Would this work to clean homemade cloth masks? Obviously they would need to be folded, so im wondering if it would be effective.

The only way this works is if the UV-C light shines on the surface to be sanitized. When folding, you are placing parts of the mask in shadows, and cloth in shadow will not get sanitizer. In addition, cloth filters trap contaminants on the surface, called “surface loading”, and within the depth of the cloth, called “depth loading”. This type of sanitizer is not effective at decontaminating depth loading materials. Is it better than nothing? Yes. Is it fully effective? No. My suggestion is to machine wash your cloth masks, and line dry (if you’re employing elastic).

What wavelength does the wand produce? does amazon sell any true far uv-c products (207-222nm)?

Thank you for your question. The UV-C LED wavelength of the light is 265nm - 285nm. (nm stands for Nanometer) The UV-C LED light does not emit Ozone. The UV-C LED will sanitize faster than others, because we use an LED bulb. We don't release the LED output power, as it is proprietary. However, generally speaking our LEDs deliver between 5 mj/cm2 and 10 mj/cm2, with the distance of the object and size of the object to the LED being the biggest variables. UV-C is part of "UV". However, UV has many different wavelengths, so saying UV your not automatically talking UV-C. Transition Lenses are not designed to respond to UV-C because UV-C light typically never reaches ground level. It is filtered out by the Ozone layer, high in the atmosphere. Odds are those lenses would respond to UV-B and UV-A, but not UV-C or far-UV-C, the shortest wavelengths

What is the wave it works on?

OK, UV light has three wavelength categories: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. UV-C light is a short-wavelength, ultraviolet light that breaks apart germ DNA, leaving it unable to function or reproduce. In other words, UV-C light is germicidal (UV-A and UV-B light are not). UV-C can even neutralize “superbugs” that have developed a resistance to antibiotics. This unit has 4 LED's 2 on each side and appears to be a reflective coating to help bounce the light around. It comes with a bottom stand that can be removed and 3 u shaped clips to hold a phone upright. The stand so the items don't lay on the bottom and no light can get to them. The charging cord is short, opposite side from the start button. Put your stuff in, close and make sure the pull tab is down of the magnetic, press the button, 1 minute later you are done. The pull tab is a safety feature to ensure you can't start the unit and look inside at the same time. I hope that helps.

Does it sanitize both sides of phone?

Yes. It has a stand to hold your phone and it is cleaned while sitting in the stand on it’s side. Both sides receive equal cleaning.
