Similar to DampRid, a product that absorbs moisture but that you can stick in various locations like a peel and stick air freshener. Then you can stick it behind the toilet and other hard to reach, damp places

Bleach is the number one way to kill mold spores, and the Clorox Company is a front runner in the bleach department.  But since bleach is not healthy to inhale, especially when used in confined spaces or over extended periods, it would seem like a good idea for Clorox to make a natural, non-hazardous mold killer using vinegar, tea tree oil or peroxide.  Counterintuitive?  No, especially if marketed under the Green Works label.  This healthier alternative to a bleach based product would allow consumers to use the product on hard and soft surfaces and be safe to use around children and pets.  Also, it would not need to be wiped or rinsed. It could be made available in a reusable spray bottle and in larger bottles of concentrated mold killer formula which can be diluted with water by the customer. 

Bathroom ceilings are notorious for forming mildew and mold and the only way to take care of the problem is to stand on a stool or ladder and attack the ceiling with a sponge or rag loaded with mildew/mold cleaner.  Unfortunately, using bleach can be hazardous to breathe, white vinegar smells awful, and both can drip on the user's clothing or, worse, in their eyes.  My suggestion would be to not only create a healthier alternative to removing mildew and mold (see post on Natural Mold Removers) but also make a telescoping cleaning wand with a triangular ratcheting-head, something like the Rubbermaid Extendable Scrubber* which has a pointed end to get into corners.  Pre-loaded disposable mildew/mold cleaning pads, along the lines of a Swiffer pad, could be affixed to the wand, allowing short people, the elderly, or ladder challeneged users to safely clean the ceiling without fearing an accident or getting cleaning solution on their clothing or in their hair and/or eyes.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to import my drawing of the wand so I've included a link to a picture of the Rubbermaid Extendable Scrubber:

Totally off the subject - why not add a simple pencil type line drawing tool to the above toolbar?

In a mad rush to get out of town, I scooped out two cat boxes then ran to answer the phone. Somewhere between scoop, talk, toss and run, I forgot to put the bag in the outside garbage can.  Eight hours later I arrived home to a bedroom and master bath that smelled like a kitty outhouse.   Since half a can of air freshener didn't do much to cut the stench, I was determined to find an easier way keep the odor of used litter bags at bay, especially if I had another senior moment.  When I opened the kitchen garbage bin, the answer hit me in the nose like a boxer's glove:  Lined with a Glad OdorShield bag, there was no odor coming from my kitchen step can with the top closed.  But the minute I took out the bag...blam!  Full frontal odor attack.  Why not use the same principle of odor containment for a litter disposal system?

The StinkAWAY system would consist of two parts; a round or half round stainless steel step can with a carry handle and a removable interior can made of odor inhibiting plastic.  Under the lid of the exterior can would be a replaceable circular charcoal filter and a round, screw-in plug similar to those found on the cap of a thermos.  With the top down, the plug would fit snuggly into the center opening of the upper bag holder ring, effectively locking in odors.  The back of the plug would also have a replaceable charcoal filter.

Affixed to the perimeter of the interior can is the lower bag ring.  A disposal bag would be placed into the can open end up then pulled through the ring and drapped over its edges.  The upper ring, with a slightly smaller opening than the lower ring, would then be pushed onto the lower ring to secure the disposal bag.  To take out a used bag, the upper ring would be removed.  The user could then tie the open end of the bag and pull it out of the interior can.  To facilitate cleaning, the interior can could be removed.

A scoop clamp could be placed on the lid or side of the unit to hold various sized scoopers. 

I show an 8 gallon, compostable Glad OdorShield bag in the picture, however, this particular bag does not yet exist.  Hummm...that gives me an idea!

In baby themes in baby fresh scents that you can tuck into your diaper bag for on-the-go unexpected changes when no means of disposal is present and you have to walk around with a stinky diaper in your bag.
