Your phone is there for the morning alarm, the commute, lunchtime scrolling and the last message before bed. But while charging it is second nature, giving it a little attention between all those outings can be easy to forget.

The Manhattan UV Phone Sanitizer offers a simple addition to your phone-care routine, and it is currently on sale at Back to the Office for just £4.99.

What does it do?

This enclosed sanitiser uses integrated UV LEDs and offers a choice of 1-minute or 5-minute cycles. It is designed to sanitise suitable items without liquids or chemicals, with an automatic shut-off that turns the UV light off when the lid is opened.

Think of it as an extra step in caring for the things you handle regularly. It does not wipe away fingerprints, grease or visible dirt, so keep following your phone manufacturer’s cleaning guidance too.

More than a phone accessory

The compartment can also accommodate smaller everyday items such as keys, jewellery and earbuds. Its internal dimensions are 19.6 × 9.9 × 2.5 cm, so check that your item fits comfortably, particularly if your phone wears a bulky case.

The features at a glance

• Two cycle options: choose 1 minute or 5 minutes.
• Automatic UV shut-off: the light switches off when the lid opens.
• USB powered: a USB-C to USB-A cable is included.
• White finish: a simple look for your desk or shelf.
• Three-year warranty: included with the product.

A small addition to your daily routine

A good place to start is with a moment you already set aside: clearing your desk at the end of the day or putting your keys away when you get home. Keeping phone care alongside an existing habit makes it easier to remember.

Before using the sanitiser, read the supplied instructions for item suitability, positioning and operation. UV treatment depends on exposure, so avoid assuming that a closed case, covered surface or stacked item receives the same treatment as an exposed surface.
