The Design
About Onogreen Fonksyon Prensipal: Bwòs Twalèt
Tèks Liv: Onogreen se yon bwòs twalèt ki fèt pou rete kache anndan sistèm flich la. Yon manch teleskopik pèmèt bwòs la rete kache pou pa parèt, sa ki ekonomize espas epi ki kenbe bwòs la lwen timoun ak bèt kay yo. Yon pwotèj pwoteje men an epi li sèvi kòm yon kouvèti lè bwòs la kache. Bwòs yo mwens epi yo pi byen espase pase nòmal, konsa dlo pa rete ladan yo epi sa evite gout dlo k ap koule. Ou ka ranplase bwòs yo san ou pa oblije chanje tout bwòs la nèt. Materyo ki ka resikle yo itilize, ak yon estrikti fib kabòn ansanm ak bwòs an TPR.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Its discreet design with telescopic handle allows the Onogreen brush to go completely unnoticed by keeping it into the flush system. Unique in the market, this innovation creates cleaner, safer bathrooms by eliminating germs, bad smells and by keeping the brush out of the reach of children and pets. In addition, its integrated design keeps the brush out of sight and frees up space, making the bathroom seem bigger and more spacious.

- Production Technology
- The Onogreen brush is manufactured in high quality recyclable materials with ABS chromed, golden and white gloss finishes. It has a carbon fibre structure with TPR bristles. It has fewer, more separated bristles than traditional brushes, thus preventing water becoming trapped, and so avoids dripping: it only needs a gentle shake before use to achieve this.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was to design an environmentally friendly toilet brush that would stay completely out of sight, but could be compatible with most toilets, solve germ-proliferation and bad-odour issues, not drip, and would make people want to talk about it. The humble toilet brush is often considered an embarrassing topic. I wanted to design an original toilet brush that people would have no qualms about recommending to others, if not with pride, at least without blushing.
- Research
- A market survey was carried out. The findings confirmed our target audience and revealed suspected misgivings about the decision to purchase an integrated toilet brush, including possible issues such as dripping, return of organic matter back to the tank or installation. We focused on designing a toilet brush according to this feedback from a sustainable point of view, and on presenting an original product that people can talk about without feeling it is an uncomfortable topic.
- Inspiration
- The health risks of toilet brushes became clear during Covid. Bad bathroom smells were produced by germs proliferating on brush and holder. It was also apparent that most people tried to keep their toilet brushes hidden from sight. The Onogreen brush prevents the spread of germs and virus and avoids unwanted contagion in homes, hospitals, nursing homes, public toilets, restaurants and offices. By staying out of sight, the brush also inspires greater confidence in bathroom hygiene.
- Project Duration
- This project started in January 2020 during the COVID pandemic in Cangas de Onis, Asturias, Spain. It took 18 months and it will be on the market from December 2022
- Operation Flow
- The Onogreen brush allows the WC to be cleaned easily and without mess. Its shield protects your hand and acts as a lid when concealed in the flush system. Strong and robust, it withstands energetic action when needed. Compatible with disinfecting toilet tablets, it keeps them in the cistern until fully dissolved, thus avoiding blocking the flush mechanism. After the wear and tear of use, the bristles can be replaced, without having to replace the whole brush.
