@amyintucson The UV light idea sounds intriguing. Could you please share more about the UV sanitizing wand you got - what range & intensity of UV light? What is the length of exposure required to kiil the virus? Has it been tested by an independent government, university or consumer lab for effectiveness and safety?
Thanks.
Sue

I had previously looked into UV light because of its use in curing gel nail polish plus I have a friend (a bit of a germaphobe) that used one in all hotel rooms. Knowing it had disinfecting properties I didn't do extra research but bought a wand that has a wavelength of 260-285nm and disinfection time of 10 seconds. I'm cautious, as we all are, but there is a balance in everything so I just bought one. Hope this helps everyone.

Stay safe.
