CJD Innovations LLC is approaching commercialization of its Wet Wipe Wizard, an automatic dispenser of wet wipes with the push of a button. The Dayton, OH-based company will be promoting the Wet Wipe Wizard at the WOW conference this week.
The Wet Wipe Wizard has three forms—a battery-powered tabletop and hanging versions are intended for basic commercial and personal uses while the mounted and hard-wired disinfecting version would be utilized in health care spaces.
Prototypes were completed in April and shown for the first time at the University of Dayton Flyer Pitch Competition. Commercialization of the commercial products is estimated for 2024 with the health care product to follow in 2025.
Upon commercialization, the Wet Wipe Wizard dispenser is estimated to cost $50 with $5 fully recyclable cartridges, holding 50 wipes, which amounts to 12 cents a sheet. Comparatively, the market currently offers wipe options between six and 18 cents a sheet.
CEO and founder Chris Danis anticipates the product being used in a variety of spaces including hospitals, casinos, child care centers, schools, assisted living communities, hotels, offices and homes.
