poop on their phones including me until recently I knew that FICO matter flying
out of your toilet when you flushed it was kind of an issue but I didn't quite
realize how bad it actually was luckily someone at the welcome trust did know
about this the welcome trust's aim is to and I quote achieve extraordinary
improvements in health by supporting the brightest minds and essentially they're
an independent charity that funds research to improve human and animal
health they accomplished this by being one of the world's largest providers of
non-governmental funding and they funded
a study that found that one in six phones are contaminated by feal matter
which wouldn't be a problem if you could wash your phone the same way you wash
dishes enter the phone soap charger a proper cleaning solution for your phone
phone soap claims and I quote that there is a lot of ways to sanitize your phone
such as with soap bleach or fire the
first two will very possibly damage your phone and however awesome cleansing your
phone with fire may sound don't do it
although that being said having a fire cleansing blowtorch for your phone would
be pretty metal ah back to reality so how does it work well the phone soap
utilizes ultraviolet germic radiation
which is already used in a variety of applications including food air and
water purification the the specific ultraviolet light required is called UVC
which is short wavelength ultraviolet radiation and the phone soap uses two
UVC lamps which are positioned above and below the phone while it is inside the
phone soap charger all of this sounds great because after all the research
I've been doing I'd rather not have this acne causing disease spreading crap pun
intended on my phone because that thing goes against my face man some amount of
germs can be good for your immune system but the amount that is on your phone
could be a little bit too much now that we know how it works let's do a quick
tour of the unit in terms of build quality well it's a plastic box it's
totally unexceptional but it also isn't horrible I would have liked to see more
considering you're paying $60 for what is essentially two UV lamps a USB plug
and some plastic housing around it but if it performs its function then I guess
that's all right speaking of USB plug you can plug in any USB cable you want
into the unit so be able to charge pretty much whatever phone you have
which is nice and there's an LED on the front of the unit which shows its status
blue means the unit is currently in cleaning mode and green means your phone
is fully charged and last but not least there are unique acoustic Outlets AKA
holes which are cut into the bottom of the unit which will allow sound to pass
through so you won't miss any alarms or notifications that may go off and with
that out of the way the question on everyone's mind is does it actually work
well phone soap and the Daily Planet both seem to think so they went to a
microbiology lab and made this video I'm No scientist but their results seemed a
little bit too amazing and although this is my personal nonprofessional
opinion uh I wasn't a fan of a few things about their methodology one they
sprayed pre-made bacteria on the phone and immediately went to Cleansing it
with a phone soap or in the case of the control immediately pressing against an
augar plate this process doesn't seem as
real world as we would like with our testing two they only left the phone in
the phone soap for the 4-minute cycle that it takes to clean the phone not the
common way I would expect people to use it which is an overnight cycle three
they claim you see results of the control test that was had bacteria that
was living on the phone but it was just sprayed on the phone with a solution
that was pre-created all in all it felt like the control test was just a result
of exactly what was in the spray bottle they may have well just sprayed the
spray bottle directly onto the agar and again I'm not a scientist but letting
different bacteria live on the phone for prolonged period of time so it has time
to cultivate and grow like it would in the real world especially in pockets and
purses which act almost like incubators would make for a more realistic test
than just a spray bottle the test didn't have much to do with the phone they
could have actually sprayed this Solution on any non-biocidal object and
the results honestly would have been the same so let's walk through the methodologies we used we actually
decided to do it a second time because we were worried when our initial results
conflicted with the daily Planet the first test was with two separate HTC1
m8s which I cleaned off with an alcohol solution then I used both of them the
exact same way doing the exact same thing for 2 days I then put one phone in
the phone soap and left it on the table and left the other one on the table
beside it for a total of 8 hours after which I let the cultures grow in AAR for
a little over a week the results were inconclusive with all the plates looking
more or less the same and we were concerned that using two different
phones and letting the plates cultivate for too long may have both affected our
results the second test was done with one phone an iPhone 4 I ran this through
a worst case scenario by intentionally not taking care of it the way I normally
do as I'm actually quite anal about the cleanliness of my phone un intended I
prepared AAR plates and then swabbed the phone before putting it in phone soap
charger as I first put four plates in our war warm server room to cultivate
after 8 hours I swabbed the now phone soaped phone and did the same thing
about 4 days later it takes longer because we don't have incubator I first
took the control samples out and filmed an examination of them and then 8 hours
later I took the phone so samples out and filmed an examination of them as
well doing the exact same procedure to be clear once again we're not scientists
and we totally love to hear your feedback on our methodology and we're
not specifically calling out the Daily Planet we just thought this thing was
pretty cool so we bought it for an unboxing ages ago but since we don't do
unboxings anymore we end up having to actually review it I don't actually
think there's anything inherently ly wrong with daily planet's testing methodology and it is likely more
technically correct than ours is I just prefer more real world testing scenario
when testing something that I will actually use in the real world this is
the same reason why we do gaming benchmarks by actually playing the game
instead of using a canned Benchmark in the end the results were not as good as
I was hoping after watching the other video but it did have a repeatable
measurable positive effect in one case
it actually left the plate very if not perfectly clean but it did leave things
behind in our three other scenarios another thing to note is that we are not
in a lab so the control group isn't perfect meaning that all the AAR plates
didn't have the exact same bacteria or the exact same amount of bacteria in
them but that doesn't change the fact that the phone soap still didn't cleanse
whatever that bacteria was off the phone and this bacteria is what came out of
the foone soap so as far as I can tell if you want something that can mostly
clean your phone then the phone soap is it but it may not be the 100% effective
solution that the Daily Planet showed in their video and it also won't help the
fact that your pocket is essentially an incubator and you are growing cultures
