| I have a Verilux cleaning wand exactly like the one above. |
Cleaning and sanitizing is a constant task in a music studio...well...it is in my studio!
There are things that are relatively easy to clean and most of those things (floors, walls, washrooms) are cleaned daily by the cleaning company I hire. Everything else is on me though.
There are many things in a music studio that are just not so easy to clean and (until recently) next to impossible to disinfect or sanitize. A couple of years ago I discovered the Verilux UV-C lightwand and it has made this task so much easier!
Now...I just wave my magic wand...and things get cleaner.:)
I use it to sanitize things like:
- jingle bells
- those lovely organic looking shakers and scrapers from other countries
- cloth/yarn mallets
- drum skins
- my piano keyboards (huge bonus during cold/flu season)
- computer keyboard
- cushions
- scarves
- buttons on accordians, autoharp
- strings and board of my melody harps
- fingerboards on guitars, violins, cello, bows, banjo, ukuleles
- quick cleaning of previously handled (but not soiled) instruments in between groups (like egg shakers, sticks, sandblocks)

| If you are a travelling teacher, music therapist or space is at a premium, I recommend a smaller portable wand that can easily be packed for travel. I recently learned air pilots and stewards travel with them to clean pillows and mattresses in hotels. |
UV-C light has been proven to be a chemical-free method for sanitizing surfaces. This same light source is apparently used in some hospitals to treat surgical equipment before surgery.
The parents at my studio sometimes ask how I manage to keep everything clean...this is definitely one of the tools I use.
Having your own magic wand is a very cool thing!
