Project Title: Helping People to Do Home Hard Surface Cleaning in a More Efficient and Sustainable Way
Product Name: SWHIRL
Topic/Problem Description:
I chose home hard surface cleaning as my thesis topic. People need to clean different hard surfaces almost everyday, including tables, desktops, stove-stops, etc. Home hard surface cleaning is a common affair that everyone needs to do. However, the existing supplies cannot support people to do it well and those materials of related products are not environment-friendly. Based on the complex process that people usually have to clean hard surfaces at home, I want to find the opportunity to create a sustainable and effective way for people to have a better experience doing home hard surface cleaning.
Solution:
Based on profound research about existing countertop cleaning products and gathering data of people’s various hand motions while wiping the surface, I decided to focus on those people who do hard surface cleaning and sanitize countertops anywhere especially in COVID19 period. Therefore, I created a sustainable hard surface cleaning product called ‘SWHIRL’, which has a double-layered gear system with the vacuum function that users with different hand motions can have a better experience to wipe and vacuum the surface better by using this product.
