Shower cleaner has built-in remote spray trigger

New Zealand company debuts a once-a-week shower cleaner with a trigger sprayer ‘holstered’ in the bottle body and a snap-in connector that eliminates cap removal.

From New Zealand company Wet & Forget Ltd., a new, once-a-week shower cleaner promises “no scrubbing or wiping,” and a “soft vanilla essence” fragrance, delivered in an ergonomic bottle with an integrated remote trigger sprayer. Wet & Forget Shower, introduced in the U.S. in early 2013, uses no harsh chemicals and, according to Wet & Forget global production plant manager Paul Trendall, provides three months of cleaning power in a 64-oz bottle versus the eight 32-oz bottles of daily shower cleaner required for the same 12 weeks of cleaning.

In preparation for its U.S. launch, Wet & Forget worked with Berlin Packaging’s Studio One Eleven to create a more user-friendly packaging solution than the one used in its home country. The existing packaging was a stock, 2-L detergent-style bottle sold with an attached bag holding a remote trigger sprayer and an injection-molded storage holster that had to be installed after purchase.

Berlin’s solution was a white high-density polyethylene bottle custom-designed around the Mixor® HP Remote trigger sprayer from MeadWestvaco. The component is designed to nest in any opening in a bottle body, removing the need to hang the trigger externally with a secondary mounting component.

Explains Trendall, “The remote trigger sprayer and snap-adapt connector are built into the bottle, with a companion snap-adapt closure [also from MeadWestvaco]. The first time the consumer uses the product, they simply snap the connector directly into a hole built into the closure and securely covered during shipment, eliminating the need to unscrew the cap and replace it with a new closure assembly.”
