Electrolux Germs Scour Your Home and Clean Its Surfaces Sustainably

This concept for Electrolux Germs attempts to accomplish two goals within the domain of domestic sanitation. Firstly, the system proposes an eco-friendly means of operation; secondly, the idea is to not completely sterilize the home, for there is great value to keeping some bacteria alive.

To use Joris Bonnesoeur's invention, you would fill the tray of the square-shaped base with filtered water from the shower in your own bathroom. This resourceful proposal makes it unnecessary to waste fresh water from the tap. The liquid is passed into the little robotic minions, enabling them to offer steam-cleaning capabilities. Their bristled bottoms do the scrubbing on floors, walls and windows, thanks to concealed suction cups. The autonomous Electrolux Germs system maintains communication so to efficiently cover every square inch of the room.
