Begun on March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the coronavirus devastated the world. To protect the populace from infection, the experts taught the public to wash hands, clean the surface they use or encounter and to maintain social distancing. The airborne capabilities of the virus were not discussed as much. While there are products that are available in the market for air freshening, there are few commercially available products that focuses on air sanitizing. Those products that are available for sanitation are expensive and causes environmental wastes. This project has both health and economic goals. The health goals are to kill the viruses that have stuck to the surface like walls, tables, chairs, etc. Specifically, its goal is to kill airborne viruses. The economic goals are to underscore the cost savings that this project will provide. The prototype is made of a car kit module, trailer, and spray bottle. It is controlled wirelessly by a remote. Various household chemicals were tested and the spray results into a mist. Twenty participants evaluated the prototype. With an overall mean of 4.52 and descriptive rating of “Excellent” or “Highly Acceptable.” This signifies that the prototype is useful in disinfecting the airborne viruses.
