the concept
Mitt Products started with the Mutt Mitt: an environmentally-friendly, easy-to-use method of cleaning dogs when out, about and far from a tap. We quickly realised that, with a different formulation, they were equally effective for bicycles, cars, boats, boots, running shoes - whatever, in fact, you could reach with your hand and wanted to clean.
An environmentally-friendly, portable, easy-to-use, cleaning solution.
The process is simple:
- You identify a product that needs cleaning
- We blend an appropriate formulation
- We combine dry mitt and formulation
- You clean your product
The mitts
Made from bamboo, a natural fibre that is fully biodegradable & naturally antiseptic
A conduit for applying specialised cleaning formulation for whatever is required
Can be used on skin, metals, oils, fabrics, whatever. If you can touch it with your hand, and want to clean it, you can Mitt it
Provides full hand and wrist protection from whatever it is being tackled
Can be refreshed with formulation if reuse is required, or will naturally biodegrade in domestic waste if they’ve done all they can do
The ethos
Our products are environmentally-friendly
The mitts are 100% biodegradable, and the formulations are, wherever possible, paraben, sulfate and phosphate free.
Our products are safe
We’re accustomed to manufacturing medical grade products for the dental market so test our Mitt formulations to a similar degree. The chemicals used are naturally-derived and personally sourced by MD Peter Tapper who works closely with global partner, Gapuma, to supply Industrial Alcohols to cosmetics and cleansing product manufacturers.
Our products are effective
Rigorous testing, naturally high standards, and an in depth understanding of their end usage means Mitt Products work.
Our service is spot-on
We’ve spent long enough in business to want to avoid traditional stresses caused by unrealistic goals and time scales. If we decide to work together, we will deliver.
The Team
Our team combines considerable business and service sector expertise. One director developed and sold a company manufacturing dental products; another runs the exclusive House of Mutt dog service. Having met sailing in Greece in 2017, where sun and sangria inevitably led to discussions on how best to keep dogs clean, they came up with the idea of an environmentally-friendly dog wash mitt.
It quickly became apparent that the team had landed on an exciting concept. As Peter says ‘There is a huge need for easy-to-use cleaning products that are as kind on the earth as they are on our homes. The Mitts can be formulated to clean pretty much anything. We realised we had the basis of a serious new product here’.
