UVC Light and Second-Hand Items

Have you bought any items second-hand lately? With the popularity of this segment of the retail economy growing quickly it is a good idea to thoroughly disinfect used items. Vintage clothing, thrift stores, eBay, tag sales, Craig’s list or free items by the road all carry health risks. Even new items can carry harmful pathogens picked up in dressing rooms.

Washing clothing helps, but many items like handbags are loaded with bacteria and cannot be properly cleaned. Upholstered furniture is another popular second-hand item that is difficult to thoroughly sanitize. And it is vitally important that kids toys and stuffed animals are germ-free. Even used cars can benefit from a more thorough cleaning.

UVC light is the perfect solution to this problem. Not only does it disinfect without liquids or chemicals, it does not discolor surfaces or harm them in any way. There is no mess or waiting for things to dry. Bacteria, viruses, mold, fleas and dust mites are killed anywhere the light can reach.
