The goal of this project is to bring pet owners an all in one product to ease the clean up process of accidents as well as eliminating the need to use multiple cleaning products that contain harmful chemicals to the environment.
I have been in love with my cat ever since he came into my life and purr-ed his way into my heart, however raising him from a kitten to an adult was at times not so much fun since i had to deal with allot of accidents which left smelly stains all over the place.
After using what was available at the local pet stores and not being satisfied with the results and while searching for non-chemical alternatives i ended up creating my own organic naturally derived formula which removed the stains and odors from any surface that my cat had an accident on, whether it was the carpets or the couch or his bedding or my bedding :)
My Project
The product contains a 2 part liquid formula that needs to be mixed together at the time of application and then be added to baking soda that has been sprinkled on the surface of the accident area.
This product has been able to remove accident stains and odors from cats and dogs as well as hamsters and bunnies, it will remove the stain and odor from any pet accident as well as disinfecting the area.
Upon applying the liquid to the surface covered with backing soda the liquids will react with each other as well as with the baking soda and the reactions will pull out the stain as it rises up and dries into the baking soda on top, these reactions also eliminate the pet territory marking and urine odors as well as disinfecting the area.
After the application of liquids to the surface covered in baking soda and once it is fully dried the baking soda can be washed off if the accident happens to be on a pillow or on top of bedding. If the accident is on a carpet or a rug, after the liquids are applied and the baking soda is fully dried it can simply be swept up and discarded or the surface can just be vacuumed. In all cases it will be leaving no stain marks and all odors will be gone and the area will be disinfected.
Upon mixing the liquids together they will start to react with each other releasing oxygen, there for they need to be stored separately until the time of application to avoid build up of air inside the bottles.
At the time of mixing the 2 liquids with baking soda they will start to release small amounts of co2 and an ammonia like scent which is not pleasant to be directly inhaled up close and it is recommended to open windows and have a fan turned on to circulate the air during the application process.
The liquid compounds are obviously NOT SAFE to be consumed. it is advised to wear gloves and to wash hands right after the application and to avoid splashing in the eyes and mouth and to immediately rinse with water in case of accidental splashing into eyes or mouth. The bottles that will be housing the liquids will be child proof however they should still be kept away from children and pets as this product is to be treated with the same safety measures as all other everyday household cleaners.
The liquid compounds used in this product are non-chemical and derived from natural sources as they are fully organic.
The testers batch (500) will be the initial batch and shipping will start by the end of January/2020 and will be fulfilled in March/2020.
The first batch (2000) will follow right after the fulfillment of the testers batch and shipping will start in April/2020 and will be fulfilled June/2020.
The second batch (10000) will follow in the same timing fashion, shipping will start in July/2020 and will be fulfilled by September/2020
The Third batch will be based on demand and will be able to follow in the same timing fashion of 3 months per each batch to go from creation to fulfillment, this batch will begin to ship starting at the end of October 2020 and will be fulfilled December 2020.
I have done my research and due diligence and i am able to create multiple gallons of each of the 2 liquid compounds and based on my current setup they will need a production and packaging time of 7-14 days as well as 14 days time to receive the child-proof bottles that will be housing the liquids, over all in 21-28 days a full batch of up to 20000 units can be ready to ship with the current setup and fulfilled within the 3 month per batch timing schedule. I will be prepared to have production capacities increased to accommodate demand of the product.
I have given my self about 1 month time for creating and packaging each batch and the remaining 2 months of time that has been considered per batch is for the deliveries to be fulfilled which is 3 times longer than the amount of time it should take from shipping until delivery fulfillment, this is in case some international shipments happen to take longer to arrive to their destination or if for any reason i may need extra time due to any unforeseen circumstances.
My challenge will be to time everything right with the supply deliveries to me and timing the shipping of the units to have them be fulfilled on schedule. The other aspects such as the production of the liquid compounds and the bottles which will be housing the liquids have already been researched and tested. My production capacities have been tested as well as the product it self which has been successful as i have tested and used it my self more than 40 times within the last year while my cat grew up from a kitten to an adult and had accidents on any surface imaginable for a cat to have an accident on which i then had to clean :)
