Key writing
- Manufacturers are dealing with UV-C Light accessories for home use for killing fungi, bacteria and pests.
- Health facilities and airlines used UV-C light for many years to help control viruses and bacteria.
- UV-C Light differs from UV rays that cause sunburn because too weak to penetrate the atmosphere.
Scientists and homeowners knew about centuries that the sun’s rays were powerful. Ultraviolet light can bleach yellow-brown fabrics, kill molds and other fungal spores on domestic sports and faded food stains on plastic containers. UV-C Light is especially used to quickly disinfect surfaces on the plane, treat air in HVAC systems and clean public restrooms.
As technology advanced, manufacturers have created portable sticks and attached devices that use UV-C light to repair household items such as phones, shoes and toothbrushes. See which UV light can help you control your own home, including mold, dust mites and bed mistakes.
Warning
- Always wear safety glasses and protective clothing and protective shoes and shoes when using UV-C surface cleaning lights.
- The UV-C lamp works quite slowly and clean only areas that are indirect air contact. Wear protective equipment as you reposition the lights in larger areas.
- UV-C beams emitted by bulbs in home santilizers over time will lose the potency, and become less efficient. Read the manufacturer’s data and pay attention to the date “Replace the bulb”.
Mold and mold
Ultraviolet lamps can destroy indoors and mold spores that grow on damp surfaces. UV-C lights kill a fungus by interfering with the molecular structure of the spore cells. Factors such as recommended distance, exposure and intensity time are crucial in achieving optimal results.
On average, it can take about 90 minutes to kill mold effectively using UV-C lights. To be effective, you must physically remove as many molds as possible before applying UV light. UV light is best used prevent mold and mold from re-appearing.

Impurities of water
UV-C technology can be used to treat and purify water using LED lights and carbon filters that remove contaminants, microplastics and bacteria.
Bacteria on small electronics
Our phones, laptops and remote controls are crashing dozens of times a day and each touch leaves contaminating on surfaces. The UV-C lamp works well to kill pathogens leaving electronics safer to use.
Fungus foot in shoes
Since shoes are dark inside and snap moisture from our feet, they are the perfect grown reasons for athlete of the night fungus. Since many shoes can’t be thrown in the washing machine, the UV-C stick can be placed inside to kill the fungus.
Bacteria on beauty and personal care tools
A small UV-C bag or case is perfect for reinforcing jewelry, manicure tools, tweezers and toothbrushes to kill potentially harmful bacteria.
Bugs
Studies promise to use UV-C lights together with cleaning and pesticides help control bed errors. The light disturbs the DNA structure of binding in bed, eventually causes death. The use of UV-C light is especially effective against bed bugs eggswhich are often difficult to remove with traditional pesticides.
Mites for dust
Dust mites hide in mattresses and pillows, feeding dead cells for human skin and cause allergic reactions in many people. Scientists explored the effect of UV-C light on adult grits for dust and their eggs and found good results in eliminating these pests.
Flying insects
Both drums and newer closed in closed flying sticky traps use blue light and UV or UV-B to lure insects that attract light.
