General Company FAQs

How is a Raycop Mattress Vacuum different from a regular vacuum cleaner?

Regular vacuums are designed to remove dust and debris from carpets and other flooring. Raycop Mattress Vacuums are designed to do the same but also sanitize the surfaces you’re cleaning.

One of Raycop’s goals is to change the way you feel after you vacuum your home. It’s not just dust and debris you’re eliminating, it’s viruses and bacteria that other vacuums leave behind. Not every surface in your home can be cleaned with a sanitizing wipe, Raycop is here to complete the job.

Product Maintenance FAQs

What do I do if my Raycop isn’t operating?

  • Insert the power plug into the outlet and check that the power button is lit in red. If the power button is not lit, check that the power plug is firmly inserted into the outlet.
  • Check that the power supply is 120V, 60Hz.
  • Check that the outlet is functioning properly by plugging in another electrical appliance.
  • Make sure the dust box and dust box filter are securely attached.

What do I do if the suction is not working?

Because the Raycop is protected by a motor overheating device, the suction will temporarily stop if:
The dust box or dust box filter is clogged with house dust and/or dirt.

  • The intake is clogged.
    • The Raycop was operated continuously for more than 30 minutes, pressed too firmly against the fabric, or the motor has overheated.
      After pulling out the power cord, clean the dust box and check that the intake is not clogged. Wait for about 2 hours and resume using the product. (The waiting time can differ depending on the ambient temperature).
  • If the dust box filter is clogged or suction strength decreases:
    • Protein (such as skin flakes) in house dust causes clogging. Periodically soak the filter in neutral detergent diluted with water (water to detergent ratio = 9:1) for about 5 minutes and then thoroughly wash out the filter using a brush.
  • The dust box filter has been used for 10 minutes every day for 5 to 6 months. Cleaning the clogged filter by soaking, as described above, does not remedy the problem because the filter is torn.
    • Replace the dust box filter with a new one from Raycop.

Why does the suction feel weak?

Raycop allergen vacuums are designed to provide suction appropriate for extracting mites and house dust without entangling the fabric.

What do I do if the suction decreases and my Raycop makes abnormal noises?

Check to make sure the dust box and intake are not clogged with house dust and/or dirt. Also check that the exhaust opening is not blocked and that the dust box filter and micro HEPA filter are clean.

What if the UV lamp turns off while the Raycop is running?

  • As a built-in safety feature, the UV lamp will not light if the target detection sensor on the underside of the Raycop is moved away from the fabric a certain distance. Check that the Raycop is in close contact with the fabric.
  • The UV lamp might not light if house dust, foreign objects or other substances enter the range of the target detection sensor on the underside of the Raycop.
  • The UV lamp might not appear lit if the fabric is dark in color.

Why does my Raycop make abnormal noises as if a bead is rolling around in the UV lamp?

The silver bead inside the UV lamp is essential for functions such as turning the lamp. The rolling bead sound you hear is normal.

What is the powdery dirt that accumulates on the dust box filter?

It’s a combination of dead mites, mite feces and flakes of human skin.

Do I need to remove fabric covers to get optimal results?

No, you can use your Raycop without removing fabric covers. Since house dust, dead mites and mite feces are all miniscule, they are extracted through the fibers of fabric covers.

I’m not sure the UV lamp is lit. Do I need to turn my Raycop upside down to check?

  • No, as a safety measure, the UV lamp automatically turns off when the Raycop is turned upside down because the target detection sensor is moved away from the fabric.
  • To make sure the UV lamp is turned on, check the blue UV lamp indicator light on the front of the Raycop. The indicator light does not emit ultraviolet light. It is an LED light for the sole purpose of letting you know that the UV lamp is turned on.
  • As a precaution, do not look directly at the UV lamp or directly expose the skin as this can cause injury to humans and animals.

Can I use my Raycop overseas with a converter?

We do not recommend using your Raycop mattress vacuum overseas since variations in voltage may cause damage or fire.

Is it normal to detect certain odors emanating from my Raycop Mattress Vacuum?

You might also detect a strange odor if the micro HEPA filter is clogged. If this happens, replace this filter even if before the normal replacement cycle.

Is it normal for the area around the UV lamp to discolor over time?

Yes, this is caused by the ultraviolet light from the UV lamp and is not a malfunction or defect.

Is it normal for the brush to stop rotating temporarily?

Yes, the safety circuit stops the brush rotation if excessive force is applied to the vibrating pads or brush due to pressing the fabric too forcefully. The brush will start rotating again about 3 seconds after it stops.

What does the Raycop support and warranty cover?

Raycop North America offers U.S.-based customer support by representatives who can be reached at support@Raycop.com. They can assist with questions related to how and where the cleaner should be used, as well as help troubleshoot any problems and provide information on our 30-day money back guarantee and how to process returns.

How do I know if my Raycop Mattress Vacuum is really working?

Seeing is believing. In just minutes, you’ll see your dust box filter covered with debris and particles that the naked eye normally does not see.

Raycop works with many third-party laboratories to continually innovate product design, improve product performance, and rigorously test to ensure that our allergen vacuums effectively eliminate bacteria, pollen, allergens, and dust mite matter.
