Right after my trip to Ohio, I managed to get some kind of upper respiratory infection which pretty much kept me out of circulation for the rest of the summer and for which I am still taking medication for even after having two rounds of antibiotics and a shock treatment of steroids.
One of my main concerns while being sick was not to get anyone else in the family sick, especially my little guy…Whom is just two years old and my biggest fan, so it was really hard to keep him away from me in order to avoid getting him sick.
How far would you go?
Staying away from him was not an option, I was sick for several weeks and I needed to stay close to my baby boy, so I was very careful and tried my best not to spread whatever virus I had and I washed my hands as often as possible, but I felt that was not enough.
We spend a lot of time snuggling in the living room watching the television and sometimes we use my tablet (quite often it seems) to watch cartoons…I was concerned about handling the tablet, and other objects like the TV remote and getting him sick.
UV- C light
UV light has been used for several years in the medical field as an effective sanitizing method, Phone Soap uses the UV- C light technology to kill germs.
How does it work?
To give you an idea of how does the UV light works, let me start by saying that there are three UV light wavelength categories: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. The UV-C wavelength is different as the first two are longer and not a germicidal while the UV-C light is shorter and an effective germicidal wavelength.
The UV-C light is deadly to microorganisms because it destroys nucleic acids and breaks apart the germ DNA and as a result, they cannot function or reproduce and the organism ends up dying.
The PhoneSoap XL UV- C light sanitizer is an easy and effective way to avoid the spread of germs and can be used on anything from a pacifier which inevitably ends up on the floor, to a tablet and anything in between.
The handy sanitizer can be used on a multitude of items, which items did I use it on the most? Well the pacifiers, remote control, my phone and my tablet which is the initial intent of this device.
User friendly
The unit is extremely easy to use, just plug it in, insert whatever it is you want to sanitize, close the door and the lighting symbol on the door will light up…The process takes about 15 minutes and when the cycle is complete, the unit will shut off.
Handy
The unit allows you to charge your tablet while it is being sanitized thanks to a slot on the back of the unit that allows you to insert the charger cable into the PhoneSoap XL.
This UV-C light Sanitizer is said to kill 99.99% of Germs without harming your tablet or other items that can be sanitized.
The process is done purely with the UV-C lights, so there is no heat, no liquid and no chemicals making the process save for all family members.

I have heard that our cell phones were dirtier than our bathrooms I just didn’t realize that our phones actually wear a breeding ground for bacteria because they’re always warm. Makes total sense.
I learned that the UVlight is safe to use on your phones/gadgets. I like that you can charge your Tablet while it is being sanitized. Very great idea that only takes about 15 minutes.
Doctors and hospitals use this on their tablets that they carry around. If it’s good enough for a hospital, it’s good enough for me. I like that it sanitizes and helps to prevent acne caused by phone use.
Wow! Very cool. It cleans while it charges. Who knew phones were dirtier than shoes or toilets?
I’d actually love to get this for my mom. She has a very bad heart and needs to stay away from germs and such. I worry about her a lot!
I would love this because I know my phone is so dirty and really needs to be cleaned! I learned that a phone has 18 times more bacteria on it than a public restroom. Gross!
I think this is a super device. Phones to get dirty. I learned that it is being used in many hospitals to reduce infections.
Ok, scary to find out your phone is filthier than your toilet seat…. I NEED this baby with 4 kids and school days just starting. The phones are always being touched and this would eliminate the germs by GREAT means!
The two UV-C lamps in PhoneSoap 2.0 produce a very specific wavelength of light which encompass your phone and pass through the cell walls of bacteria and virus to impair their DNA. Once the DNA is compromised, the cells die and can no longer cause infections or disease. that is what i learned and it fits iphone 7 plus and large phones id like one cause my son gets ahold of my phone all the time and it sure does see alot of wipes and this seems easy and less messy like super easy to use
I’d like a phone sanitizer because I carry my phone EVERYWHERE with me. It sees a lot of germs because of how often I use it and where. This would be great!
