Clean enough
for little lungs.

Children breathe more air per kilogram than adults, and they put everything in their mouth. UV-C leaves no chemical residue, no fragrance, and no surfactant film on the toys, mats, and tables they share.

Industry Context

What chemical cleaning leaves behind

Standard centre cleaning relies on quaternary ammonium and chlorine compounds — effective but not residue-free. Children with asthma, eczema, and chemical sensitivities react to those residues. UV-C disinfects with light, then powers off. There is nothing left for a child to touch, taste, or breathe.

Pathogens of Concern

What we're treating, specifically.

01

Hand-foot-and-mouth

Highly transmissible through shared toys and play surfaces.

02

Gastro outbreaks

A single case can close a room for a week without aggressive disinfection.

03

RSV & respiratory illness

Particularly serious in under-2 rooms.

04

Conjunctivitis

Spreads via shared towels, books, and soft toys.

Use Cases

How UV Sterile fits your operation.

End-of-day reset

Treat the full room — including soft toys, mats, and reading corners — after children depart.

Sleep room turnaround

Cots, sheets in transit, and sleep mats get a residue-free pass between rest periods.

Toy and equipment cycling

Rotate batches of toys through UV-C treatment weekly. Soft toys, blocks, dress-ups.

Outbreak response

Same-day mobilisation when a notifiable illness is confirmed in your centre.

Compliance

National Quality Standard alignment.

Treatment supports your obligations under Quality Area 2 (Children's health and safety), specifically Element 2.1.2 (Health practices and procedures). We provide treatment logs suitable for ACECQA assessment visits, parent communications, and outbreak notifications to the local public health unit.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Are children present during treatment?

Never. UV-C at our intensity is industrial — the room is cleared, doors closed, and treatment is operated by remote key fob from outside. Re-entry is immediate once the unit powers down.

Does UV-C damage soft toys?

At periodic treatment intervals, no. We've treated centres with thousands of soft toys with no observable degradation over years of service.

Can you treat outdoor play equipment?

Yes, though sunlight delivers some natural UV-C-adjacent radiation already. We typically focus indoor surfaces where natural UV doesn't reach.

How is this priced for a multi-room centre?

Per-room or whole-facility flat rate. Contact us for a centre-specific quote — most centres find weekly or fortnightly contracts most cost-effective.
