Company's description: Liquid soap production

Executive Summary

Sparkles will be designed to provide Hotels, Restaurants and schools with a quick, easy, and affordable method to effectively clean their dishes, cutleries and environment properly. Proper washing liquid/powdered soap is the most effective preventative measure available to combat communicable diseases, transmitted through poor hygiene.

Improper washing of cutleries and dishes due to the unavailability of proper washing materials have contributed to more than 130,000 deaths in Africa only. Each year through the transfer of communicable diseases in restaurants, day cares and hospitals (more than AIDS and breast cancer combined). Studies have shown that proper dish washing procedures in these environments could cut down the spread of disease by up to 75%. The greatest contributing factor to this problem stems from the inability of supervisors to monitor and control employee dish/cutlery washing. Existing products offer no effective or affordable solutions for enforcing and ensuring washing compliance. Treatment of preventable diseases costs Africans over $1 Billion in direct costs each year.
