"I'm an outsider to the bathroom and plumbing industry. I was surprised by most of the environmental impacts… I never really thought about the cleaning solution that I was dumpling into the toilet," says Chris. "In talking to consumers, there was a huge concern about the environment, and how we could actually enable consumers to not only enjoy the benefits of automated cleaning, but also be part of a solution."
