UV Disinfection Device and Method

A device for cleaning a target comprising:

• a housing including a base and a lid;
• a chamber within the housing having a top within the lid, a bottom within the base, and at least one UV reflective plate;
• at least one UV emitter attached to the housing and positioned to emit UV radiation into the chamber;
• a support rotatably attached to the housing and located in the chamber, the support configured for locating the target so that the UV radiation illuminates the target;
• and
• means for rotating the support relative to the base so that the target moves relative to the at least one UV emitter.

• and
• a fan for providing an airflow impinging on the at least one fin to rotate the support relative to the base to thereby move the target relative to the at least one UV emitter.
