A:AnswerI use this Homedics UV-C bag to sanitize car keys, reading and sun glasses, watches, phones, nail clippers, pens, you name it. Anything that fits inside and I use, I sanitize it.
The effectiveness is identical between the gray and the black models (53398BBR and 53397BBR respectively). I read on Homedics website that a non-affiliated 3rd party confirmed these units eliminate 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses, etc. I know hospitals use the same technology to sanitize medical utensils. Also, please understand that the specs for the black model currently listed are for a completely different pop-up model (53399BBR). Both the gray and the black use 4 UV-C lights and are larger versus the “pop-up” phone sanitizer that uses 2. Also, it is a good idea to purchase/use true hepa filter purifiers for your home and or workspace as they will filter out airborne impurities down to .3 microns. That means 99.97% of viruses, germs, bacteria etc. will be cleaned out of the room’s air. I use these in conjunction with my Homedics UV-C portable sanitizer to maintain a healthy environment. Very important these days! I have purchased six of these UV-C sanitizing bags for myself and family with no problems.
A:AnswerI have read that UV-C disinfectant process on N95 masks has a small but important degradation of the masks filtering capablities due to it's effect on the polymers used. I am sure you could find more info online.
A:AnswerThere is a small USB charging tail tucked into the side of the basket. A charge cord is provided but it is USB only, no wall charger is included.
A:AnswerYes, the bag needs to be completely zipped and the “pull” of the zipper placed to the side where there is a magnetized spot that connects with the zipper pull (also magnetic) to make contact in order for the unit to work.
A:AnswerI read on HomeMedics website that a 3rd party validated that it kills 99.99% of germs, bacteria, and viruses. Hospitals use UV-C to sanitize, so I expect it will work.

A:AnswerI would like to know what substance it is that is banned. It has been a year since answered and talking about Amazon on Best Buy site. Did you look it up on Amazon and found that someone said a banned substance was on or in it? Hope you have same email address to know, that since the banned item is not listed, I had to thumbs down the answer and post this. Hope you will answer after all this time? TYVM
