First child syndrome: sterilize everything! When precious is brought home let no stray germ find its way to your bundle o’joy.  But how do you make sure your favorite bundle of fun, your phone, doesn’t cause your new precious to contract some new strain of zombie ebola?

Step in Phone Soap. A compact charger cleaner to get those bathroom germs off your phone.  Yes, bathroom germs!  We know where you play Angry Birds…

Thanks to science we now know that our beloved companions are about the dirtiest, most disgusting, germ infested items we own. The Phone Soap device uses UV light to destroy the germs without endangering your electronic pet to the dangers of real soap.

To make sure this thing actually performed as advertised, we did a culture swab before first use and after.  Low and behold the pre-cleansed swab grew something out of swamp thing while the post Soap’d swab stayed relatively growth free.

They really should ship these things with swabbing kits.  We had to locate a friendly microbiologist willing to entertain new parent mania.

Just make sure that when you operate the Phone Soap you close the lid all the way otherwise the light that leaks out could potentially be harmful.
