I bet you’re curious. Well, this hack is shockingly easy so give it a shot.

This is one of the most awesome hacks you'll ever see!

They say there’s an app for everything, but is there? Is there really an app for EVERYTHING?

Your guess is as good as mine. There are some things, you just can’t do with an app. But doesn’t mean your smartphone is any less capable or useful. And that certainly didn’t stop one very clever YouTuber from turning his smart phone into a black light!

Black light? Who needs a black light, you say. Well, black lights can actually be very useful for seeing germs that are otherwise invisible to our naked eyes.

For example, just how clean is your room? Or your kitchen? What kind of gross things can be found on your desk at work? Or even on your laptop keyboard? I wonder too.

I bet you’re curious. Well, this hack is shockingly easy so give it a shot. All you need is a blue marker, a purple marker, some cello tape, and obviously, a smartphone with flash.

To turn your phones flash into a black light, follow these easy steps:

And you’re set! Simply take a picture of any surface you’re skeptical about and voila! All the germs are no longer hidden from you! I won’t be surprised if you end up going on a serious, meticulous cleaning spree after this.

Anyway, feel free to thank me later.
