Spot-Not: The Ultimate Glassware Dryer and Polisher

A Unique Kitchen Device for Drying and Polishing Glassware

Spot-Not was created out of necessity. Even though every household has some kind of glassware, there is not a single tool that will allow drying the insides of it.

What sets Spot-Not apart is its ability to dry the insides of different-shaped stemware. Its flexible fingers, with strategically placed cuts at the tips, allow the dryer to change shape and adapt to any glass. Whether it's a round wine glass or a narrow champagne flute, Spot-Not reaches every corner, leaving no spot untouched.

Spot-Not's removable and reusable sleeve is the secret to its impeccable drying and polishing performance. The sleeve absorbs water and polishes the glass, leaving it sparkling clean without any spots or lint. Say goodbye to tedious hand-drying and hello to the effortless convenience of Spot-Not.

With a length of 250mm and a width and depth of 45mm (without the sleeve) or 50mm (with the sleeve), Spot-Not is designed to fit perfectly in your kitchen drawer or countertop. Its compact size and efficient functionality make it a must-have for any glassware enthusiast.

The journey of creating Spot-Not was not without its challenges. Julia Weber and Jan Schmitt had to start from scratch, creating a product that didn't exist before. The main obstacle was developing a dryer that could adjust its shape to fit different glasses. Through extensive research and experimentation, they designed flexible fingers with cuts at the tips, allowing the dryer to adapt to various glass shapes.

Spot-Not made its debut at the Chicago Housewares Show in March 2013, captivating audiences with its innovative design and practicality. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category in 2014. This prestigious accolade recognizes Spot-Not's outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and contribution to improving the quality of life.

Spot-Not is not just a cleaning tool; it's a lifestyle accessory that elevates the way we care for our glassware. With its unique design and functionality, it ensures that every glass is spotless, inside and out. Say goodbye to water spots and hello to the brilliance of Spot-Not.
