The world’s first portable sanitizer offering 360-degree cleaning

Story

Introducing Deep Purple™

Traditional UV sanitizers are bulky and only clean one side of your device. Deep Purple is a folding UV sanitizer which cleans a full 360°, giving your belongings an all-over clean anywhere, anytime.

 

What makes Moshi’s Deep Purple™ UV sanitizer unique?

 

Why use Deep Purple™?

Chemical-free sanitization

Traditional methods of keeping your personal belongings clean can be inconvenient, wasteful, and harmful to the environment. Deep Purple™  provides an effective, safe, and chemical-free method of cleaning anywhere, anytime.

All-over cleaning

Other UV sanitizers only clean the top side of an object, which means you still need to flip it over to clean the other side, touching both the cleaned and uncleaned surfaces in the process. Deep Purple™ provides 360-degree cleaning, with our transparent LumiClear™ platform to elevate the contents and an ultra-reflective Teflon base to ensure UV rays reach every surface.

 

Deep Purple™ highlights

 

How does Deep Purple™ work?

Deep Purple™ uses LEDs which emit UV type-C (UV-C) rays with short wavelengths. These work by disrupting the structure of microbial cells, rendering them unable to reproduce or multiply.

Inside, a highly reflective interior coating ensures light is distributed throughout the cleaning chamber for a thorough, all-over clean.

Why use UV-C LEDs?

Many UV sanitizers use traditional UV-C lamps due to their lower cost. Deep Purple™ utilizes newer UV-C LED technology which offers superior quality, performance, and longevity.

 

Folds flat. Goes anywhere

Deep Purple™ features an ultra-thin form factor that folds up neatly in seconds, sliding effortlessly into a bag, backpack, or suitcase so you can take it with you anywhere. 

Using the included USB cable, Deep Purple™ can be powered by a wall adapter, car charger, or portable battery to give you ultimate cleaning freedom in coffee shops, parks, hotels, and everywhere in between.

 

What can I clean with Deep Purple™?

Deep Purple™ can clean all kinds of personal items—phones, remote controls, gaming controllers, pens, cutlery, earphones, and more. Take it with you to the coffee shop to clean utensils before you eat, the remote control in your hotel room, or to work to clean your mouse, glasses, ID card, or laser pointer. If you’re a parent, Deep Purple™ is the helping hand you need, sanitizing your family’s daily necessities no matter where you are. Clean kids’ toys, cutlery, pacifiers, and more without chemicals, waste, or residue. 

 

Easy to use

 

Before and after cleaning with Deep Purple™

Deep Purple’s UV-C light targets the DNA of microbes on the cellular level and negates their ability to reproduce. The result is significantly reduced microbial activity with just a single cleaning cycle. 

 

Anti-Microbial Testing

Deep Purple’s anti-microbial effectiveness has been tested by independent laboratories.

Designed with safety in mind

Many other UV sanitizing solutions (such as non-enclosed UV wands) may expose the user to potentially harmful UV-C rays. Deep Purple™ employs dual safety mechanisms to ensure no UV leakage.

 

How do I know it works?

With traditional UV sanitizers, there’s no way to really know if sanitization was truly effective, giving you no choice but to believe their claim. Deep Purple’s UV indicator contains UV-reactive paint which changes color with exposure to UV-C rays, providing visible proof that the interior has been exposed to a sufficient quantity of UV light.

 

Deep Purple™ vs. other sanitizers

 

Combine with OmniGuard™ for even greater protection

Deep Purple™ helps protect you from the things you touch, but how about the air you breathe? Moshi’s OmniGuard™ Mask features replaceable Nanohedron™ filters which block particles down to PM 0.75 (75 microns), lasting up to six weeks. OmniGuard™ is reusable, washable, and features our NanoShield anti-microbial coating to prevent buildup of germs and mold.

Risks and challenges

Moshi is an established company, working with reliable, reputable partners and suppliers. Despite our careful planning, there will always be risks and challenges when developing any new product and we may encounter circumstances out of our control, especially given the current COVID-19 pandemic. We endeavor to communicate with full transparency to our backers should we encounter any obstacles resulting in production or delivery delays and work to resolve all issues in a timely manner.

 

Environmental commitments

Sustainable materials – Since day one, Moshi has taken a stance against leather products. Our designers prefer vegan leather as it is not only a more lightweight material but has the added benefit of being cruelty-free, which is appreciated by customers around the world.

Long-lasting design – Our design and engineering experts select only the finest materials to follow our mantra of making fewer, better products. This, combined with our 10-year Global Warranty, underscores our commitment to product quality and reinforces our stance against excessive consumerism.

Reusability and recyclability – In 2012, Moshi was the first accessory brand to use paper certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council. This is also when we began using soy ink, which is easier to remove during recycling and comes from a renewable source.

Extending usable life – By sanitizing your face masks, goggles, and other medical equipment, Deep Purple™ helps you to extend their useful lifespans and keep them out of the landfill, significantly reducing environmental impact.
