  • We can’t help but touch dirty things. The problem is when we touch our phones and pass along the germs from our hands to our devices. It’s easy to wash our hands, but we don’t wash our phones. Those germs on our devices thrive and spread and can make us sick.

    The average phone is crawling with 18 times more bacteria than a public restroom. That means you’re just as likely to get sick from your phone as from the handles in the bathroom. Your phone breeds more bacteria, too. Your phone’s battery keeps it warm, and when it's stored in balmy, dark spaces like your pocket or purse, it creates even more germs.

  • When you want to clean your cell phone (or anything else that fits inside), put it in your PhoneSoap and close the lid. For a 10-minute cycle, a powerful UV-C light kills viruses, bacteria and other harmful germs. When the light goes off, your clean phone is completely clean.

    This light is effective in destroying nucleic acids and breaking apart germ DNA. With their DNA broken, they can't function or reproduce and the organism dies. UV-C that causes this germicidal effect is rare on Earth as our atmosphere blocks it.

    This light is harmful for our eyes, hence why it must be done within PhoneSoap's controlled environment. You will never see the UV light that is killing all those germs, but an external blue indicator on PhoneSoap Charger will let you know when your device is being sanitized. With powerful UV-C light inside, PhoneSoap has a deadly effect on microorganisms such as pathogens, viruses, bacteria and others.

  • There are three UV light wavelength categories: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. The UV-C wavelength is the germicidal wavelength. UV-C utilizes short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (shorter than UV-B and UV-A which are NOT germicidal) that is harmful to microorganisms. Let's find out how!

    UV-C is a short-wavelength, ultraviolet light that breaks apart germ DNA. With broken DNA, the germs die because they can't function or reproduce. UV-C can even neutralize “superbugs” that have developed a resistance to antibiotics.

  • Sanitizing with UV-C light has been a normal practice since the mid-20th century (in fact, the 1903 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Niels Finsen for for using UV light to the fight against tuberculosis). Today, hospitals and labs use UV light to keep their facilities sterile.

    Your phone's warmth allows bacteria to stay alive and reproduce. UV-C light penetrates the cell and disrupts the DNA, killing the pathogen. Equally important, our UV-C light does not get hot, so while it is extremely effective at killing germs, it will not hurt your phone.

  • Yes, PhoneSoap is completely safe for your phone. PhoneSoap doesn't use water or chemicals – it uses UV-C light. UV light kills germs but doesn't harm you or your device. This light is completely safe for anything you place inside – except germs.

    Its UV light is completely safe for your gadgets. UV light can potentially cause damage with continuous, prolonged exposure to plastic. However, it would take many continuous hours of exposure to have this effect. When you close the top of PhoneSoap Charger, the UV lights will turn on for 10 minutes and automatically shut off when done. This is more than enough time to completely sanitize your phone and kill all the germs, but it is never enough time to damage your gadgets. You can feel confident your phone is safe inside, but the germs are not!

  • Yes, hospitals and healthcare locations all over the country use PhoneSoap to stop the spread of illness-causing germs carried by smartphones. The UV-C light technology inside PhoneSoap was first used to sterilize environments like hospitals. PhoneSoap is used in nursing stations, waiting rooms, and NICUs, and many other types of medical facilities. Learn more.

Product Questions

  • Yes! In fact we encourage you to keep your phone case on your phone while you use PhoneSoap. Our case is where we pass most of the germs from our hands. PhoneSoap was designed to fit your phone with the case on. If you have a thicker case with additional accessories like a pocket socket then please refer to the PhoneSoap 3 dimensions to make sure it will meet your needs.

  • The PhoneSoap 3 has the same beautiful design as the PhoneSoap 2 and still contains the same powerful UV-C germicidal lights that will sanitize your phone is 10 mins. However, there are three main differences to the PhoneSoap 3 including:

    1. Chord Management - PhoneSoap 3 has improved its chord management by creating a passage for the chord to pass out the side of the device instead of needing to be threaded through. This improves the user experience and allows you more easily attach your phone to the charging cable while using the PhoneSoap.

    2. Additional Charging Port - An additional port has been added to the back of the phone to transform the device into a charging hub. This allows you to charge multiple devices at the same time.

    3. An Included Microfiber Pad - The microfiber cloth surrounds a foam pad making it easy to clean your device screens and remove any unwanted smudges especially in those hard to get areas without damaging or scratching the surface.
