How Dirty is My Phone?

Dirtier than you think. And germier than you care to realize.

It may look clean, but the average phone is actually 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 warm, dark places like your pocket or purse, the bacteria multiply.

Gross, right?

The bacteria on our devices thrive and can make us sick. In the age of COVID-19 when we all have a heightened of awareness of all kinds of germs, this fact can be quite daunting.

Disinfectant wipes are helpful in removing germs from your phone, but even better are sterilization and disinfectant devices. That’s why we’ve selected PhoneSoap as our March Brand of the Month.

PhoneSoap is the first and only phone charger that uses UV light to disinfect your phone, while also charging your phone.

How does it work?

This UV-C light effectively destroys nucleic acids and breaks apart bacteria DNA, killing 99.9% of household germs* in just ten minutes. With their DNA broken, bacteria can’t function or reproduce, and the organisms die.

In nature, the UV-C light that causes this germicidal effect is harmful to our eyes but is blocked by Earth’s atmosphere. In the PhoneSoap’s controlled environment, UV-C light effectively and safely sanitizes your cell phone, as well as anything else that fits inside your PhoneSoap like remotes, keys, tablets, and more.

Here are a few of our favorite items offered by PhoneSoap:
