5 URBANIZE ITEMS THAT MUST BE IN YOUR GO-TO MECQ KIT

After easing through several levels of the community quarantines, Metro Manila is now back to Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine until August 15 due to the continuous rise of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines.

We hope for cases to gradually slow down and fade out, but the truth of the matter is—we are still far from totally flattening the curve. With this global crisis far from being over, you might want to get yourself ready with these reliable and practical finds from Urbanize.

Mobework UV Sanitizing Pen

SRP 3,490.00, available in all Urbanize stores and online at urbanizeexclusives

Best known for its next-generation electronic gadgets and phone accessories, Mobework has recently added two new products that are seemingly perfect to ease your fear of contamination caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.

It’s no secret that ultraviolet light is an effective option for sanitation as it destroys the molecular bond that holds together the DNA of viruses and bacteria, regardless of drug resistance. This is why at-home methods of UV sterilization have been getting a lot of attention lately because of its efficacy.

This new device from Mobework can eliminate over 99% of bacteria on personal items like phones, tablets, keyboards, bags, and other surfaces that are constantly exposed. It has two modes in one button: allowing the user the flexibility to switch between 90 seconds and 60 minutes. This product is also made of high-grade materials such as IPX7 water resistance and high resistance polyacrylonitrile, which could last a lifetime.

 

MOBEWORK AIR PURIFIER

SRP 3,490.00 (available in black, blue, pink, turquoise, and white). Urbanize stores and online at urbanizeexclusives

The general consensus is that while air purifiers don’t necessarily offer much protection against COVID-19, they may be worthwhile in specific ones such as reducing a variety of air pollutants including PM2.5, smoke, odor, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, and allergens.

Using a cutting-edge technology called electrostatic purification, this device can emit 26 million negative ions into the air that push harmful pollutants away from your breathing zone, creating a sphere of protection around you.

This portable personal purifier operates for 20 hours on one single charge, ensuring that you can carry it wherever and whenever you need it. The device also includes a proprietary conductive lanyard that features a breakaway connector for extra safety.

TRUE NO CONTACT GADGET

No Contact Gadget which is used to prevent direct contact with surface areas such as door handles, elevator buttons, touch screen devices (ATMs, phone, etc.), drawer handles, and power light switches, to name a few. It contains an absorbent sponge with chlorine that disinfects areas that are naturally exposed to contaminations.

And because it’s lightweight, compact, and portable, you can carry it with you anywhere you go, proving it to be ultra-useful during these times when you need to be extra careful.

TRUE UV COMPACT SANITIZER AND DRYER

SRP 2990.00 Available in all Urbanize stores and online at urbanizeexclusives

For something that’s easy to use, portable, and provides 2-in-1 protection, the True UV Compact Sanitizer and Dryer is a must-have.
