Desktops have almost 21,000 germs per square inch, phones more than 25,000 per square inch (compared to only 49 per square inch on toilet seats).
When i first read that, I washed my hands. As I get older people have pointed out to me I am becoming more compulsive and a germaphobe. When I'm at school i constantly wait until someone else opens the door because I just don't want to touch the doorknob. There are many other things I do to avoid touching germ-infested objects. I now carry a bottle of sanitizer in my bag at all times for those moments things don't go my way.
I had read quite a bit about Purely Products and was super exited when offered a chance to review some of their products. Purely Products carries products to help promote a cleaner and healthier lifestyle. Purely Products also donates a significant percentage of all sales to the non-profit www.diaperlove.org to help children in need.
I received the Pocket Purifier in a cute pink. While not my favorite color, it sure has grown on me. Its amazing to think that the 4-watt UV light in this purifier eliminates 99.9% of germs that cause colds and flu, plue e-coli, salmonella, mold, fungus and MRSA (staph). It is very lightweight and small, fits in my bag when I'm on the go ans has a handy strap. The purifier also has a flashlight setting which is great to have on your nightstand.
"Lightweight and convenient, Pocket Purifier sanitizes surfaces and objects with the same UV-C light that sterilizes surgical instruments. Ultraviolet light and nanotechnology eliminate 99.9% of germs that cause colds and flu, plus e-coli, salmonella, mold, fungus and MRSA (staph). At home, at work, in public, for all high-touch surfaces, Pocket Purifier is the most environmentally responsible way to kill germs without chemicals - hands-down."
It takes a mere 10-15 seconds of exposure to kill germs. I went crazy disinfecting everything I owned when I first got it. About a week ago I was at school and pulled it out to disinfect the book i was reading while I read it! I constantly use it on doorknobs in my house, on my bed and pillow, my keyboard, my webcam and especially on both my cellphones and MP3. My XBOX 360 controllers seem to get it everyday, as I have friends who come play often and they refuse to wear gloves like I told them to! lol.
I also received the Pet CFL bulb. I have 3 dogs, 1 of which stays inside permanently. The Pet CFL bulb is a energy efficient compact florescent lightbulb that removes pet dander, cigarette smoke, pollen, odors, fumes, dust and airborne contaminants with built in ionizers. The light from the bulb is brighter than the one we already had, so that was no problem.
We tested it out downstairs by the patio door first. Reason being is because my father is a smoker and everyone is the house detests the smell! We noticed it seemed to rid the dining room of the smell he leaves lingering after coming back inside the house. As for the smell of dog in my sister bedroom, where the dog sleeps, is virtually gone.
I am very impressed with these products. The pocket purifier, is by far, something that has made my life as a germaphobe better :) Thanks to Purely Products for the opportunity to review these great products! I have already recommended them to some co-workers :) They have been gracious enough to provide a lucky reader of mine the same products!
