1. A sanitiser having an external casing, a first portion and a second portion, further comprising:
a plasma generator, for generating a plasma;
a reservoir, for storing gaseous plasma generated by the plasma generator prior to use and having one or more inlets connected to the plasma generator and the reservoir further including a first and a second outlet connected to an environment outside the sanitiser for discharging plasma from the reservoir,
one or more fluid movers, for causing movement of the gaseous plasma,
a controller, for controlling the one or more fluid movers such as to cause storing of plasma and the flow of gaseous plasma from the reservoir out of one or other or both of said outlets;
wherein the sanitiser includes a timer connected to the controller and the controller is operable to cause the fluid movers to cease moving fluid and the reservoir to store plasma for at least a pre-defined time period of the timer; and
wherein after the time period of the timer has elapsed, the controller is operable to cause the fluid movers to move an increased concentration of plasma from the reservoir out of the first outlet, the second outlet, or both the first and second outlets.
