LAKEFIELD, Ontario — Lakefield IGA here has installed a shopping cart sanitizer from SaniCart-UV at the store’s entrance.
The system reduces the risk of germ transmission by using ultraviolet light to destroy germs typically found on a cart handle and child seat basket, said SaniCart-UV.
In a process that takes about 20 seconds, the shopper inserts the cart into the system and presses the “start” button to turn on the UV light. A small screen loops a tutorial video for customers.
The store previously offered wet wipes to customers. Ross Bletsoe, president of Lakefield IGA, said in a statement that customer response has been extremely positive.
