Hospitals, ambulances and care homes commonly use UVC light to sanitise internal environments – and that’s what the Sterillo uses to clean bathroom air.

When it’s not drying hands, the Sterillo’s silently and continuously draws in bathroom air. It then blasts contaminated air with UVC light; a high-frequency light that’s harmless to humans but that destroys bathroom germs.
