Unlike a regular vacuum, this handy gadget helps to sanitize surfaces as it cleans. The CleanWave Sanitizing Portable Vacuum is a [handheld cleaning device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-surface-cleaner) that uses 400 watts of power and a strong suction mechanism to pick up dirt and debris. In addition to cleaning various surfaces, the vacuum also uses powerful [UV technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umma-diamond-sonic-toothbrush) to kill microorganisms and prevent future bacterial growth. This means that the vacuum can be used to eliminate bacteria, mold, viruses and even pest eggs.
