Introducing your shUVee™
Ultraviolet Shoe Deodorizer
Ultraviolet light technology has been
utilized to  ght germs in hospitals,
nursing homes, and other sensitive
environments for years. Now this
technology is available for home use.
The shUVee™ Ultraviolet Shoe
Deodorizer uses the power of UV light
to clean the surface areas inside your
shoes. No chemicals or other biological
agents are used in this process. The
pure cleaning power of UV light, along
with a short period of time, is all that
is needed to clean the inside of your
shoes. Normally, this dark and often
damp area serves as a breeding
ground for bacteria and fungus
that can attack the feet and cause
foul odor. Now with the shUVee™
Ultraviolet Shoe Deodorizer your feet
can begin their day inside shoes that
smell like new.
