Our Story

In 2011, PhoneSoap  founders Dan Barnes and Wes LaPorte set out to harness the power of UV-C light to tackle the problem of totally gross, germ-covered cellphones. Ten years, and gazillions of zapped germs later, we’re helping people around the world defeat harmful bacteria and viruses on all kinds of gear and in all kinds of air.

Stop fighting germs like it’s 1999.

Many people believe wipes and chemical cleaners are ideal disinfection tools, but they’re inconsistent at best. These old-school germ fighters offer slow disinfection rates, leave fumes and residue behind, and generate billions of plastic containers per year. We knew there had to be a better way—and we found the answer in UV-C light. After much trial and error, we created the safe, controlled, microbe-defeating environment you’ll find in every PhoneSoap product.

Tackle tough-to-kill pathogens wherever they hide.

Backed by a decade of leadership and innovation, our UV light disinfection tools are designed and rigorously tested in the U.S. Our patented 360-degree disinfection ensures germicidal light reaches even the tiniest crevices that wipes and liquid cleaning products can’t. And we help you kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses* in the process.

Kill germs like a modern human.
