Revolutionizing Home Cleaning: The Wipe'n Vacuum

Yasemin Ulukan's Innovative Design Combines Multiple Cleaning Stages into One

The inspiration behind the Wipe'n Vacuum comes from the limitations of existing floor cleaning methods. Traditional cleaning requires multiple steps - vacuuming, wiping, and drying - each with its own set of problems. Vacuum cleaners only remove visible particles, while mopping merely displaces dust and leaves the floor wet. The Wipe'n Vacuum eliminates these issues by combining all cleaning stages into one product, powered by air instead of electricity, thereby eliminating any safety concerns related to electrical hazards.

What sets the Wipe'n Vacuum apart from other cleaning devices is its unique design features. The air required to power the rotating brush is provided through a clean medium, ensuring that the absorbed polluted air does not pass through the air engine. This not only extends the product's lifespan but also prevents the suction from decreasing over time. Moreover, all parts that dirt and dust pass through are designed to be removable, making the Wipe'n Vacuum practical and easy to use and clean.

Another distinctive feature of the Wipe'n Vacuum is its use of a telescopic plastic pipe, which eliminates the corrosion and hygiene problems associated with the telescopic metal pipes used in most vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, the clean water hose is designed to pass through the air suction hose, preventing issues related to pipe breakage, wearing, or bending. The suction duct cylinder, hose, pipe, and bucket-shaped reservoir can be entirely removed and washed, providing an extended product life.

The Wipe'n Vacuum also stands out for its eco-friendly design. All plastic materials used in the product are marked with the type of material for easy recycling. The device also uses water efficiently in each cleaning stage, consuming less water compared to conventional methods and eliminating the use of consumables like mops. With a 1.5-litre capacity water reservoir, the Wipe'n Vacuum can clean an entire house with just 25 minutes of continuous water use.

The Wipe'n Vacuum's innovative design and functionality have not gone unnoticed in the design world. In 2013, it was awarded the Golden A' Home Appliances Design Award, a prestigious accolade granted to outstanding and trendsetting creations that advance art, science, design, and technology. This award is a testament to Yasemin Ulukan's ingenuity and the potential of the Wipe'n Vacuum to revolutionize home cleaning.

The Wipe'n Vacuum is more than just a cleaning device; it's a testament to the power of innovative design in improving everyday life. As it prepares to hit the market, it promises to offer users a new, efficient, and eco-friendly way to keep their homes clean. With its unique features and award-winning design, the Wipe'n Vacuum is set to redefine home cleaning.
