Phone Sanitizer and Charger


Your phone is filthy. We know you bring it into the bathroom with you. And you eat with it. And let your greasy fingered toddlers use it. It’s gross. But you can do something about it (something way more effective than the pants leg wipe you’re doing now). Sanitize it! With this PhoneSoap 3 UV Sanitizer and Charger you can kill all the bacteria and germs, while charging at the same time. Bonus.

The PhoneSoap 3 uses a pair of UV-C light bulbs to sanitize your phone. Just place your phone inside, then hook up your charging cord to either the USB or USB-C port on the back and you’re charging and cleaning all at once. You have to figure, if you’re going to charge your phone somewhere daily, you might as well add in some sanitizing at the same time. Flu season is coming after all. Thanks for the heads up Mom.

Anyway, the PhoneSoap 3 comes in your choice of over a dozen colors and is big enough to fit most phones, even bigger ones like the Galaxy S10+. Plus it’s not just for smartphones- you can sanitize ANYTHING you can fit inside the case- watches, keys, earbuds, jewelry, pacifiers, coins, etc. Just don’t try to charge up your keys.
