Put It To The Test: Phone Soap

[@julieathome7793]

I have the homesoap at home. It’s a bigger version of the phonesoap. When I come home from work, I wash my hands, put my phone and eyeglasses in the homesoap, close the door with the hand that did not touch my phone an glasses, then wash my hands again. After 15 minutes I grab my phone and eyeglasses :)

[@Commander_HW]

Correct step to avoid cross contamination will be: Come home, close the door, put your glasses, phone in the home soap, THEN go wash your hands, now your hands are clean, THEN go grab the sanitized glasses and phone.

H W what i do is come home, rub my hands and key at same time with sanytizing gel, than open door, take clothes off and put them apart, than sanitize again, go wash, than put phone in uv cleaner, than go wash hands again. And voila, that’s it

5 minutes is probably why it didn't kill everything. Most of the high end UVC units start at 10 minutes.

[@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell]

MIne runs at a 10 minute cycle

[@ricoviii1]

Yup 10 minutes is the minimum

[@jamesangeli2362]

I bought this and it didn't come with actual soap. Really disappointed. I use it as a flashlight but it burns after a while.

Fleshlight?

@Monte Gavin III God no.

[@TheHmurveit]

I know this might be far fetching but when she swabbed the first time could she have taken away a lot of the bacteria with the first swapping

[@tetsaiga376]

TheHmurveit I was thinking that.

[@bellawitz85]

Saline is just water with a tiny amount of salt in it, it wouldn't have reduced the germ population much, if at all. :)

[@AmazingAutist]

Plus, she can just swab a different place

[@liameneuk]

@@bellawitz85 Not really. The amount of saline she used might not be enough in amount and concentration to kill some germs but the swapping itself can pick up the germs so that lesser germs were left.

[@Teeveepicksures]

not far fetched, youre spot on

[@ajl577]

So what if you ran it twice???🤔

[@IDABAYAREA650I]

ajl577 *Double kill lol*

[@ajl577]

@@IDABAYAREA650I my thoughts exactly! But why didnt they try that to further the experiment?

[@Teeveepicksures]

@@ajl577 because this isnt really an experiment despite the petri dishes, theres no control and she keeps wiping the same spot on the phone

[@ajl577]

@@Teeveepicksures that is true, not exactly scientific.

[@Ray-gu5kp]

That fact that she said Reduce tells you this is all bullshit

[@elduderino1673]

Didn't she just wipe off all the bacteria on the first wipe

[@Teeveepicksures]

The point to be gleaned from this is, wipe your phone with alcohol swabs periodically and use the phone soap once a day

[@Teeveepicksures]

[@Turbohawk84]

@@Teeveepicksures Most modern smartphones have oleophobic coating on the screens. This coating helps prevents fingerprints and helps water bead up when it makes contact with water. Rubbing alcohol would ruin this coating.

[@Teeveepicksures]

@@Turbohawk84 and? who doesnt have a clear protective cover on the screen phone?

[@Turbohawk84]

@@Teeveepicksures You'd be surprised how many people don't. I personally use one on my phone, but I normally just clean my phone with the UV box

[@louised6790]

So how is this compared to isopropyl alcohol? That would be an interesting side by side comparison.

[@julieathome7793]

Karen D wipes don’t get on all the nooks and crannies

[@ErnestMarvinEsteban]

It's better to use both honestly. Bigger chance to kill off any possible bacteria and virus.

[@MichaelZhonga]

alcohol destroys the oleophobic coating that all modern phone screens have that prevent fingerprints, smudges, etc. so def not advisable to use alcohol on a phone screen!

[@hangtownranger]

So, clean your phone with salt water.

[@brittaniistarzz8354]

Why would you want this though if the bacteria on your phone is “good” as that woman said?

[@anneabe1868]

Great video. I'm a germaphobe so I hate anything on my phone that's why I bought atom cleanse device which gets rid of all the germs and bacteria found on my mobile devices. It sanitizes in less than 8 minutes. I'm satisfied of the cleaning quality when it's done.

[@bellawitz85]

I've seen you post this in other videos, I am therefor prepared to assume you work for that company. :P

[@lifesabowlofcherries]

N95 mask clean

[@bigrobj1980]

Seems a bit pointless she said most of the bacteria found was normal and harmless, pretty much makes the machine a total waist of time and money, a quick wipe over with disinfectant wipe will be better and removes any greasy build up Which the machine wont. Watch the video and actually listen to what the lady says

[@VMYeahVN]

You slightly misinterpreted what she said. She said MOST of the bacteria is normal bacteria. That's not the same as saying ALL. The other portion is bacteria that may not be safe and is unwanted. In your daily routine you may come into contact with unclean surfaces and transfer bad bacteria (in addition to whatever normal bacteria) to your phone which could then be transferred to your face and potentially get you sick. Right after she explains what normal flora/good bacteria is, the guy says "and there is that small chance it could transfer something like a cold" and she says "Yes" and goes onto explain how you could also pickup something that could make you ill, and that bacteria is what the Phonesoap is meant to get rid of. She then later in the video shows and verbally confirms that the product was effective at killing bacteria present on the phones surface, both the good and bad types. So it is not pointless. It does exactly as advertised, which is kinda rare these days.

[@TheAbcsd]

great device during this pandemic

[@liameneuk]

The flaw of this experiment was that the first 2 swaps might in themselves cleaned the phone so that the subsequent 2 swaps won't pick up as much bacteria.