Wow this would be awesome to have. I use wipes on my phone and worry about damaging it but this would alleviate that for sure. I know how gross phones, remotes, etc are and this would be great. thanks!
I’d like one because I see how dirty my phone’s case can get. I can only imagine the amount of germs on it! I learned that it doesn’t just sanitize it also charges your devices!
I learned, PhoneSoap will clean anything that fits inside. How fantastic is this? I know our TV remote would be one of the first cleaned. Cool, very cool.
I learned that phonesoap will clean anything inside of the case. I love it! I saw it on Shark Tank. Thank you so much for the offer!!
I learned that it will clean whatever is in the case. This is awesome! Def much needed on the farm. Thank you!
I would love this I know my phone needs attention and I can clean it quickly and easily
i learned that your cell phone is more dirty than the sole of your shoes.I would like to win this to give to my step daughter as she would love something like this
I learned they have areally cool product called phone soap polish, which is like a lip balm that you rub on your screen. I would love to get this phone sanitizer, because my phone always has fingerprints and dirt marks and I wonder just how clean I can truly get it without using soap and water.
I like any product that helps the spread of germs. The 15 minute wait time would be manageable. This would be great for items we want to clean, especially when my kids are in school.
It’s says it kills 99.99 percent of germs this is pretty cool cause I’m al ways wiping my phone with rubbing alcohol.
I would love this. You don;t really think about all the germs on your phone. This would be very handy!
i would love to win this so everyone could keep their phones clean to prevent the spread of potentially harmful bacteria, especially since flu season is coming.
I learned that our cell phones are dirtier than our public bathrooms which is disgusting. I never clean my phone which I should. I bring my phone everywhere.
i would snaitize my phone with this .i use it all the tine and am sure it is super germy
This is great for ppl with compromised immune systems. I like that it’s portable. I’m a germaphobe lol.
I remove the covers on my phone to clean them, but not often enough. I’d love to try this. Then I need to win a microscope to see it.
I learned that phones are dirtier than bathrooms. Warmth is a breeding ground & most phones are kept in warm places. I like the portability of the item also. I’d like one of these to stop the spread of bacteria.
I saw this on a morning talk show a few months ago and have wanted one since. My 2 year old is always on her tablet and always taking off with my cellphone so this is perfect for ridding the germs.
I learned that they use UV lighting to kill the germs. You can use this for dollar bills, coins, credit cards, cell phone, all with causing no damage. I would love to try this!
I learned that you can kill 99.9% of germs on surfaces safely. I would bring this to work and sanitize everything in that place. Everything in there is old and dirty.
I learned that my cell phone is dirtier than my toilet. When I think about it, it makes sense. I clean my toilet on a regular basis. I’ve only infrequently cleaned my cell phone. I think I would get a lot of use out of this. Thanks for the chance to win.
I learned ” “When people in New York City were asked which they thought was dirtier — the sole of your shoe, a toilet seat or a cell phone — the answer was overwhelmingly the toilet seats. But they were wrong — your cell phone is more filthy.”” I had heard that a lot of things are dirtier than your toilet. Ugh.
I’d love this because I have a daughter who is always sick and they cant figure out what’s wrong with her. She has turned to avoiding many germs even though she used to work in VA hospitals and practiced uber clean habits, you never do know what you have on you from simple living, shopping, etc. She could never afford this (me either) so I’d gift to her! Thanks!
This comment could help eliminate the greater % of germs on your phones…those WORSE than a toilet seat.
I had no idea that my cell phone could be dirtier than my toilet. that’s gross. i would love one of these to clean it.
We like the large size i.e. Big enough for the iPad Pro ! Would love to have a UV sanitizer because our kids are always sharing their phones & iPads with friends, and it could possibly prevent some “suffering” during cold & flu season !
