Additional Info on UV-C Disinfection

Benefit 1 - Non-Toxic

 

Many cleaning products used today use harsh chemicals which can be harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. While UV-C light is harmful to be in direct contact with, it does not carry the dangers of chemical cleaners as UV-C light kills germs directly in a physical process as opposed to breaking them down chemically, like most cleaners do.


The non-toxicity of UV-C light cleaning is particularly valuable for use in food preparation environments, including the restaurant, hospitality, and medical industries. All food, non-food, and food-prep items are safe to consume/use directly after a UV-C light cleaning with no adverse effects.

Benefit 2 - Effectiveness

 

UV-C light is capable of killing a wide variety of harmful organisms that many other disinfecting methods aren’t able to kill or are unable to kill nearly as effectively.


A primary example of the cleansing power of UV-C light that is unmatched by most other cleaning methods is its ability to kill mold and other spores. UV-C light cleaning is a dry process that kills any mold currently inhabiting a space, while also preventing future mold from developing in the future. Few other methods can boast such cleaning power and may even leave behind a moist environment which is conducive to mold growth.

Benefit 3 - Pathogens cannot develop an immunity to UV-C light

As many other disinfection methods use chemicals to kill bacteria, this allows bacteria to potentially build immunity to said chemicals. As UV-C light uses a physical process to kill the bacteria directly, there is no opportunity for the bacteria to develop an immunity. This guarantees that UV-C light will continue to be an effective method for killing bacteria indefinitely. 

Benefit 4 - Affordability

 Although people often associate technological solutions with expensiveness, with UV-C light treatment that is not the case. The cost of UV-C light cleaning versus chemical cleaning is very comparable and affordability is no more of a concern than with other sanitation methods.

Q: How does UV-C kill pathogens?

 A: UV-C damages pathogens physically by disrupting the molecular bonds that holds them together. When a pathogen’s DNA is disrupted in such a fashion, it leaves it unable to infect or reproduce. 

Q: Is UV-C dangerous for humans to be in contact with?
