Your phone may or may not be dirtier than a toilet seat right now, but luckily you can fix that with an ultraviolet phone sanitizer. After all, our phones pick up a whole heap of bacteria, germs, and other nastiness when we set them down throughout our days. Ultraviolet phone sanitizers are nifty little devices, and while they can cost a pretty penny, they’re 110% worth the investment if they can keep you from getting sick, now more than ever.<\/p>\n
Best by a landslide<\/h3>\nPhoneSoap 3<\/h4>\n
Staff pick<\/p>\n
PhoneSoap is one of the originals and is still one of the most trusted ultraviolet phone sanitizers around. Reliability and excellent build quality are part of why all of PhoneSoap’s products were really hard to come by the first several months of the pandemic.<\/p>\n This sanitizer keeps a slim, travel-friendly profile by being collapsible, and the lid zips open and closed to help ensure that UV light doesn’t leak out and damage your eyes or your skin. You will have to run your phone through once on each side, though.<\/p>\n At first, I was confused about why you’d want an aromatherapy function on an ultraviolet phone sanitizer, but I’ll be the first to admit the smell of ozone that emanates from more funky sanitized items can be offputting. If it makes you nauseous, this cleaner can replace the ozone smell with essential oils.<\/p>\n The only downfall of HoMedics’s smaller UV-Clean rig is that it only sanitizes one side of your device at a time. This one props up your phone \u2014 or face mask or keys \u2014 so that it can clean both sides at once.<\/p>\n Available in three colors, this model might not have wireless charging like the Lecone, but it does have the aromatherapy for sensitive noses and it can help you save a few dollars while still letting you keep your phone clean.<\/p>\n If you tend to get phones with the largest screen you can afford, some phone sanitizers might not fit your oversized smartphone. PhoneSoap sells a larger Pro version to accommodate Note and other phablet-sized phones.<\/p>\n $120 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are a wide variety of ultraviolet phone cleaners out there: tent\/box models, tanning salon-like clamshells, and wands. We’re staying away from wands for three reasons:<\/p>\n Skip the wands and go enclosed! The best ultraviolet phone sanitizer is the PhoneSoap 3<\/a>, especially now that the company has finally recovered from the massive backorders placed at the start of the pandemic. If you need something more travel-friendly, I recommend grabbing the HoMedics UV-Clean Phone Sanitizer<\/a>, which works quicker than the PhoneSoap and is more readily available. Unfortunately, you’ll need to flip your phone to clean each side of it. Actually, it takes more than just flipping it once to get your phone completely clean.<\/p>\n These all might be ultraviolet phone sanitizers, but unless your sanitizer has a highly<\/strong> reflective interior like the PhoneSoap, you need to do more than stick your phone inside and walk away. Here’s how to ensure you completely and utterly eliminate the germs on your phone:<\/p>\n Your phone may or may not be dirtier than a toilet seat right now, but luckily you can fix that with an ultraviolet phone sanitizer.
