The Science of UV-C
Technology for a Safer — Healthier Life
UV-C light is a scientifically backed solution for eliminating germs, bacteria, and viruses on your phone and everyday items. Here’s how PhoneSoap harnesses this powerful technology to keep you and your loved ones protected.
What is UV-C Light?
UV-C light is a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light (200-280nm) that disrupts the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, preventing them from multiplying and rendering them harmless. PhoneSoap UV-C sanitizers emit the optimal wavelength for germicidal UV-C light at 254 nanometers for their bulbs and 265 for their LEDs.
UV-C Works and is Trusted by Professionals
UV-C light has been a trusted disinfection method for decades.
Hospitals, laboratories, and water treatment facilities have relied on UV-C disinfection for decades to eliminate dangerous pathogens. Now, with PhoneSoap, you can bring the same level of protection into your home.

How Does UV-C Compare to Other Cleaning Options?
When it comes to sanitizing your phone and everyday items, not all cleaning methods are created equal. While alcohol wipes and soap and water can remove some germs, they come with limitations that make them less effective and convenient than UV-C light.
