How to Sanitize Your Phone Sustainably
With the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases, you may be wondering what you can do to slow the spread. The little steps you take can make all the difference when spreading germs. One of the most overlooked places that harbor harmful bacteria is our cell phones.
Experts have estimated that the average cell phone has ten times more bacteria than a toilet seat. That is an alarming estimation. Americans' have been estimated to spend over five hours on their phones a day. That is five hours of exposure to harmful bacteria that could make you sick. Learning how to disinfect your phone in the time of the pandemic is a must.
Disinfecting and Sustainability
Another global issue we all need to pay attention to is climate change. The amount of waste we as humans produce each year is frightening. In 2018 the U.S. produced 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste. And that's only factoring in the U.S.; we have to do better.
Disinfectant wipes are a significant component of unnecessary waste. They are used one time, thrown away, and then they end up in landfills. Big-name companies like Lysol and Clorox use harmful chemicals in their products that affect the environment as well. These chemicals can also be irritants to the skin and eyes. They can also cause headaches.
When someone wants to disinfect their phone, most likely, they will use one of these harmful wipes. They are especially convenient while you are on the go. But what if I told you there were other ways you can disinfect your phone and help the environment.
UV-C Light
The FDA recommends UV-C (Ultraviolet-C) light radiation as a way of disinfection. It can sterilize air, water, and nonporous surfaces. UV-C lights were also used to stop the spread of tuberculosis. We should heavily consider it for disinfecting our phones.
UV-C Light Sterilizing Boxes
You can find a multitude of UV-C light sterilizing boxes by doing a quick google search. They are great for personal use and to keep in your bag while on the go. There are even some larger boxes that allow you to fit your smartwatch and wireless earbuds. UV-C light sterilizing boxes are available in a vast range of prices. There is something for everyone.
The only downside to most UV-C light boxes is that they can take 10 minutes or more to fully disinfect your phone. We have a solution that can disinfect your phone in a fraction of the time.
