Abstract

Abstract: This article presents a design scheme for a scrubber pertaining to the classes of cleaning devices for washing household utensils. The power scrubber is wall-mounted preferably near a kitchen sink and can be operated with a foot pedal for hand-free operation. The scrubbing device comes with various attachments, which could be used alternatively based on the dishwashing needs. It has been estimated that an average household utilizes almost 50 individual pieces of utensils to cook and serve food items, washing them requires huge amounts of water and is somewhat labour intensive due to the scrubbing action that is necessary to clean utensils. Though there are dishwashing machines available in the market, they are quite bulky and expensive for the common household in India, moreover they consume a lot of power and is not suited for washing single utensils and even has restrictions on the types of utensils to be washed. It has been realized by us that the utensil scrubbing is the most important task in the process. The power scrubber is a wall-mounted scrubber and is also capable of dispensing soap and in-turn reduce water usage.
