UV Smartphone Cleaner
We carry something with us every day that is constantly trying to make us sick…our smartphones!
The data suggests that there's exponentially more bacteria living on your phone’s surfaces than that of the door handle at a public restroom.
Warm devices that get stored in dark places, like a purse or back pocket serve to enhance the chances of viral growth.
Wiping your device regularly is a big help, but you need to be careful with what chemicals you use as they may cloud screen protectors or damage some touch screens.
For another option that has proven to be effective, check out the devices available from a company called Phone Soap.
Instead of using chemicals to disinfect the surfaces, they use power UV light while your smartphone is charging at night.
