Description

What happens when you can’t take off your “shoes” after a rainy day? Wheelchair users are confronted with this problem every day. Dirt and moisture are carried directly into the living space, while cleaning the tires is usually a cumbersome process using a cloth, which presents a further obstacle due to mobility limitations. glân starts exactly here. The cleaning tool offers a simple and mobile way to clean wheelchair tires quickly and independently. With a simple movement, it can be attached to the wheelchair for the short cleaning process and removed just as easily. It can be easily integrated into everyday life and can be used both at home and on the go. The project was created as part of an inclusive design process. Through continuous exchange and testing with wheelchair users, a solution was developed that is oriented towards real needs and supports cleanliness, autonomy, and well-being.
