How it Works — Verilux Cleanwave UV-C Sanitizing Light Wand
CleanWave™ Sanitizing Technology - When bacteria, viruses, mold, dust mites, and other allergens are exposed to the Cleanwave UV-C light, the DNA in each cell is disrupted, causing the internal structure of the dangerous cells to collapse and they are unable to reproduce. Almost instantly, these disease-causing organisms are rendered harmless.
Effective exposure times to UVC light varies depending on surface to be sanitized. The rule of thumb is to allow the light to remain on a surface for 10 seconds at 1"-3" elevation to destroy most organisms. Recommended exposure times for common uses are as follows:
Bedding/Mattresses: hold wand approximately 2 inches from surface and gradually move the wand over the entire surface. Allow the light to stay on each area for 5-15 seconds to ensure optimum exposure.
Personal hygiene items (brushes, toothbrushes, earrings, razors): Place items on counter and expose them to the light for 10 seconds at 2 inches from the surface of each item.
Kitchen utensils: Place on counter (away from water) and expose to the light for 10 seconds at 3 inches away from surface of each item.
Counters and bathroom fixtures: Hold wand 2-4 inches above the surface and expose surface to the light for 10-20 seconds.
Shoes: Expose insides of shoes to light for 5 minutes each week to eliminate athlete's foot fungus.
Fruits and Vegetables: Expose them to light for only 10 seconds while holding Sanitizing Wand 6-10 inches away. Do not overexpose as this may cause a change in the flavor of the fruits or vegetables.
Since the UVC light disrupts DNA in cells, it should never be used on pets, plants or food products (unless as directed). It should also never be allowed to shine on human exposed skin or directly into your eyes. These products are equipped with protective systems to turn the UVC light off when the device it turned upward towards the eyes.

Summary:
The use of UV-C light for sanitization is not a new concept, however it is new for household use and offers a simple, effective, and convenient way to free surfaces throughout your home from harmful germs, bacteria, and allergens. The Verilux Sanitization wand with its new and improved design is lightweight, easy to use and best of all, safe! We were so excited to find a UV-C light wand equipped with a Safety Shut-off function. Too many light wands on the market have been manufactured without this simple protective feature. UV-C light is effective at destroying germs, bacteria, and allergens by disrupting the DNA in their cells, rendering them harmless. This also means direct exposure to the UV-C light is dangerous to our eyes and skin. The Safety Shut-off feature helps protects against unwanted exposure to the light due to improper use or misuse by shutting the light off if the wand it turned light side up. Overall the use of the Verilux Cleanwave UV-C sanitizing light wand is a safer option for you, your family, and the environment, than the use of chemical solutions for the sanitization of household surfaces. We also were pleased that this wand is rechargeable and does not require batteries. The included base charger stand is a nice addition with a space saving design it safely stores and charges the wand.
The new and improved, rechargeable light wand from Verilux uses advanced Cleanwave UV-C technology to kill dust mites, viruses, bacteria, and 99.9% of household germs. Safety Shut-off feature to help avoid harmful expose to eyes. Includes wand charger stand.
