Located in Fairfield, CT, The General Electric Company, or GE, has developed micro-filtration vacuum bags that provide antibacterial cleaning. These GE vacuum bags trap microscopic irritants and pollutants that trigger most dust-related allergies. They also destroy germs and bacteria and offer 99.70% filtration of all particles that enter the bag. Unlike ordinary bags, Micro-Filter vacuum bags more than double the performance and cleaning ability of your vacuum and do not release indoor allergens back into the air. A study by the University of Virginia Asthma and Allergic Diseases Center found that allergy sufferers can benefit greatly from using multi-layer micro-filtration bags like these made by GE.
