Let’s be real, your phone has seen some grimy places. It’s probably been on public transit, placed on a restaurant counter or table, and taken to the bathroom with you more times than you can count. With our smartphones tethered to our hands wherever we go, they’re probably picking up just as many germs as we are, and when was the last time you actually sanitized your iPhone? 

Keeping your hands (and the devices you touch constantly) clean has been key to staying healthy over the last year, and a UV sanitizer like this one from Samsung can help you cut back on germs and bacteria that live on the surface of everyday carry items like your phone, AirPods, keys, and sunglasses. Just pop your device in for 10 minutes, and the UV-C light can kill up to 99% of germs and bacteria.

While UV sanitizers have been proven to zap away germs that cause the common cold and flu, the FDA reminds everyone that it’s unknown if UV sanitizers are effective at killing the Coronavirus. So before you go out and buy a UV sanitizer to zap away viruses, remember that according to the CDC, you’re most likely to contract Covid-19 through airborne respiratory droplets, not from surfaces like your phone. But even beyond the pandemic, a UV-C phone sanitizer can help prevent you from getting the common cold and stop you from spreading germs all over your home. And who doesn’t want a cleaner living space with less germs? 

This Samsung UV-C light sanitizer doubles as a Qi wireless charger, so you can keep your phone charged up and clean at all times. Just pop your phone (or keys or AirPods) into the box, close the lid, and in 10 minutes, they’ll be disinfected. The charger gets going as soon as you place your device in the box, but the UV-C light will only disinfect once the lid is securely closed, so you have full control over when the UV light is being used.

While some UV-C phone sanitizers can run anywhere form $80 to $100 (looking at you, PhoneSoap), you can grab the Samsung Electronics Qi Wireless Charger and UV Sanitizer for only $29.99 while this deal lasts.
