Introduction continued
UV-C light sanitizes microorganisms and biological pollutants, including
viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, dust mite and fl ea eggs by penetrating their cell
membranes and attacking and deactivating their cellular DNA, stopping their
reproductive capabilities and killing them.
The scientifi c community has long known that UV-C light acts as a natural
sterilization system. Hospitals, food processing facilities, scientifi c laboratories,
water treatment plants and air-handling systems use UV-C light to eliminate up
to 99.9% of contaminants and germs.
The Verilux® CleanWave® Wand and Travel Wand provide that same UV-C
ultraviolet technology for use in your home and on the road.
The “Ultraviolet” article at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet)
offers a wealth of additional information and a comprehensive list of “See Also”
links and References.
Benefi ts of Using UV-C Light
• No Chemicals. Your home may contain more deadly chemicals than
laboratories did 50 years ago. With Verilux’s CleanWave Technology, you
can sanitize surfaces effectively and safely without chemicals and chemical
residues. The CleanWave eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria, viruses,
germs, fungus, allergens* and mold with no chemical residue.
• Sanitizing with UV-C light means you don’t need harsh chemicals that
pollute our water and add unnecessary product packaging to our landfi lls.
Reduced production of household cleansers means fewer chemicals in our
environment and reduced fuel expenditures for transporting them to the
marketplace.
• Odor elimination. Bedding and couches will smell and feel fresh with
consistent use of the Sanitizing Wand. Because CleanWave eliminates
biological material that causes odors, musty smells and pet odors are
virtually eliminated.
*Allergens due to mold and dust mites
