Travelers tired of contracting illnesses from airplanes may take interest in a new product getting off the ground via Kickstarter. CleanseBot is a packable robot, small enough to hold in one hand, that would eliminate bacteria found in hotel bedding and other surfaces.

The robot uses C-spectrum ultraviolet light to kill bacteria, germs and even dust mites, according to founder Tom Yang.

“It can go remotely under the blankets and sanitize sheets, but then you can pick it up … and hold it over literally any surface, toy, item, anything you want to disinfect,” he told CNN.

Yang got the idea for CleanseBot when he and his wife visited a hotel room on a vacation that hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly.

“We realized that even though we couldn’t control how well hotels cleaned their rooms, we could create a way to control our own health and safety while staying there,” said Yang.

The machine weighs less than a pound and comes with a portable charger. It can clean for three hours on a full charge. The robot’s sensors prevent it from falling off a surface like a bed. Though still in development, the company hopes to release in April.
