UV-C Surface Sanitizer | Kills 99.99% Germs in 2½ Min

Hidden Germs Live on Surfaces for Days. Eliminate Them in Minutes Without Chemicals

(A two-minute read that may change the way you clean.)

You walked into the office this morning and tapped the biometric scanner with your finger.
You opened the cafeteria fridge, pressed the lift button, signed a document with a shared pen, and finally sat at your desk.
Congratulations: you have already touched more than 300 surfaces before your first coffee.
Each of those surfaces can carry live germs for days.

  • The flu virus lives on steel for 48 hours.
  • Coronavirus can stay on plastic for 72 hours.
  • Norovirus, the “winter vomiting bug”, laughs at your wipe-down and survives for weeks.

Most of us stopped reading scary COVID headlines long ago. But the germs never got the memo. They are still here, hiding in plain sight – on the very things we touch the most.

“Looks Clean” Is Not Clean

A busy restaurant flips a table in five minutes.
A hospital ward has 112 touch-points per patient.
A factory packing line is wiped only at shift change.

Even the best housekeeping team misses up to 50 % of high-touch surfaces.

Where This Hits Your Day

Place The Hidden Germ Spots Who Pays the Price
Office Keyboard, mouse, biometric scanner, shared printer buttons You, your kids, the next meeting
Restaurant Menu cards, chair backs, salt shakers Diners and the staff who serve them
Hotel Room TV remote, bedside lamp switch, bathroom door handle Every new guest
Hospital / Clinic Bed rails, infusion pumps, waiting-room magazines Patients already fighting illness
Factory Floor Control panels, packing tables, forklift steering Product recalls, sick leaves, lost shifts

The Chemical Catch

We spray, wipe, repeat.
But:

  • Human speed: One person can wipe only so many square metres per hour.
  • Chemical contact time: Most disinfectants must stay wet for 60 – 180 seconds – rarely happens.
  • Residue & odour: Bleach fumes give staff headaches. Alcohol cracks plastic panels.
  • Log books: You hope someone signed every line.

A Faster, Quieter Way (No Mop, No Mask, No Mess)

Imagine pushing a small, wheeled tower into the room, tapping your phone, and walking out.
Few minutes later the cycle ends. 99.99 % of bacteria and viruses on every visible surface are now dead.
No liquid, no smell, no wiping streaks left behind.

That tower is called STERO-360.
It works by flooding the room with short-wave ultraviolet light (UV-C).
UV-C breaks the DNA of germs so they cannot copy themselves.

Proof You Can Show an Auditor

  • Each cycle is recorded automatically.
  • Data is stored with NIST/FDA-approved PRISM sensors – the same standard used in pharma labs.
  • A simple web link gives you an audit-ready PDF in one click.

Real Rooms, Real Results

Location Before UV-C (CFU/swab) After UV-C (CFU/swab) Time Saved vs Manual
ICU bed rail 1,200 <1 12 minutes
Restaurant table 180 <1 4 minutes
Factory QC lab bench 350 <1 8 minutes

“But I Already Have Cleaning SOPs”

Good. Keep them.
UV-C is not a replacement – it is the extra safety net that catches whatever the mop missed.
Think of it like the seat-belt after the brakes.

One Device, Many Rooms

  • Hospitals – OTs, isolation wards, dialysis bays.
  • Hotels – guest rooms, gyms, banquet halls.
  • Restaurants – kitchen counters, cold rooms, staff lockers.
  • Offices & Banks – meeting rooms, server rooms, ATM kiosks.
  • Schools & Day-care – classrooms, toy cupboards, nap areas.
  • Manufacturing – packing lines, material cages, change rooms and many more.
