Why Full Disinfection Matters

Disinfecting shared headsets between every use supports safer sharing, builds user confidence and reduces disposable-wipe costs and waste. AAMA helped develop ASTM standards addressing sanitation of shared head- and face-worn devices in the amusement industry.

Increase Adoption

Cleanbox clients consistently report that users feel safer and are more willing to share headsets when Cleanbox disinfection is part of the process.

Hygiene concerns can make people hesitant to share a headset. More than 40% of respondents in a 2021 U.S. survey of 2,000 people identified as germaphobes, according to RNZ.

Survey reported by RNZ, May 2022.

Why Chemical Wipes Fall Short

Chemical wipes aren’t a simple solution for shared XR devices. For chemical wipes with a ten-minute disinfection contact time, treated surfaces must remain visibly wet for the full 10 minutes, then air dry. Always follow the specific product label. Headsets combine complex shapes, hard plastic surfaces, and porous fabrics and foams, making consistent coverage challenging. Unsuitable cleaners can also damage headset materials over time.

EPA: contact time and product labels

Meta for Work: business headset resources

Get Headsets Back into Use Faster

Keep shared headsets moving between users. A chemical-wipe process requiring 10 minutes of wet contact time, followed by air drying, adds waiting time before the next use. Allowing up to ten additional minutes for drying gives an illustrative 10–20-minute turnaround; actual drying time varies with conditions.

Compare that with Cleanbox’s one-minute disinfection cycle, without waiting for chemical disinfectant to air dry. Pre-cleaning and handling are separate from cycle time.

EPA-accepted label example (2006): ten-minute wet contact, then air dry

Disinfect Thousands of High Touch Devices

Cleaning shared electronic devices such as VR, AR and mixed‑reality headsets with disposable wipes is costly, time‑consuming and never achieves the level of hygiene that Cleanbox systems deliver in one minute.

All frequently touched devices can transmit pathogens; headsets are an even greater concern because they make direct contact with face and head. Using wipes simply isn’t scalable. Cleanbox provides a proven, safe alternative.

Our UVC LED technology is lab‑validated to eliminate up to 99.999% of harmful pathogens—100× more effective than manual cleaning—while reducing costs by 10–30×. Enjoy more than five years of maintenance‑free service with no bulbs to replace.

Cleanbox UVC LED vs. UVC Bulb Cabinets

There are hundreds of UVC bulb-based cabinets on the market advertising fast, effective disinfection—so why is there only one Cleanbox UVC LED solution?

Traditional UVC Bulb Cabinets

  • Common across hundreds of cabinet products
  • Require warm-up time before reaching full output
  • Use mercury-containing bulbs that require replacement and regulated disposal
  • May generate heat or ozone that can create added risk for sensitive electronics and materials

The Cleanbox UVC LED Difference

  • The only lab-validated UVC LED solution engineered to achieve full disinfection in 60 seconds
  • Instant-on LEDs with no warm-up period
  • No mercury bulbs, replacement schedule, or hazardous-bulb disposal
  • Safe for devices, lenses, materials, and electronics—without ever damaging them

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does Cleanbox Take to Disinfect a Virtual or Augmented Reality Device?

1-Minute (60 seconds) to reach 99.999% disinfection.  Place your device in the Cleanbox, close the door, and push the button; 1-minute later, the cleaning cycle is done. You can run a 30-second cleaning cycle and reach nearly 99.99% disinfection. No other technology on earth can disinfect as consistently, safely, and rapidly as Cleanbox patented UVC LED Disinfection Systems.

What's Wrong With Using Wipes to Clean a VR Headset?

Simply put, it’s nearly impossible to disinfect a VR headset properly using antibacterial wipes because of the requirement of “Wet Contact Time.” For most antibacterial chemicals to work at a minimal level, they require 4-10 minutes of Wet Contact Time. This is not only time-consuming and laborious, but it is nearly impossible to achieve on porous surfaces.

Wipes were designed for flat, hard surfaces, not complex porous materials like plastics, fabrics, and leather.  Using wipes will cost a fortune over time and pollute the environment while doing little for proper disinfection.

Does Cleanbox Guarantee the Safety of my Virtual Reality Headset?

Yes, Cleanbox UVC LED disinfection systems are safe for any materials, lenses, and electronics. Cleanbox guarantees against any damage to your XR equipment if you use Cleanbox UVC LED systems exclusively for disinfection.

What is the Life of a Cleanbox?

Cleanbox UVC LED disinfection systems are rated for 600,000 1-minute cleaning cycles. Even under the heaviest use cases, Cleanbox devices will easily provide 4-5+ years of maintenance-free life with no LED bulb replacements.

Why Choose Cleanbox UVC LED Instead of a UVC Bulb-Based Cabinet?

Hundreds of UVC bulb-based cabinets advertise fast disinfection, but bulb technology can require warm-up time, replacement bulbs, hazardous-material disposal, and may expose sensitive devices to unwanted heat or ozone. Cleanbox is the only lab-validated UVC LED solution engineered to achieve full disinfection in 60 seconds without ever damaging devices, lenses, materials, or electronics.
