Coronavirus has changed our lives in more ways than one. Disinfecting accessories one uses all the time such as wallets, smartphones, ear pods or watches has become a part of our daily life. However, sanitising car keys or earphones is not an easy job. Rising to the need of the hour, the Messy Corner, an e-commerce site has launched a portable ‘UV Care Sterilizer’ than can kill germs that live on the surface of your phones, earphones, watches, and other daily accessories and gadgets, according to the company.
The UV sterilizer is big enough to hold a phone of 6.5 inch screen size. One needs to plug in the device, open the lid and put the smartphone and other small accessories inside, close the lid and press the button to sanitise the products. The multi-functional sterilizer can kill 99.9% of germs in just 3 minutes, the company said in a statement. This product can also double up as a wireless charger, the Messy Corner added.
