Overview
We think its time to shake up the broom industry, similar to when they added a foot-pedal on a trash can. "Sweep & Stand" incorporates a unique self-standing functionality into the broom, giving you the ability to stand your broom anywhere, truly allowing the user to multi-task with ease.

 

  ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Regular cleaning brooms suffer from some combination of four unforgivable qualities....

#1 - They are good at falling over when leaning your broom.

#2 - They are good at making wall scuffs & crashing to the floor.

#3 - They are a safety hazard - trips, slips and falls.

#4 - Bending over to fetch a fallen broom, not always easy, specially for the elderly.

   

 

Introducing SWEEP & STAND: The first cleaning broom to squash all four unforgivable qualities with absolute authority. Here's what it does...it STANDS!  The 1st Self-Standing Broom, with simple to use design.

        Backstory & Timeline

Sweep & Stand came to life one day after a conversation with my Niece the Nurse telling me a story of her day at the hospital and how simple trivial things like sweeping the floor left her elderly patient with a broken hip after tripping over a misplaced broom. 

After hearing this story, an idea sparked in my head unexpectedly and by using a simple winged corkscrew, curtain rod and old broom, I was able to make a working prototype in a few days.  It was a crude prototype but Macgyver may have approved. 

A Long Story Short...

Sweep & Stand idea was conjured in Feb 2014 and after spending an entire year with 3D Printers, I was able to submit my patent and worked with an injection molder expert to bring this to life, now I just need funding for the molds to mass produce.

 

        Meet the Inventor

My background, my name is R K Sirpal from Toronto, Canada.   I studied Computer Mathematics & Industrial Design in Ottawa, Canada at Carleton University.  I bootstrapped my company HumanHaus Inc in 2016 and continue to dream up ideas I love and would like to share with others.

I would love to bring this product to life for the masses & I'm thrilled you stopped by to check us out!!!

 

 

        Risks & Challenges

At HumanHaus, we gladly accept the challenge of making a traditional consumer product and making it better. Just because a product has been around for ages doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. We took something as simple as a broom and found a way to make it better. Sweep & Stand fits into your day-to-day life with more functionality than a traditional broom.

We’ve spent many months nailing down details such as manufacturing and shipping logistics, so if there is a bump in the road along the way, we’ll still be well equipped to move through the challenge and still get you your Sweep&Stand on time!
