The Germ Guardian® Mini Sanitizer Wand utilizes ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light, the same technology used in hospitals, to kill over 99% of viruses and bacteria on surfaces. UV-C light is an effective, natural way to kill germs without using chemicals.

Killing germs on items or surfaces can generally be achieved by holding the UV-C Sanitizer Wand over an object or surface for 20 seconds at a distance of approximately 1-2 inches.

The UV-C light on my UV-C Mini Sanitizer Wand won't turn on?
Press the 'on' button once and you should see a  blinking light. While the light is blinking you must press the 'on' button again to get the UV-C light to activate and stay on. The activation system was designed this way as a safety feature to prevent the light from coming on unnecessarily.

What is UV-C?
UV-C is part of the ultraviolet light spectrum that is filtered out by the earth’s atmosphere. The “C” stands for the particular frequency of UV light that kills germs.

Why is UV-C so effective at destroying germs?
UV-C light is highly effective at penetrating thin-walled germs like viruses and bacteria. The light alters the genetic structure of the germ and they die.

Is UV-C harmful?
Prolonged exposure (i.e. eight hours) to UV-C light can create eye irritations.

Why is UV-C used in hospitals to sanitize?
Hospitals use UV-C light technology to kill germs in the air and on surfaces. UV-C has been proven to kill germs that cause: influenza, strep throat, colds, staph infections and tuberculosis. UV-C has been proven to kill germs that are drug-resistant.

Is this new technology?
No. UV-C has been used to kill germs for almost 100 years. The first usage was in France in 1909 to disinfect their water system. This technology is still used today in hospitals, commercial buildings and custom homes to kill germs.
