PhoneSoap - Product Recommendation for Germophobes!

 

Not only am I a bit of a germophobe but, having been a surgical nurse, I am well aware of the precautions that we should take to prevent the passing of bacteria to others. Well, my ears perked up while listening to an episode of Shark Tank, featuring a new bacteria-zapping product. Yes, I ‘listen’ to the TV while I multi-task!

 

PhoneSoap is a phone sanitizer and charger in one. The cool thing about it is that you lay your phone in the case when you go to bed, you wake up with a clean, full-charged phone! The newest version of PhoneSoap fits all phones, including the larger phones such as the iPhone X. It also has two charging ports on the back of the case, a USB and USB-C.

 

PhoneSoap 

 

I’ve had conversations with friends about the PhoneSoap. The funniest response I got was, “I’m the only one who touches my phone! 

 

Well…what about the grocery cart you touched today? The door handle at the attorney’s office, the elevator button, the printer at the office?…the list goes on and on. And, how many hands do we shake each day? Then, we grab our phones and the bacteria is transferred to our phones. Did you know that our phones are 18 TIMES DIRTIER THAN A PUBLIC TOILET?! 

 

These cool devices clean, use a UV transparent plate and UVC light, zap 99.99% of all bacteria on your phone (in about 10 minutes). Another cool thing about this device is that you can zap your credit cards without affecting the magnetic stripe.

*Think about that one - we readily hand our credit cards to how many people each week? Do you know where all of the hands that touch your cards have been? 

 

From our phones, to credit cards to keys and headsets, this device will clean and sanitize anything that fits in the case! 

 

See what you think but, I have purchased several this year to give as gifts. I think in our profession, they’re a useful (and healthy) tool to add to our arsenal of gadgets!

 

*No, I am not being paid to advertise this product! I just feel strongly that our phones, no matter how often we wipe them with a disinfectant, are still nasty! I just wanted to share this cool tool as a great holiday gift - for yourself and others!

The credit cards is what gets me too, Sheila! I'm OVERLY observant of people when they exit the bathroom - I'm shocked at the number of people who don't wash their hands. Everyone seems to be in such a rush these days! 

Anyway, then they handle OUR credit cards...it's just disgusting to me, Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400

You're so welcome, Sham Reddy! It's a great gadget - 2-in-1!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

And, the more I observe people, the fewer I see washing their hands after going to the restroom. As I mentioned before, people are ALWAYS in a rush these days...then they touch us or our credit cards and the contimination snowball begins!

I did too and I figured since it was always in need of a charge at night, why not give this a whirl - it's peace of mind, at least!

You'll have to, George Souto - it made it several people's Christmas boxes this year for me! LOL

Okay, so Ray is ALWAYS in control of the TV - in fact, I'm embarrassed to say that I barely know how to operate the remote! He records a few shows that he and I like to watch together - Shark Tank is one, Endre Barath, Jr.

I just looked up PhoneSoap on the Amazon link that I used to order the ones I bought -

  • "NOW FITS AND CHARGES ANY PHONE. PhoneSoap 2.0 now fits larger phones and phablets like the iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S 7, Note 4, LG G3, and all phones under 6.8”L x 3.74”W x .78”H"

Hi James Dray - I think that is a WONDERFUL idea! I'm expecting a lot of excited faces on Christmas - that was our most-purchased gift! LOL

I totally agree, Roy Kelley! As many door knobs as we touch?

You're so right, Margaret Rome, Baltimore Maryland - I'm always appalled at where I see ladies put their handbags! I'm a shoulder-bag gal myself - for that very reason!

And, yes, it's so funny how our roots spill over into our second careers, isn't is? It's always a good thing for our clients, that's for sure!

I grew up in that era too - a little dirt never hurt anybody! But, with Ray's constant issues with infections, I am keenly aware of how seldom others wash their hands - and then touch others (and their credit cards)!  It's scary - especially when you're standing at the sink in a public restroom and you watch 3 of 4 people leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all, Jon Zolsky, Daytona Beach, FL. It's shocking to me!

No and they'll do in a pinch but, when you have to charge your phone each night anyway, you may as well decontaminate it, right Sally K. & David L. Hanson?!

LOL I'm just now seeing a few of these comments and had to laugh at your baseball season comment - boy, you really had one amazing season in 2018, didn't you?!

Debra Leisek, I'm so surprised at the number of people who don't realize how contaminated WE make them! A simple, daily wipe-down just doesn't do the trick!

Your friends will love you for it if you gift these, Debra!
