Pocket Purifier Review & Giveaway

When we were kids we never gave any thought to things like germs, bacteria, E-coli or harmful things like that. We were kids! We just wanted to have fun. We certainly didn't concern ourselves about what disgusting things lie on the things we touched or played with.

As a parent that has all changed. I think I turned into a "germ-o-phobe" (for all you "Seinfeld" fans). I am always disinfecting and cleaning off things around my home that my kids touch. Door handles, faucets, toys, books, the phone, remote controls... you name it, I clean it. I have read too many articles and saw too many scary things on TV that show exactly what lives on the surfaces we touch daily. It makes you want to run around with rubber gloves on. GROSS!

As part of my New Year, New Me theme this month I am focusing on health, both mine and that of my family. That is why I was thrilled to find the Pocket Purifier by Purely Products. This handy little device has a special UV-C bulb that when turned on and exposed to surface areas or items needing purification, it will "attack" the germs and bacteria killing their DNA, and preventing them from reproducing and growing.

The Pocket Purifier takes 4 AA batteries (not included) and is great for purifying everyday things like telephones, toys, shopping cart handles, remotes, pacifiers... the list is endless! And since it's a special light you don't have to worry about harmful toxins in your home or effecting our environment. You can purify your child's pacifier and it's safe for them to use right away.

The Pocket Purifier is about 6" long (I don't have a ruler handy, I'm guessing it's length) and about 3" wide. It comes with a strap and a it even has a build in flashlight. This would fit perfectly in almost any purse, backpack, or even the glove compartment in your car.

Imagine how great the Pocket Purifier would be when you go shopping to use on those germ infected shopping cart handles. I know that grosses me out the most. I don't even want to know what grows on those.

Have you heard that women's purses and pocketbooks are a haven for a variety of very harmful and dangerous germs and bacteria? If you had a Pocket Purifier you could purify your purse daily to prevent those germs from getting in your home.

The Pocket Purifier is easy to use. You simple slide the switch to Purifier, hold it over the object you want to purify for about 10-15 seconds and you are done. It's that quick and easy. Perfect for the family on the go or for mom's who have little ones to chase after and who don't have time to stand around and wait.
