The first set of UV lights comprising a first plurality of UV lights. The control interface can be placed at the front panel of said housing, said control interface comprising one or more inputs capable of operating said UV dryer. The device processor can receive input data through said one or more inputs and implement a set of instructions from said input data, wherein one of said set of instructions include disinfecting the daily used items using said first set of ultraviolet (UV) lights.

A UV shielding device including a sanitizing interface having a top surface arranged to support device positioned above the sanitizing interface where the sanitizing interface includes a translucent material arranged to allow UV light to pass through. The device also includes at least one shape sensor arranged to detect a shape of a surface of the device facing the sanitizing interface. The device further includes an adjustable UV emission interface that is positioned adjacent to the sanitizing interface and arranged to adjustably conform to the shape of the surface of the device facing the sanitizing interface, while also being arranged to emit the UV light toward sanitizing interface and device.

The invention discloses a method to impart a substrate fabric with antiviral or antibacterial properties consisting in implanting copper and/or silver nanoparticles into natural and synthetic fabrics. A plurality of products manufactured utilizing the fabrics processed according to the disclosed methods for use where antiviral and antibacterial properties are required, such as hospital and other aseptic places.

A sanitizing face mask and sanitizing device for use with a face mask. The sanitizing face mask incorporates a sanitizing component and a face mask. The sanitizing component comprises an ultraviolet (UV) generating element configured to emit a sanitizing light. The sanitizing light generates UV light capable of sanitizing air inhaled or exhaled through the face mask. The sanitizing component may be positioned within a pocket in the face mask or attached to the face mask externally. A sanitizing component protective component may encapsulate the sanitizing component to protect a user from radiation from the UV light. The pocket may also comprise a protective liner to protect the user from the radiation.

Provided are a headgear stand and a headgear cleaner that is small-sized and has low power consumption, and that is capable of sterilizing and deodorizing headgear made of any material. A headgear cleaner 1-1 is provided with an ozone generator 2 and a voltage supply part 5. The ozone generator 2 is constituted from an ozone generator body 3-1 and a connecting part 4. The ozone generator body 3-1 forms a shape in which twelve leaf parts extend radially. The voltage supply part 5 supplies a voltage necessary for generating ozone to the ozone generator 2.

A fabric freshening product that includes (a) freshening aqueous liquid composition including a bispyridinium alkane antimicrobial active and a perfume, and (b) a spray device to produce a spray of the composition.

An Air-Water-Food-Fabric-Space-Utility sanitizer (all in one) comprises a detachable blower chamber, a detachable UVC lamp holder, a detachable UVC lamp chamber, a detachable water chamber and a detachable lid. Said invention transforms to an air purifier, a chamber-style sanitizer, or a stand-style sanitizer when one or more chambers are detached. Germicidal lamps surround a target such as air, water, food (meats, plants), fabric (masks, towels), space, utility and soil to kill pests, parasites, insects and pathogenic spores. Said invention also develops seed germination. Water converts gas (MVOC) to liquid and arrests airborne contaminants. A blower drives them to water to enable the use of optimal dosage of UVC light. By either UVC-irradiating water or oxidizing water, pathogens are destroyed in the water chamber. Filters activate spore dispersal when disposed by burning. By not using potentially hazardous waste or an air outlet, pathogenic spores cannot reproduce or return to the environment.

A sterilization apparatus for a vehicle, includes a lift unit mounted in the vehicle to be selectively lifted and protruded; a sterilization unit connected to the lift unit, including an ultra violet light emitting diode (UV LED), and sterilizing a vehicle interior when necessary; and a control unit connected to the lift unit and the sterilization unit for controlling lifting of the lift unit when preset operation conditions are satisfied.

A system and a method include a wand assembly including a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp configured to emit UV light to sanitize a surface of a component. The wand assembly further includes a first monitored member. The system also includes a second monitored member. A verification control unit is in communication with the first monitored member and the second monitored member. The verification control unit is configured to detect a speed of the wand assembly based on a comparison of the first monitored member in relation to the second monitored member.

This disclosure is directed to methods of using compositions comprising protocatechuic acid (PCA) to kill virus including a Covid-19 virus. The compositions generally comprise protocatechuic acid, a liquid vehicle, and a stabilizer. In embodiments, the liquid vehicle comprises an alcohol and/or water. In preferred embodiments, the oil is an essential oil. In embodiments, the compositions may comprise principally protocatechuic acid, liquid vehicle, and stabilizer as the main ingredients. The compositions may be sprayed onto various products and articles of manufacture, and mammalian and human skin, to kill virus including a Covid-19 virus and to further protect the product or human skin for a period of time up to 24 hours or more. In preferred embodiments, an alcohol component kills virus on contact, and after drying, the residual surface PCA coating provides a continuing anti-viral function.
