Pet Paw Cleaner
This product was created to address the inconvenience pet owners face when cleaning their animals' paws after walks. It was designed to be comfortable for pets, convenient for users, and easy to clean—positioned as a sustainable alternative to single-use wipes or towels.
The cleaner features a cylindrical body with a flexible, soft-entry lid and an internal sponge system wrapped in microfiber. A twist-lock cap and an anti-slip base ensure mess-free cleaning. The product was prototyped in CAD with exploded views for clear manufacturing communication and ergonomic testing.
Special attention was given to the ergonomic design, making the cleaning process smooth and comfortable for both pets and owners. The modular design allows for easy disassembly and cleaning of all components.
Materials & Finishes
The outer body uses BPA-free polypropylene, and the cap is made of TPE for softness and flexibility. The microfiber towel offers high absorbency, while silicone components help prevent slipping and leakage. The finish includes a subtle texture for grip and durability under wet conditions.
