Dad vs Germs, Hand-to-Hand Combat.

Oct. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- How many tries will it take this time?  When you send your kids off to wash their hands, does it take two, three, or more tries before they’re actually clean? We know clean hands are vital to health, but how do you get youngsters to understand?  You don’t…
“How do you make them want to wash?”, pondered entrepreneur and father of two Mike Reiter after scolding his children for their third  half-hearted handwashing attempt.  Friends, neighbors, and their elementary school teachers confirmed that all kids ‘splish, splash, and dash’.  Are there products that solve this important public health issue? Sadly, no. “Soap pumps that play music or squirt colored soap are cute, but playing with a soap pump isn’t fun regardless of what gimmicks you add!” concluded Reiter.
Two years and dozens of prototypes later Soapy Solutions LLC is ready to make handwashing fun with its revolutionary handwashing toy, Bub’BLOOP!  Among  their first customers is an Indiana health department charged with improving the health of low-income children.  Likewise, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) maintains a vigorous campaign to get the word out about the importance of handwashing:
“Proper handwashing is the #1 way to prevent the spread of disease.”  
How does it work? Simple.  Designed for children ages 3 to 8 it cleans hands automatically, just by playing with it.  After wetting, the toy is pressed (eyeball-first) into the cockpit of a UFO shaped soap dispenser. When the alien Bub’BLOOP! is squeezed a large soap bubble is automatically formed. The more it’s squeezed the bigger the bubble gets! All the while, the patent pending design creates suds that cascade onto the hands. The soft rubbery skin of the toy scrubs with each squeeze, until the hands and toy are rinsed under normal tap water.  Children love it because it’s cute and fun! Parents love it because it works, is less mess, dishwasher safe, and costs under $10.00! It can still be purchased in time for the holidays at www.BubBLOOP.com
“With cold and flu season upon us, and budgets straining, Bub’BLOOP!  is a great holiday gift!”
Soapy Solutions LLC is a Delaware corporation founded in 2008 with the goal of improving children’s health through better handwashing. The founders were inspired by their children, and in part by the huge number of preventable deaths attributed by the World Health Organization to poor hand hygiene. Their introductory line will be followed closely by a variety of other handwashing toys.  For more information, visit www.SoapySolutions.com or contact Mike Reiter at (858) 699-3891.
