An apparatus for treating air includes a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet, the housing enclosing an air treatment zone and an ozone removal zone, wherein the ozone removal zone is positioned downstream of the air treatment zone with respect to a flow direction of the air being treated, an ultraviolet (UV) light source in the air treatment zone configured to generate ozone from the air, wherein the UV light from the UV light source and the ozone generated by the UV light source treat the air in the air treatment zone, catalyst in the ozone removal zone that removes at least a portion of the ozone generated by the UV light source, and an air mover positioned near the air outlet configured to draw the air through the air inlet into the air treatment zone from outside the housing.

This disclosure provides generally for antimicrobial compositions and methods of use comprising an anthocyanin, an anthocyanidin or metabolites thereof. Methods for promoting healing of a wound using these compositions are also disclosed. These compositions have broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and are safe for human and animal uses. Further, these compositions are safe for medical uses and industrial uses as antiseptic preparations to reduce or prevent microbial growth, including killing bacterial biofilms.

An apparatus includes a containment vessel having an interior space configured to be sealed. The interior space is configured to receive (i) liquid to be vaporized during a decontamination process and (ii) one or more pieces of personal protection equipment to be heated and decontaminated during the decontamination process. The apparatus also includes one or more flameless heaters configured to generate heat without a flame when activated. The apparatus further includes a thermal pouch configured to enclose the containment vessel and the one or more flameless heaters such that the heat from the one or more flameless heaters heats the containment vessel during the decontamination process.

The disclosure relates to a device for treating stains, which can be carried by a person, comprising a reservoir for receiving a chemical formulation, where the reservoir has an outlet port for dispensing the chemical formulation and where the device comprises a UV radiation source which emits its radiation in a direction essentially away from the device. The invention further relates to a method for treating spots using such a device.

Various implementations include an extended repeated-use table cover device. The device includes a roller, a non-silicone mat, a disinfecting enclosure, a table mount, and a winding mechanism. An outer surface of the roller is coupled to a first mat end such that rotation of the roller about a roller axis causes the mat to wind around the outer surface of the roller. An outer surface of the disinfecting enclosure defines an opening extending from the outer surface to a cavity defined by an inner surface of the disinfecting enclosure. The roller is disposed within the cavity, and the mat is extendable through the opening. The winding mechanism is for rotating the roller from an extended position to a retracted position. The mat is durable enough to be used for at least three months under expected standard use without needing to be replaced.

The present application relates to a garment care device (1) comprising a housing (2) and a chamber (5) within the housing (2) to receive at least one garment. The chamber (5) comprises an air inlet (17) and an air outlet (18). An air channel (15) links the air inlet (17) and the air outlet (18). The garment care device (1) further comprises a fan (19) for circulating an air flow between the chamber (5), the air outlet (18), the air channel (15) and the air inlet (17), and a heater (14) for heating the air flow. The air inlet (17) is configured such that air entering the chamber (5) flows along a first direction (A1, A2). The air outlet (18) is configured to draw the air in the chamber (5) along a second direction (B) transverse to the first direction (A1, A2).The garment care device further comprises a second fan (32) and an extraction channel (31) linking the chamber (5) with the second fan (32). The second fan (32) is configured to selectively draw an air flow out of the chamber (5) and into the extraction channel (31). The garment care device (1) allows improving the drying and sanitizing of garments.

The invention relates to a device for cleaning and disinfecting at least one object such as clothing and/or protective masks and/or personal protective equipment, in particular for the medical or laboratory sector, the device having a chamber surrounded by a housing, in which chamber at least one main body for receiving the object is arranged, characterised in that the main body has a cavity and, on its outer circumference, one or more through-flow openings leading to the cavity, wherein at least one UV radiation source emitting UV light and producing ozone is arranged in the region of at least one through-flow opening, and in that at least one air supply leads into the cavity of the main body, wherein the air can be conducted through the through-flow opening past the UV radiation source into the object. The invention further relates to a method in this respect.

The present invention relates to a shoe washing and sterilizing dryer for automatically washing, drying and sterilizing shoes such as sneakers, and so on, and more particularly, to a shoe washing and sterilizing dryer that is capable of allowing injection nozzles to spray a washing liquid to the form of fine particles into the surfaces of shoes and then allowing brushes to be rotatably moved up and down to perfectly wash the surfaces of the shoes, and also capable of allowing hot air generated from a heater to blow into the shoes and simultaneously allowing ultraviolet light to be irradiated onto the interiors of the shoes from UV lamps to perform both of drying and sterilizing processes for the shoes, thereby enhancing wearing comfort of the shoes and protecting a wearer from athlete's foot or various diseases.

A system includes a mask having a filter. The filter is configured to capture aerosol particles. The filter may be formed from a material that is UVC durable and UVC transmissive. The system also includes a UVC LED configured to emit UVC radiation into the filter.

A filtering facepiece respirator decontamination device includes an enclosure defining a UV irradiation chamber, at least one UV lamp positioned in the irradiation chamber, a moveable drawer comprising a platform for positioning a respirator, wherein the moveable drawer can move to a closed position in the respirator positioned on the platform is located in the irradiation chamber, a switch for detecting that the drawer is in the closed position, and a controller for activating the at least one UV lamp based on the switch detecting that the drawer is in the closed position
