How many bacterial colonies are on your toothbrush today?
8, 10?
How about 8 or 10 million?
Yes, Violight reports Independent Laboratories have determined that average everyday, healthy people are brushing their teeth with millions of bacteria. Think you haven’t been affected by this? Ever wonder why colds and flu viruses spread rapidly through your family? These bacteria can survive for days on toothbrushes!
What better home for bacteria than our bathrooms? Warm and moist environments are perfect for bacteria to thrive.
Another thought that will make you gag? Ever stood next to a toilet and felt the water droplets splash up as it flushed? Yep – flushing propels germs from the toilet into the air. You walk from the toilet to the sink. Air flow from your movement and ventilation in general carries those toilet germs through the air. What goes up, must come down. Many people store toothbrushes out on the counter. As these invisible germs land on your toothbrush, they find another moist environment combined with the humidity of bathrooms – Wa – lah! Now you pick up your brush and… yes, put toilet germs in your mouth. Yes, really – fecal material in your mouth.
Moving the toothbrush to the medicine cabinet? Toothbrushes stored in the medicine cabinet are helping bacteria thrive even more – they love to multiply in the dark!
Stop gagging – thanks to products from Violight, we are now able to daily sanitize our toothbrush – effectively killing up to 99% of the bacteria. Two independent studies were done to determine the effectiveness of the Violight.
Want to know more?
Place your toothbrush (yes, even the family varieties of toothbrushes: kids’ and electric heads) head down into the Violight Countertop Toothbrush Sanitizer. Push the button and the blue light glows – sanitation only takes minutes. When it’s done, the light turns off and your toothbrush is cleanly stored until you are ready to use it.
So how does this kill bacteria?
Germicidal Ultraviolet Light
What does this mean? The dictionary definition:
germicidal: preventing infection by inhibiting the growth or action of microorganisms.
ultraviolet: the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths shorter than light but longer than X-rays
This ultraviolet germicidal light physically destroys the DNA of microorganisms. Violight has designed an award-winning product that will sanitize the family’s toothbrushes all at once!
Kill those germs before they spread. This UV light will last over 2000 hours and only needs replacing once every one or two years depending on use.
It is still recommended to replace toothbrushes every 3-4 months. And yes, disgusting fact is that most Americans only change them twice per year!
Cold and flu viruses can wreak havoc on a family. How about a family set to travel?
There is nothing worse than traveling with a sick family! Prevent what illness you can by using the Violight Sanitizers at home – and then pack the toothbrush in the Violight DUO Toothbrush Sanitizer.
Have you ever used a toothbrush cover, put it in your luggage (nice, dark, moist environment) and forgotten about it? I tend to have multiple toothbrushes so when I found one of mine neglected in an old suitcase, wow – that was gross. It stunk! Good Ole bacteria smell.
This DUO is the first portable toothbrush sanitizer built for two. You can easily use this same product at home by mounting the Duo to the wall with the included wall-mount bracket.
Once again – easy to use. Insert toothbrush, close lid, light comes on and sanitizes.
There are not many products that could be bought for ANYONE (as long as they brush their teeth) – but the Violight is one that absolutely EVERY person – traveler or not, could benefit from! Check out their line of products – there is something to fit every situation. http://www.violight.com/shop.html
