Introduction

YI

Problem

• Having to change between different cleaning materials while cleaning windows, dusty furniture and other surfaces

• For example: wetting and then drying the window- will require a wet cloth then a dry cloth

YI

Solving the Problem

• 2 cleaning materials can be used simultaneously, one after another- no need to manually switch cleaning materials

• Easily customizable modular system for all kinds of combinations

YI

How It Works(3D-Printed Prototype)

YI

General Concept: 2 cleaning materials wipes the surface one immediately after another

Thus eliminates the need to switch between different cleaning materials

YI

In this example of a combination used to clean ceramic walls, a dry Magiclean sheet will wipe off the dust before the wet sponge immediately cleans it with water.

YI

Cleaning Materials

• Absorbent PVA Sponge (for wetting)• Cotton Microfiber (for drying)• Dry Magiclean sheets (picking up

dust)• Wet Magiclean sheets (sanitizing)

YI

Modular System

• An easy-to-use function allowing the user to CUSTOMIZE the combination of cleaning materials they would like to use

• Hence suit many purposes (windows, floor, furniture…)

MK

• 1: -Microfiber, and dry and wet Magiclean, can be attached to any of the 2 T-pieces.

MK

• Example:

MK

• 2: The T-pieces are then clamped onto the device’s each side via an easy-to-use Velcro system

• Extended clamp is used to clamp PVA sponge (no T-piece required)
