Kevin Morley and business partner Dean Eggers are busy trying to promote and raise capital for their invention, the Dish Trapper reports The Las Vegas Business Press.
The device is a stretchable nylon net that can be attached to a dishwasher rack to keep plastic containers in place, thus preventing water from splashing onto the user when the dishes are done.
The idea for the Dish Trapper came up a few years ago and was put on hold as the company developed other products, Eggers said. The timing now seems right for a practical, yet inexpensive, product.
“There are 80 million dishwashers in the United States,” Eggers notes.
“And they (dishes) fill up with crud, and you have to wash them again,” Morley says, finishing the sentence.
Eggers thought such an invention would be useful a long time ago, when he had to deal with his small children putting tiny plastic containers in his dishwasher.
“Years ago, when my kids were young, it happened to me,” he said. “I’d get splashed with dirty dish water.”
