viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, dust mite and flea eggs by penetrating their
cell membranes and attacking and deactivating their cellular DNA, stopping
their reproductive capabilities and killing them.
The scientific community has long known that UV-C light acts as a
natural sanitization system. Hospitals, food processing facilities, scientific
laboratories, water treatment plants and air handling systems use UV-C light
to eliminate contaminants and germs.

†Kills up to 99.9% of germs, viruses and other micro-organisms on solid, non-porous surfaces.
Sanitizing times and effectiveness for porous surfaces may vary.
‡Based on exposure of UV-C light to test organisms in laboratory on non-porous hard surface,
under controlled conditions. MRSA refers to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
(ATCC 33592). H1N1 refers to A/Swine/Iowa Swine Influenza A (ATCC 333).
*Direct UV-C Light exposure is effective on certain allergen producing organisms such as Mold
A and in reducing dust mites.
