My longtime barber (who's since retired) had these ancient contraptions that looked much like toaster ovens, but with UV lamps inside. He would put his haircutting tools in these when not using them, and apparently it kept them sterile... at least to the point of not spreading critters or germs from one person's head to the next.
Now I want one! We have three kids... one likes to toss all the toothbrushes in the sink with soapy water in some vain attempt to wash them like dishes (he also washes his hands in the same water)... his younger brother has been known to leave his toothbrush on the floor, in shoes, under dusty furniture... even give it an occasional dip in the toilet (yech!)... I WANT THE BARBER SHOP STERILIZATION CONTRAPTION! WAAAAH!
Would a simple box with a high output UV LED be enough to sterilize toothbrushes and the like, and if so, which ones? Or which wavelength? I'm completely clueless on this, looking for some help.
Thanks folks! :bow:
