The Pocket Purifier


Reusable lunch boxes, backpacks, sports bags and equipment – once school begins these items receive heavy use and typically quickly develop nasty odors and pools of invisible bacteria and germs. Disinfecting these hard-to-clean items is easier than ever for parents with the introduction of the Pocket Purifier. The Pocket Purifier is a handheld device that uses the same UV light technology that surgeons use in operating rooms to clean their tools. Simply waving the Pocket Purifier across the surfaces of kid’s gear that you want to clean for a few seconds zaps any germs and bacteria leaving the surface clean and disinfected.
