Whether you're trying to get sand and salt off after a day at the beach, or wearing two days worth of desert dust from Coachella, staying clean isn't easy when you're isolated from running water.
There aren't many solutions to this problem, but the most popular one is Rinsekit.
Created by Chris Crawford, a surfer who was tired of going into work with salt on his skin, Rinsekit lets you take pressurized water with you wherever you go.
After creating a prototype in his garage, Crawford received enough attention for his invention that he decided to set up a Kickstarter. With an initial goal of $30,000, his campaign went on to make almost $400,000 with the help of over 2,400 backers. From there, Crawford took his product to "Shark Tank," where RinseKit secured a $250,000 investment from Daymond John.
With a unique adapter, RinseKit hooks up to a standard spigot and retains the water pressure used to fill its two-gallon tank. Once full, the RinseKit can provide around four minutes of continuous spray. The company also offers a Field Fill Kit, which lets you pressurize your RinseKit with a bike pump when you’re away from a faucet or spigot.
When you think about how useful it would be to have pressurized water with you everywhere, Rinsekit's success makes sense. Anyone who loves the outdoors could use it to clean off muddy shoes after a long hike, wash their dishes after a dinner around the campfire, or take a full shower before heading to bed in their tent.
Speaking from experience, I know that RinseKit would be invaluable at music festivals. I've spent many Sundays at festivals feeling like I might never be fully clean again. Having a way to give myself a quick shower each night would be a big help.
If you're planning on spending a lot of time outside this summer, RinseKit is an easy way to bring one of the best luxuries from home with you. It's refreshing and healthy to get away from modern society for a little while, but that doesn't mean you have to stop staying clean.
