Bacteria-Banishing Purifiers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Wall Outlet Air Sanitizer and Deodorizer Kills Odor and Viruses

— March 31, 2016 — Lifestyle
There are many air purifiers on the market, but few can operate like this wall outlet air sanitizer and deodorizer that's designed to kill germs rather than simply catch them.

Consumers are spending more and more time indoors, which is subsequently translating to more money being spent to enhance their interior spaces. This product works with a fan that draws in air to the unit and cycling it past a UV-C bulb that purifies it. The bulb will stop viruses and mold spores from replicating and can eliminate up to 98% of airborne bacteria such as E. coli.

The wall outlet air sanitizer and deodorizer requires no maintenance or filter changing and can help to purify spaces up to 180-square-feet in size.
