What's the problem?

Let’s face it – almost everyone hates washing dishes. This task is among the least desirable chores, especially after days of plates, bowls, cups, and silverware all piling up. Without the luxury of owning a dishwasher, everything needs to be done by hand, which is a tedious and, at times, disgusting task. The prune feeling you get in your fingers and hands after having them under water for so long is not comfortable. Even worse is the feeling of touching old, wet food. Normal sponges, steel wool pads, and scouring pads help, but they can be hard or awkward to grip.

Key Improvements

The Helping Hand is here to change all of that. Unlike normal cleaning gloves that only prevent your hands from getting wet, the Helping Hand has Velcro on the palm and running up the fingers which allow you to attach sponge, steel wool pads, or scouring pads right to it. Not only does this prevent your hands from getting wet and touching wet food, it maximizes scrubbing area and negates that feeling of awkwardly gripping a separate sponge. By including another glove in the package, both hands can stay completely dry. There is no other product like this on the market!

Versatility

This product is not only limited to dish-washing. While that will be the main purpose and main way it is marketed and advertised, it can be used for so much more! The glove will be useful to wash cars, household objects, appliances, showers, mirrors, and more, all the with same comfort and ease as when washing dishes. Furthermore, this product has the potential to enter the car dealership, car wash, and restaurant markets as well, all due to its versatility. The Helping Hand is the perfect washing accessory. Cleaning has never been easier!

Is there a suitable market?

The potential market for this product is huge! It is pretty rare to find a college or university that offers dishwashers in on-campus dorms and housing. College students like myself hate washing dishes, and this would be the perfect accessory to make that task easier. With its relatively inexpensive price, it would be the perfect thing for parent's to buy before their children move in or as a stocking-stuffer on Christmas. Moreover, almost half the homes in the United States either do not have a dishwasher or do not use theirs on a regular basis!
