Sanitising a baby bag in minutes with this nifty Puribar gadget

As a parent, I feel like A LOT of my time is spent cleaning and sanitising. Of course, this is to protect my precious offspring from germs and other nasties.

I know that they will fall and get mud on their knees and drop food and eat it from the floor and lots of other things and I can’t stop them. It’s something I expect and I can’t keep them 100% free from particles that are all around.

Coronavirus definitely made me think about invisible threats and so I looked around for air purifiers. I mean walk around the streets of London vs some mountain air and there is such a difference….clean air is so nice.

There seem to be a few air purifiers/sanitisers for industrial purposes and then obviously Dyson which is found in many homes, but these are way out of my price range and I wanted something a little more compact that I can take out with me.

I discovered Puribar, an eco-friendly sanitation device that kills up to 99% of bacteria and viruses in minutes. The PuriBar basically has two layers of purification and eliminates chemicals, smoke, odour, and airborne particles such as pollen, mould spores, bacteria and viruses and leaving only oxygen.

It’s small, around 14 cm and weighs less than 100 grams. It fits neatly into my handbag and more importantly baby changing bags and also children’s school bags. Once it’s turned on, (a simple twist and then mode selection) the device releases a combination of both ozone (to catch the polluting molecules) and negative ions (to neutralise the pollutants) which reach every corner of an enclosed space. The PuriBar even notifies users of disinfection success by beeping to indicate start and finish of sanitisation cycles.

In handbag mode, the PuriBar purifies up to 5L in just 4 minutes. In backpack mode, (perfect for changing and school bags) it covers up to 20L in 6 minutes, suitcase mode gives up to 30L in 8 minutes and, finally, in loop mode, the PuriBar releases ozone for 4 minutes on a recurring cycle every 2 hours until the battery runs out.

Fully charged after 2.5 hours, the PuriBar’s 1600mAh battery capacity means it can be used – in loop mode – for up to 9 hours. The 6.75W rated power also benefits from low power consumption, but PuriBar also supports an LED battery display and real-time charging.

From safeguarding the health of the whole family to disinfection in just a few minutes, as well as reducing allergy risks, it can also be used to get rid of lingering pet and cooking odours.

The device’s marketing sums it up perfectly: “Even though you may wash household items on a daily basis, unfortunately, germs such as Escherichia coli, aspergillus flavus, and dust mites are hard to eliminate and pose invisible threat to our health, which calls for a simple but efficient way of sanitization in our daily life. And this is exactly why we have launched the PuriBar. It helps you remove airborne pollutants at any time you want – super fast. An enclosed unoccupied space is all it needs.”

The ZHIYUN PuriBar is available from 20 October via https://geni.us/puribar_pr, priced at £54.99.
