Does anyone enjoy using a toilet brush? It’s a messy and unpleasant experience… and the sight of a used one sat next to the toilet can stay in your memory, for all the wrong reasons. It’s time for an alternative to the filthy toilet brush!
The shiffter is a handheld jet wash for the toilet, which means it is cleaner to use than a regular or even a hygienic toilet brush – because there’s no brush.
It’s a specially designed, patented, toilet brush alternative, which you fill with water and leave next to your toilet. After you’ve… how can we put this… got up from your seat, flushed and realised that the toilet bowl is still a little messy, instead of grabbing a toilet brush and chemicals, or flushing repeatedly, you simply point the shiffter at the toilet bowl and give it a squeeze. This releases a controllable jet of water to wash the toilet clean. It’s a simple idea but it works – and let’s face it – many of the best ideas are simple!
Nope – there’s more to it. It has two valves – a water and an air valve – which make it easy to use, drip free and much more effective than just a squeezy bottle. You can learn more about how it works… but before you do that, scroll down a little and watch a demo of the shiffter doing its stuff, to see why it’s a genuine toilet brush alternative.
And the environmental benefits are huge! Check out how it could deliver the most eco-friendly toilet cleaning possible.
It’s not easy to show the shiffter in a real world situation, as it may turn your stomach (excuse the irony) – so you’ll probably be quite relieved that the demo video below shows the shiffter’s effectiveness using chocolate spread instead – and chocolate spread is really tough to shifft. It certainly shows how it will do the job!
UPDATE – we’ve changed the valve at the squirty end and it cleans over five-times quicker than in this demo. Updated video coming soon.
We’re currently raising finance to go into production, so you can’t buy one just yet. We’ve had loads of positive feedback, so we know there’s a huge demand for a toilet brush alternative. We’d really appreciate your comments on the product and proposed prices so that we can make it a reality. Having just been granted a patent we should be able to get the funding and manufacturing sorted very shortly.
But there’s a further dimension to the shiffter – once in production, a chunk of the profits (10 to 20% and even more once things take off) will go to related causes – and that could be substantial. Check out the good causes page to find our more.
