If you’re a “Monkish” sort of person and compulsively clean everything around you, this may not be news. But the rest of us might be in for a big surprise. According to the good folks at VIOlight, the average mobile phone is literally covered in germs and is likely dirtier than any other surface in your home or office, including door knobs and toilet seats. That isn’t too surprising, considering that people carry and use their phones everywhere, including restaurants and even public restrooms.
Their proposed solution to the problem is the company’s new Cell Phone Sanitizer. Launching in October for $49.95, the unit is capable of cleaning mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, flat PDas, small MP3 players, and ear bud headphones in 3 minutes using UV light. The device is powered by three AA batteries and promises to kill 99 percent of germs and bacteria, including E. coli, listeria, salmonella, step, and the H1N1 flu virus.
Just in case this news has caused you to think about the other germ-ridden items you come into contact with every day, VIOlight also offers toothbrush, razor, retainer/denture sanitizers, and a UV wand designed to sanitize multiple surfaces such as computer keyboards and kitchen counters.
