying their ability to multiply. The patent-pending Halo UVX contains a UV-C bulb chamber at the bottom of the vacuum that can be activated by a switch on the handle. Simply activate the UV-C bulb chamber while running the Halo UVX over your carpets and instantly kill these unwanted household pests lurking between the fibers.

In addition to the UV-C light, the Halo UVX vacuum features:
-- HEPA filtration
-- Powerful suction design
-- Telescoping handle for easy maneuverability and storage
-- 31' power cord to give you more vacuuming freedom

The Halo UVX will be available in May 2007 on the Halo web site ( www.gethalo.com) at a MSRP of $399.00.
