Vacuum-based method and apparatus for cleaning soiled articles

This invention describes a device that cleans and de-odorizes articles like clothing or shoes using a vacuum. It works by placing items inside a sealed chamber, then a vacuum pump removes air, lowering the pressure. This reduced pressure helps odors vaporize and be removed from the articles.

Why it matters: The core technology for vacuum systems and pumps has not significantly advanced in the past three years. The primary challenge remains demonstrating superior efficiency or cost-effectiveness over conventional cleaning methods.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateVacuum chamber, vacuum pump, seals
