Purifying Pasta

The Spaghetti Scrub is a Natural Cleaner Made From Corn Cobs and Peach Pits

— January 10, 2010 — Eco
Environmentally friendly cleaning products are all the rage since eco-consciousness went mainstream. The Spaghetti Scrub is good for the environment and made from normal ingredients. Namely, the sources for the Spaghetti Scrub are corn cobs and peach pits.

Each Spaghetti Scrub looks like a little mound of pasta. It probably wouldn't be a great idea to eat it, though. Just use it to clean off the plates you ate from.

Implications - This spectacular scrubber will leave your dishes dazzling, and will exfoliate your hands as you wash too. Better yet, since the ingredients are all natural, once the product breaks down it can safely enter the water system.

1. Eco-friendly Cleaning - The trend of eco-friendly cleaning products offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing natural and sustainable cleaning solutions.
2. Alternative Ingredients - Using unconventional ingredients like corn cobs and peach pits in cleaning products presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the development of unique and effective household items.
3. Multi-functional Products - The rise of multi-functional products, such as the Spaghetti Scrub that not only cleans dishes but also exfoliates hands, creates a space for disruptive innovations that offer added value and convenience.
