Introduction
YI
Problem
• Having to change between different cleaning materials while cleaning windows, dusty furniture and other surfaces
• For example: wetting and then drying the window- will require a wet cloth then a dry cloth
YI
Solving the Problem
• 2 cleaning materials can be used simultaneously, one after another- no need to manually switch cleaning materials
• Easily customizable modular system for all kinds of combinations
YI
How It Works(3D-Printed Prototype)
YI
General Concept: 2 cleaning materials wipes the surface one immediately after another
Thus eliminates the need to switch between different cleaning materials
YI
In this example of a combination used to clean ceramic walls, a dry Magiclean sheet will wipe off the dust before the wet sponge immediately cleans it with water.
YI
Cleaning Materials
• Absorbent PVA Sponge (for wetting)• Cotton Microfiber (for drying)• Dry Magiclean sheets (picking up
dust)• Wet Magiclean sheets (sanitizing)
YI
Modular System
• An easy-to-use function allowing the user to CUSTOMIZE the combination of cleaning materials they would like to use
• Hence suit many purposes (windows, floor, furniture…)
MK
• 1: -Microfiber, and dry and wet Magiclean, can be attached to any of the 2 T-pieces.
MK
• Example:
MK
• 2: The T-pieces are then clamped onto the device’s each side via an easy-to-use Velcro system

MK
• Extended clamp is used to clamp PVA sponge (no T-piece required)
