Problems solved by technology

Disposable products are also a more sanitary alternative to the use of a sponge, washcloth, or other implement intended for extensive reuse, because such implements can develop bacterial growth, unpleasant odors, and other undesirable characteristics related to repeated use.

However, while disposable articles, which can be easily used by young children, are desirable they have their own problems.

Retention in the hand of a user of such disposable articles, especially during vigorous scrubbing, is one such problem.

It is this uniqueness of each individual child that presents a major challenge for both the child and the caregiver.

If any of these aspects are unsuccessful, the child's progress in learning how to bathe or clean properly can be unnecessarily delayed due to numerous failures and frustrations.

However, these reusable products still suffer from the problems associated with repeated use, i.e., bacterial growth, unpleasant odors, and other undesirable characteristics related to extensive reuse.

One the other hand, while disposable products side step this problem of extensive reuse, no effort has been made to make disposable products more appealing to children.

The problem remains that there is no disposable cleaning articles, products or system available for children of all ages and sizes, which can be easily handled and the method of utilizing easily understood, by the child.
