New Pink Zapi Toothbrush Sanitizer Raises Funds to Help ZAP Breast Cancer
In an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer detection and prevention, VIOlight, the makers of revolutionary toothbrush sanitizing products, will introduce a new pink version of its most popular product – the Zapi Toothbrush Sanitizer. VIOlight will donate fifty cents from each sale of the Pink Zapi Toothbrush Sanitizer to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® which is committed to preventing breast cancer and finding a cure in our lifetime by funding clinical and translational research worldwide.
VIOlight is honored to support BCRF in its important mission. With the purchase of a Pink Zapi, consumers join in the fight to combat this devastating disease.
As savvy consumers become more knowledgeable about hygiene and germs, toothbrush sanitizers are becoming the must-have item in bathrooms everywhere. Studies have shown that germs can linger for days on common household items such as a bathroom countertop or a conventional toothbrush holder, and rinsing alone is not enough to rid a toothbrush of those pesky bugs. Zapi uses VIOlight’s germicidal ultraviolet (UV) technology to safely zap away up to 99.9 percent of germs and bacteria on your toothbrush, leaving you free from the threat of germs that cause illness, such as rhinovirus, E. coli, botulism, and salmonella.
Simply place the toothbrush in the egg-shaped unit and the UV technology goes to work. After 7 minutes the battery-operated unit automatically shuts off and the toothbrush is left clean, sanitized and ready for its next use. Zapi features a lifetime UV bulb, operates using 3 AAA batteries (not included) and fits most standard toothbrushes, electric toothbrush heads and smaller kids toothbrushes.
VIOlight’s Pink Zapi Toothbrush Sanitizer has a suggested retail price of $29.95 and can be found at violight.com as well as other fine retailers nationwide.
