UV light can kill 99.9 percent of bacteria

Because of the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), everyone is taking extra precautions by washing and sanitizing their hands more, wearing cloth face masks in public spaces, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces like door handles, countertops, and light switches. But there’s one item you touch constantly but might not think to sanitize — and you’re probably holding it right now. 

Studies have shown that your smartphone is 10 times dirtier than your toilet and harbors roughly 25,000 germs per square inch, a few scary statistics given what’s happening in the world today. And while the CDC recommends sanitizing electronics with disinfectant wipes or putting wipeable covers on them, many cleaning supplies are currently out of stock. Thankfully, there are handy devices that are just as effective for cleaning your phone, if not more so.

Several companies have started to produce UV phone sanitizers in recent years. According to the International Ultraviolet Association’s website,“UV is a known disinfectant for air, water, and surfaces that can help to mitigate the risk of acquiring an infection in contact with the COVID-19 virus when applied correctly.” 

Here are seven UV phone sanitizers that you can order online right now at phonemust.com.
