THE STORY BEHIND
My invention was born out of necessity. A clogged shower drain changed my whole life. The products on the market couldn't solve my problem properly, nor could they convince me as a housewife. I believed that had to work better.
The search for a simple and functional solution gave me the idea of the spiral-shaped corkscrew wooden rod.
I applied for the patent and launched TwistOut in April 2017 on the market.
Since then, over 3 million TwistOut drain rods have been produced. They are currently available in 6 countries and in over 4000 shops in Europe.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity everywhere.
