RESEARCH
Natural Chemistry: Studies show that baking soda and vinegar are powerful, safe agents for removing bacteria and pesticides.
The “Dirty Dozen”: Research began with fruits and vegetables most commonly exposed to pesticide residues, such as strawberriries, spinach, grapes, and apples.
Trade-Offs
The original concept envisioned a floating pod that cleaned produce directly in a sink filled with water using a dissolving pod and gentle motion. However, this approach came with several trade-offs that affected control, efficiency, and user experience.
Trade-Off 1
The floating pod was visually interesting but felt like a gadget. Shifting to an appliance form made it fit naturally into daily kitchen habits, blending with familiar products like dishwashers, blenders, and etc.
Trade-Off 2
The first concept required filling the entire sink with water, functional but inefficient and difficult to control.
Trade-Off 3
An open sink offers flexibility but can lead to uncertainty. You might not be able to see when the cleaning cycle is complete. The countertop design guides users with a clear structure and visual feedback.
