We're pretty sure that not many of you realize that your cellphones carry a huge collection of bacteria collected from just about everywhere you've been (and if you've left it out, on a table or counter, things are actually even worse) and for this reason, the VIOlight company, specialized in all sorts of ultraviolet light – based germ-killing solutions, has just released what they claim to be the first ever UV Cell Phone Sanitizer.
According to the manufacturer, the UV Cell Phone Sanitizer eliminates up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria on cell phones, and other small electronic devices using VIOlight's germicidal UV light, the same technology used in hospitals, that decreases the number of strep, E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and H1N1 virus germs and bacteria in three minutes.
The VIOlight IV Cell Phone Sanitizer is battery operated, portable, and easy to use since, in order to activate, users only have to place their cell phone, earbuds, Bluetooth headsets or other small electronic device into the cradle, close the lid, and a blue-violet indicator light signals that the sanitizer is working.
The twin UV bulbs automatically shut off after three minutes when your device is ready.
The reason why such a product could really come in handy is backed up by several studies that show the average cell phone carries more germs per square inch than doorknobs, soles of shoes and most toilet seats.
"Our goal is to help make people's lives healthier with every product we develop," said Joel Pinsky, co-developer and founder of VIOlight.
"Consumers can now utilize the same UV technology used to clean their toothbrushes for their cell phones and other small electronics devices they use every day."
Luckily, the UV Cell Phone Sanitizer is also affordable-enough, the device selling for somewhere in the vicinity of $49.99 at various online outlets.
