INTRODUCING The shUVee
®
ULTRAVIOLET SHOE DEODORIZER
Ultraviolet light technology has been
utilized to ght germs in hospitals, nursing
homes, and other sensitive environments
for years. Similar technology is now
available for home use.
The shUVee
®
Ultraviolet Shoe Deodorizer
is designed to channel 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

short period of time, is all that is needed
to clean the inside of your shoes. This
typically dark, damp area is a breeding
ground for bacteria and fungus that can
attack the feet and cause foul odors.
Now, with The shUVee
®
Ultraviolet Shoe
Deodorizer, your feet can begin their day
inside shoes that smell like new!
