Kid-Friendly Hand Scrubbers

These Brushes Help Children Keep Their Hands Clean

— March 14, 2016 — Life-Stages
Kelly Stuart recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for a line of kid-friendly hand scrubbers. While hand washing is an effective way to prevent the spread of illness, many children do not wash their hands well enough to remove all of the harmful germs. Now there is a line of fun and colorful bathroom accessories that ensure cleaner hands.

Scrub Bugs are contoured hand scrubbers that are inspired by the sponge and bristle brushes used by surgeons. Unlike an ordinary sponge, Scrub Bugs have a unique hand-washing surface that lathers and creates targeted friction to remove germs. The soft bristles even help to remove germs from hard-to-reach areas such as under nails, between fingers and in the groove of hands. Overall, Scrub Bugs can help to clean hands three times better than ordinary washing.

Scrub Bugs not only help to keep children clean, but the clever bathroom accessory also helps to prevent the spread of diseases that can be harmful to people of all ages.
Trend Themes
1. Kid-friendly Hand Scrubbers - Innovative scrubbers that make hand washing fun and effective for children, promoting better hygiene habits.
2. Colorful Bathroom Accessories - The creation of fun and colorful bathroom accessories that motivate children to wash their hands thoroughly, improving hand hygiene.
3. Targeted Friction Technology - The implementation of unique hand-washing surfaces and soft bristles that provide targeted friction to effectively remove germs and promote better hand cleanliness.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can capitalize on kid-friendly hand scrubbers to improve hand hygiene practices among young patients, reducing the spread of infections in hospitals and clinics.
2. Education - Educational institutions can incorporate the use of kid-friendly hand scrubbers in their hygiene education programs, teaching children the importance of proper hand washing from an early age.
3. Consumer Goods - With the rising demand for innovative and effective hygiene products, the consumer goods industry can develop and market kid-friendly hand scrubbers as a must-have item for families with young children.
