Entrepreneur Finds Mother is the Inspiration for Invention

OLNEY, Md. - July 27, 2015 - PRLog -- First time inventor and entrepreneur Jay Feinberg invented a new product called the Scrigit Scraper, a small cleaning tool similar in shape to a pen that safely removes small amounts of unwanted substances, such as dried food, dirt and adhesive labels, from household and automotive surfaces, corners, edges and grooves.

After more than 30 years working in marketing management for other companies, Feinberg decided he wanted to do something different. He developed a product idea he had in mind for many years and created his own company.

The old saying goes, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” For Feinberg, he found that his mother was the inspiration for invention. “My mother always had long sturdy fingernails that she used as very effective mini-scrapers to clean up around the house, and of course were always readily available,” said Feinberg. “Most of us do not have such sturdy nails, so I decided to invent a cleaning tool that replicated the shape of the fingernail and could be kept almost as handy.”

The pocket-sized Scrigit Scraper is a safe, easy to use and convenient cleaning tool for small cleaning tasks while providing an alternative to using one’s own fingernails or metal scrapers. Fingernails break easily while metal scrapers can damage surfaces being cleaned.

Jay Feinberg and his wife Cindy Feinberg, a registered pharmacist with more than 30 years of retail experience, created Scrigit, LLC to market the Scrigit Scraper. “People have limited time they want to devote to cleaning, and the Scrigit Scraper makes cleaning jobs faster and easier without damaging the surfaces being cleaned,” said Cindy Feinberg.

The Scrigit Scraper is made of a durable plastic material with a different style scraper at each end. The rounded and angled lower tip is intended to replicate the shape of a fingernail. The rounded shape helps break through thicker buildups, cleaning curved surfaces and removing adhesive labels and stickers without damaging the surfaces being cleaned. The flat-edged scraper at the top works well on flat surfaces and getting into narrow spaces, such as metal shower door tracks and grooves in automobiles and motorcycles.

“I designed the scraper to be about the same size as a pen,” said Jay Feinberg, “so that the tool can be kept handy where it is likely to be used and grabbed quickly when needed.”

Just as pens and pencils are kept in many locations for quick access, the cleaning tool can be kept handy in kitchens, bathrooms, offices, workshops, cars, pockets and purses.

The Scrigit Scraper is produced in the United States and sold in 2-packs and 5-packs on Amazon.com and Scrigit-Scraper.com (www.scrigit-scraper.com/shop/) where all orders are processed and fulfilled by Amazon.

Scrigit Scrapers are also available from a growing number of locally owned hardware stores and garden centers. Request a list of retailers from info@scrigit.com.

“We’re excited to bring a new cleaning tool to the market to make the cleaning process easier for consumers,” said Cindy Feinberg, “and the tool is also great for arts and crafts.”
