As the name suggests, this is a sterilizing box that utilizes ultraviolet light to kill and deactivate microorganisms on the surface of the object you place within. If you're not using it to sterilize your nail tools, from drill bits to buffers, you can use it to sterilize things that you use daily, such as masks, jewelry, gadgets, and cosmetic items that can all be cleaned and sterilized. The disinfection chamber should not contain any items that have been exposed to acetone, such as drill bits. On top of all that, it doubles as a wireless phone charger. It's as simple as plugging the machine into a power source. After that, put your phone on the table (capable of wireless charging inside the box, making sure that the box is properly closed). To confirm that your device is charging correctly, you must press the blue button. It will beep after five minutes to tell you that your phone is completely sanitized! At this point, your phone has been thoroughly cleaned and recharged. Why is the UV Sterilization Box important?
