“My simple shower cleaning invention brings in over $1 million a year!”
“With a large family and four dogs, my showers are in frequent need of a good cleaning! A couple of years ago, while filling a bucket over and over to clean my shower, I thought there had to be a way to make shower and tub cleaning and rinsing easier. I started researching how to get a patent, develop and source a product, create a working prototype and find a manufacturer. One of my best friends is a patent attorney, and she really encouraged me to pursue my idea.
“I found an engineer who was able to help me develop the Rinseroo—it’s basically a connector made of thermoplastic that slips on showerheads and faucets to make cleaning and rinsing easy. The lightweight hose is super stretchy so it can reach every corner of the shower. My engineer connected me to my manufacturer, and in 2019, we officially launched the Rinseroo on Rinseroo.com and Amazon after four years of development.
“What started as a side business is now my full-time job. Today, the Rinseroo sells for $25 and is a topselling product on Amazon; it made over $1 million in sales in its first year! Even better, I was able to hire my son as my e-commerce manager handling logistics and shipping, while I do the sales and marketing. I love having him by my side every day. I’ve been continually surprised by how many ways the Rinseroo is being put to use. Beyond cleaning the shower, customers use it to bathe pets and babies, fill portable washing machines and fill fish tanks. It’s amazing to hear how much the Rinseroo is helping people!”
