The power to purify… in your pocket!
This winter has been especially tough for us cold-wise. And no, I don’t mean temperature. It’s no secret that colds and flu are becoming more and more common and harder to ward off! That’s why it’s so important to take extra measures to prevent sickness and exposure to harmful viruses by sanitizing our environment as much as possible. One way to do this is with ultraviolet light. I’m sure you’ve seen this method used at the dentist or hair salon. With the Pocket Purifier, you have the power to deactivate the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, destroying their ability to multiply, all in the palm of your hand!
You can use this device to sanitize door knobs, faucets, kitchen utensils, telephones, remote controls, nail clippers, scissors, small toys, pacifiers, cribs, strollers… just about any everyday item. Why do you need one? It’s simple – germs are everywhere! Just think about it… how often do you clean your telephone, compared to your toilet? Phones have more than 25,000 germs per square inch, and toilet seats a mere 49. Considering how often you use your phone throughout the day, that’s pretty shocking!
Using the Pocket Purifier is easy and completely safe. The specially designed UV-Lid helps avoid any harm of ultraviolet light to your eyes and skin. You must first install the 4 ‘AA’ batteries (not included). Then, to use the germicidal UV-C light for deactivating and killing germs, you just have to slide the switch on the Pocket Purifier to “Purifier” and aim the light towards the area you want to purify. You do this for 10 to 15 seconds, and that’s it!
For larger items, you can place the Pocket Purifier in a small enclosed area, like a box or a cabinet, with the objects to be purified and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes. The Pocket Purifier has a flip stand so that you can position it properly. Another handy feature is the Flashlight Mode, which is activated by an On/Off switch.
Because it’s battery-powered, the Pocket Purifier is totally portable! It’s about 6 inches long and weighs maybe 8 ounces with batteries, so you can just throw it in your purse or diaper bag. That’s why it’s great to have two – one for home and another for when you’re out and about. You can buy a 2-pack for $49.95, in your choice of pink or black, and shipping is free. That’s a savings of $26! Otherwise it costs $29.95. Check out Purely Products for more information.

What I learned is more than 200 different viruses are known to cause symptoms of the common cold. I have found this fact to be true. I need this because my 2 month old son was hospitalized have contracted 3 viruses at once. We originally thought that he had the common cold until he started having trouble breathing. Doctors say that now he will probably have breathing trouble every time he catches a cold.
It purifies baby toys and baby items, that would come in handy with my family!
This is more versatile than those anti-bacterial gels! No stickiness involved! I’d use this on just about everything when going out, especially shopping carts. And I learned that: “Influenza can strike entire populations who have inadequate immune protection, especially against a newly mutated virus.” This also leads me to think that we need to KILL these viruses and not give them any chances to mutate!
EWW. Studies by the Environmental Protection Agency and other researchers have found that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common in the indoor environment and that their levels may be ten to thousands of times higher indoors than found in the outdoor air.
What a clever idea and a fun giveaway!
Here is what I found out:
germs sprayed from a sneeze can survive in that area for 24 hours
I really need one of these becuase even though I sanitize my counter tops in the kitchen and bathroom I still dont know if they are germ free. This is a wonderful product because it works on exposed to surface areas or items needing purification, will attack the germs and bacteria killing their DNA, and preventing them from reproducing and growing.

This would help cut down on my son’s colds.
I love that I can use it on baby toys, pacifiers, sink handles, etc. I also learned that the germicidal ultraviolet light which deactivates the germs, won’t harm eyes.
Phones have more than 25,000 germs per square inch. this is a really cool contest. thanks for sponsoring
I learned 164 million school days are lost yearly to illness.
I learned that volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) are emitted by a wide range of indoor products, and the level of VOCs may be ten to thousands of times greater indoors than outdoors.

I carry sanitizer in my car. I’m always washing my childrens hands. At 2 and 4 they touch everything. This would be great to try, especially since I have a horrible cold right now.
Pocket Purifier™ has a built-in UV-C bulb that when turned on and exposed to surface areas or items needing purified, will attack the germs and bacteria killing their DNA, and preventing them from reproducing and growing is what i learned!

I learned that purifying, sanitizing and sterilizing our environment as much as possible helps to prevent sickness and exposure to harmful viruses. The Pocket Purifier would be great since my family is sick often!
Suitable for purifying masks, kitchen utensils, telephone sets, nail clippers, scissors, baby toys, pacifiers, cribs, strollers and most everyday items. And that’s why we need it!
I learned that phones have more than 25,000 germs per square inch (compared with a mere 49 per square inch on toilet seats). Not funny. I’m gonna stop yelling at my son about touching the toilet seat when he goes potty!
