FanMaid keeps your ceiling fan from spreading its dust in the wind

Ceiling fans are one of the greatest ways to enhance the heating or cooling system in one’s home. Unfortunately, they are also dust magnets, and cleaning the blades is an absolute pain. FanMaid offers a tool for cleaning ceiling fans that clears the dust off of the top, bottom and even the edges, keeping it from falling all over.

The paint roller-looking gadget has a tensioning hinge that allows for an easy back and forth cleaning motion without having to get on a step ladder. The rollers are replaceable through FanMaid.

One thing that sets this product apart from something like Swiffer Dusters is the dual roller system. This feature seems like it would make FanMaid easier to use and possibly more effective for cleaning ceiling fans. Interested backers might also like to check out Multi-Surface Cleaning Robot and Power Tower. This campaign seeks to raise $50,000 in funding. For $10, backers get one refill pack of FanMaid with an expected delivery in August.

Shower Shimmy makes cleaning less irritating both for mind and body

Cleaning the shower is one of those tasks that ranks right up there with washing the dishes by hand.  So Shower Shimmy was created to not only make that mundane task easier, but also diminish the awful fumes that often come with using cleaning supplies.

At the push of a button, the built-in dispenser releases cleaning solution to the sponge and the user can then wipe soap scum, grime, and hard water deposits off of the shower walls and floor. But this cleaning solution doesn’t irritate the user’s eyes, skin or respiratory system, so ventilation and rubber gloves aren’t necessary.

It’s questionable if such a solution would truly be effective, but the video claims that testing was done to compare Shower Shimmy’s solution and the leading cleaning solution in the US and Canada, and the Shower Shimmy claims that its cleaning solution scored equally well. Plus, it’s still as safe as soap or shampoo around small children. As for where to store the scrubber, it easily hangs on the shower wall. This campaign seeks to raise $5,000 by February 17, 2015. Backers get one product for $23 with an expected delivery of April 2015.

QuickRinse gives showers the power wash they crave

Cleaning the shower is one of the more dreaded household chores. But what if one had a cleaning business? That was the very thing that inspired two savvy business women to create QuickRinse. Cleaning a dirty shower looks like a whole lot less hassle because of QuickRinse’s funnel-shaped bag that is designed to fit over most shower heads. It’s made of a durable 10 ounce vinyl material and is ultrasonically welded around the seams and hose adapter. It also has an extra long, double-sided Velcro strap and rubber hose to prevent kinking and bend memory. While it may still be necessary to do some scrubbing, rinsing does appear to make the job easier. Backers may also be interested to know that this particular campaign helps women trapped in a domestic violence situation to gain their freedom because part of the proceeds will go toward The Boise Women’s and Children’s Alliance (WCA). This campaign seeks to raise $25,000 by November 1. For $50, backers get one product with an expected delivery of December 2014.
