Occasionally I see some interesting travel related products being crowd funded that I think you guys might be interested in. We’ve talked about Fluent Forever (an app to learn languages), and the Voyage Travel Bag among others. Here’s a few of the travel related crowd funded projects that I’ve seen

Today I wanted to talk a bit about the Cleansebot – the world’s first bacteria killing robot. I know this is only tangentially related to travel, but it was just so cool looking I had to share. One of its features IS the ability to clean / sanitize hotel beds and other surfaces you come into contact with while traveling (see below), so I guess that’s the angle 🙂
It is on Kickstarter only through this SUNDAY (January 6th). All Kickstarter links may pay me a commission if you boost the project through my link.
Cleansebot – bacteria killing robot features
The Cleansebot bacteria killing robot is made to disinfect and clean beds and other surfaces from germs, mold, bacteria, dust mites or other creepy-crawlies.
The idea is that when you travel, you’re exposed to more bacteria and germs than you get in your normal life. Cleansebot is built to sanitize and disinfect using UV-C light. In an independent study, it killed 99.9% of all E.coli bacteria.
Here are a few pictures of the Cleansebot bacteria killing robot
In addition to the under-blanket mode (pictured above), you can operate it in handheld mode or power bank mode
