The VioClean UV Toothbrush Steriliser eliminates unwanted and harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses that reside on your toothbrush. Using a patented UV and Ozone Sterilising lamp, 99% of these germs are eradicated from your toothbrush in approximately 6 minutes.
The UV lamp provides a dual mechanism for sterilisation. UV-C, also known as germicidal UV, is most effective at wavelengths of 250-260 nanometers. Sufficient doses within this wavelength range function to create chemical and biological reactions within micro-organisms, which disturb their ability to function and reproduce, thus killing them.
A Second wavelength frequency range of 180-200 nanometers generates Ozone (O3) which is a naturally occurring molecule which is the second most powerful sterilant in the world. At this wavelength range, natural Oxygen (02) is activated and links up with a free Oxygen atom (O) thus forming Ozone.
Ozone acts by rupturing the cell walls and attacking the nucleus of micro-organisms which kills them. UV-C and Ozone are a formidable force in sterilising your Toothbrush!
