Abstract
A method for simplified sterilization is provided which does not use a harmful medium such as a disinfectant and ultraviolet radiation and which is able to reach all portions of objects to be sterilized, where sterilization is realized without high temperatures being generated. After applying a small amount of water or mixture of water and ethanol to an object to be sterilized, or after spraying a liquid gas, far-infrared radiation is applied using a carbon lamp which has high far-infrared radiation efficiency.
