Hate germs? Well, if you’re the type that approaches every door handle with a handkerchiefand a prayer, there’s one less door you need to be afraid of. There will be if this self-cleaning door handle concept becomes real anyway.

It continuously sterilizes itself with UV light, only stopping when you actually use it. A switch in the handle’s frame is what toggles the sanitizing illumination on and off. This design has even won a Red Dot award. Pretty clever if you ask us.
