I’ll be the first to admit that I am NOT a clean freak. I want to be a clean freak. I really do. I love a clean house and find it hard to function when the clutter and dog hair and dust start to take over. But the logistics of getting/keeping a clean house can be kind of overwhelming.
All that said. we have one kid with pretty severe allergies and two pets. So that means, by default, that I have to be diligent about keeing a cleaner environment…both for my kid and for my own sanity.
But when I have company (which we have a lot of during the holiday season!), I’m a totally different person. The house needs to shine. It needs to be clean from every angle. Floors need to shine. Counterops need to reflect. Linens need to be fresh.
The RAYCOP RS2 purifier literally takes cleanliness to a whole new level. A handheld vacuum with a HEPA filter, ultraviolet light technology and three operating modes, the RAYCOP RS2 is an easy and fast way to sanitize any fabric surface in your home.
Here are some places we use ours:
- Dog beds (they’re so gross…with the RAYCOP, we can clean them regularly without having to take them apart and throw them in the laundry, which is a total pain!)
- Couch (it’s just easier to clean all the dog hair off with the RAYCOP than with our traditional vacuum)
- Mattresses and blankets (after one minute of cleaning, the RAYCOP removes 99.8% of pollen…that’s a big deal during allergy season)
The patented RayClean Technology® eliminates common allergens and pollutants. It also picks up 99.99% of bacteria after just two seconds.
The RAYCOP is super handy for last-minute vacuum jobs, unexpected messes, and adding that final, extra-clean touch to any of your fabric surfaces. It’s not nearly as cumbersome as my regular vacuum…and it does a much better job on these tricky surfaces!
While it’s technically a vacuum you can hold with one hand, it has a few key differences from the hand-held vacuum you’re probably thinking of! The RS2 is super sturdy and stout, and it’s designed to lay perfectly flat on the surface of any fabric. This gives it a better ability to sterilize, suck up the dust and dirt, and filter.
The three settings are determined by the type of the fabric you’re cleaning: “heavy” for mattresses and coarse upholstery (I use this setting for our futon, which our dogs think is their bed), “normal” for bed linens (this is what we use for the actual dog beds), and “light” for delicate fabrics and clothing (most likely, we’ll use this setting to clean off the curtains we’ve had hiding in a closet for years and are about to put up in my son’s room).
Unlike a regular vacuum, RAYCOP purifiers have a dual filtration system incorporating a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter which is proven to capture 99.9% of common allergens.

AND! This is awesome. I’m giving away a RAYCOP LITE (MSRP of $189.99) to one lucky reader.
The RAYCOP LITE is RAYCOP’s most portable and versatile purifier, but it’s powerful enough for most sanitizing jobs. It’s handy size makes it appropriate for the same jobs as the RAYCOP RS2, but also great for cleaning throw pillows and upholstery. I love that you can whip this out to clean up a mess or freshen up your curtains or dog beds and not have to do laundry. It’s perfect for use on delicate surfaces like clothes, and it can be used to sanitize yoga mats!
I feel like I’m always doing laundry…the RAYCOP is a great way to cut back on laundry, meaning you’re saving water and electricty…while purifying parts of your home at the same time. The RAYCOP LITE also comes with a HEPA filter and UV technology.

With 4 dogs and 2 cats, I NEED THIS for our new house! Looks a lot easier and more effective than the vacuum.
We just got a dog and I’m still learning how to deal with the hair. This would be amazing.
I’m kinda OCD about a clean house, which takes more time if I do it the way my grandma and mom taught me. All the dust and pet hair would be gone and who doesn’t want things sanitized and pure during the winter months with all the things going around. RAYCOP LITE sounds like a dream come true.
Thanks Carrie Elle!
Would love to use this for new baby since we also have a small dog!
I was searching for a suitable mattress for my kids. It was being difficult for me as people said it would be ok to buy spring or foam mattress for them. But according to me I felt these mattress would weaken their backbones. While reading your article I was convinced to buy Hybrid mattresses for them. Thank you!
The couch. Grandkids. Enough said.
I am super excited about this since, with two dogs and three kiddo’s, I am always cleaning! I love that this sanitizes things, like a couch, that I feel is never really clean and can’t just toss in the washing machine! I would love to use this for my dog beds and so many other places that I am constantly trying to keep clean and germ free!
