A few years ago, I heard the scary statistic that your phone carries 18 times more bacteria than a public toilet — and it was frightening. I was tempted to start wiping mine down with a sanitizing wipe, but that can actually be damaging to your device. Then a friend recommended I try a UV light sanitizer for my phone. At the time, it seemed like a wild new concept, but I bought the Phonesoap Smartphone UV Sanitizer ($80, plus 20 percent off with code HOLIDAY 20), and now, it's something I use all the time.
Why is it so great? The game-changing device first gained attention on the ABC show Shark Tank, and the double-duty cleaner features a convenient USB port so you also charge while using it. The brand boasts that the UV light kills 99.9 percent of bacteria, which is also great for your skin and can help prevent pesky breakouts. It even goes beyond cleaning just your phone; anything that can fit can be cleaned, from your credit cards to a smartwatch.
This holiday season, I'm planning on getting it for a few people on my list, and thankfully, it's on sale for Cyber Monday. With the code HOLIDAY20, you can get 20 percent off, plus free shipping. This popular device is already selling fast, so hurry and grab one for yourself and your loved ones. Keep reading to shop all the models and color choices it comes in.
