Science & Safety

The Science of Cold Plasma
in the SaniChest

Cold plasma is often called the fourth state of matter, alongside solids, liquids, and gases. It is created when energy is applied to air, transforming it into a highly energized but low-temperature state.

Unlike heat-based sterilization, cold plasma operates at room temperature, making it safe for everyday items while still being extremely effective at neutralizing microorganisms.

How Cold Plasma Works

When cold plasma is generated from air, it naturally creates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. These short-lived molecules disrupt bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold by damaging their outer membranes and preventing them from reproducing.

Because these reactive species dissipate quickly, no chemical residue is left behind

How Clean Play Uses Cold Plasma in the SaniChest

The SaniChest uses a dry, air-based cold plasma system inside a sealed chamber. Air is energized to create cold plasma, reactive species circulate evenly throughout the unit, microorganisms are neutralized, and the air safely returns to its normal state.

No liquids, sprays, or chemical disinfectants are required.

Why Cold Plasma Is Different

Traditional sanitization relies on chemicals, heat, or moisture.

Cold plasma sanitizes without chemicals, without moisture, without heat damage, and without residues or odours.

Why It’s Safe –
Frequently Asked Questions

Is cold plasma safe to use around pets
and people?

Yes. The SaniChest uses low-temperature, air-based cold plasma inside a fully enclosed chamber. The process occurs only when the lid is closed

Does the SaniChest use chemicals?

No. The SaniChest does not use chemicals, sprays, or liquids.

Will anything be left behind?

No. Reactive species revert back to clean air, leaving no residue or odour.

Is it safe for sensitive items?

Yes, the system operates at room temperature and uses a dry, moisture-free process, making it safe for sensitive items such as hydrometers, watches, and cell phones.

Does it produce ozone?

The system operates within safe, controlled limits, and reactive species are short-lived and contained.

Can it damage materials?

Cold plasma is non-abrasive and non-corrosive when used as directed.

Has this technology been used before?

Yes. Cold plasma has been widely studied and used in healthcare, food safety, and sanitation.

Important Safety & Regulatory

The SaniChest is designed to support routine hygiene and sanitization of everyday items. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, nor is it intended to replace medical-grade sterilization equipment or clinical infection-control procedures.

Clean Play’s cold plasma technology is used within controlled operating parameters and is intended for consumer and commercial hygiene applications when used according to instructions. Always follow the user manual and safety guidance provided with the product.

Regulatory requirements and classifications may vary by country, region, or application. Claims and intended use should be interpreted in accordance with applicable local regulations.
