and every day I clean the head piece, nasal piece, air hose, water container, filter, with ultraviolet light.

The machine can also be used to "clean" everyday items like credit cards, cell phone, whatever. I had a different kind of cleaning machine but I switched to ultraviolet 2 years ago and love it.

Oh yeah, I follow college wrestling and at the national tournament they use 8 mats at once. In between matches they run a "gizmo" across the mat that uses ultraviolet.
