Stomp ‘N Go receives INDA’s Vision Award
The Stomp ‘N Go Stain Lifting Pad from Bissell Homecare was named the recipient of the 2012 Visionary Award, presented at the Vision 2012 Consumer Products Conference in New Orleans, USA. The award is given to a new consumer product that utilizes nonwoven fabrics in its final form.
Designed to make cleaning carpet stains easy and simple, The Stomp ‘N Go was selected over three other finalists by the attendees at the eleventh edition of the Vision Conference, held from January 23-26 and organised by INDA, the US-based Association of the Nonwovens Fabrics Industry.
The four finalists made presentations during Vision 2012 and conference attendees voted for the recipient of the 2012 Visionary Award.
Stomp 'N Go is described as a stain-lifting pad that removes carpet stains with a single “stomp”. The user places one of the pre-moistened pads onto the spot, stomps on it and the stain starts to absorb into the pad. The pads use an oxy-based formula to lift and remove most spots and stains within 30 minutes.
“Stomp ‘N Go is truly an original product that showcases some unique applications for nonwoven fabrics in its finished form, which is the prerequisite for receiving the Visionary Award,” says Rory Holmes, president of INDA. “There were four outstanding products representing many aspects of consumer products and they were all winners by being selected as finalists in the 2012 competition.”
The three finalists were:
• BandZorb Disposable Headwear Liners, from BandZorb LLC. The patent pending BandZorb Headwear Liners are self-adhesive, antimicrobial, absorbent, eco-friendly disposable bands that are sold in two sizes to fit virtually all visors, caps, hats, and helmets.
• IntelliDent Toothbrush Holder, from E4 Technologies. IntelliDent is made from an SMS nonwoven that is slit and ultrasonically welded to form a pocket for a toothbrush. Each breathable, quick drying IntelliDent shield blocks surface and airborne microbes as it wicks moisture away from brush bristles, designed to create a cleaner, healthier environment for the toothbrush.
• O’Cedar ProMist Disposable Floor Cleaning Pad, from Tietex International. This nonwoven composite incorporates airlaid nonwoven, spunbond nonwoven and film roll goods stitchbonded using microfiber and “scrubby” yarns. The two yarns are bonded in such a fashion that loops are created on the “A” surface and the combination of microfibre and scrubby loops provide exceptional floor cleaning performance.
The 2013 Vision Consumer Products will be held in Orlando, Florida from January 29-31, 2013.
