ABOUT US


The inventors of the clean ball and the founders of No Crumbs GmbH Susanne and Bernd Schmekel
"At some point the crumbs in my handbag really annoyed me. And somehow I found it gross."
It was about 5 years ago when Susanne came up with the idea for her clean ball in the subway.
There should be something that crumbs and lint automatically collect. The first prototype: a golf ball that Susanne wrapped with double -adhesive tape. The dirt got stuck on it, but unfortunately the inner lining of the bag. And then he glued too. Very long. It wasn't until 1 year later that Susanne's friend remembered the idea again and together they started the development. 
 


Domestic production of the first 1,000 inner balls
They knew that the adhesive ball has to be behind grids so that it is no longer liable. Together with a CAD designer, they designed the holey outer shell of the clean ball, made in a 3D printer.
Then it went to the inner ball. In any case, it should be reusable and evaluable material that is easy to clean. After countless tests, the choice fell on TPR.
 



"But does anyone buy the ball at all?"
Again and again they asked themselves the question: "But does anyone buy the ball at all?" They wanted to know more and packed a few clean balls and went to the nearest Christmas market. Nice gift! Suddenly everyone wanted to buy the prototypes here. So it was clear: they continue. And they do more. Over 1,000 pieces alone were created in the oven at home and packed at the kitchen table. Susanne remembers: "Usually pancakes broke up - and the clean balls below."
 

United States of America
The American patent is probably the most spectacular, with golden script - it took over 3 years, now we are super happy alongside Europe, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Canada, etc. also to have our patent in the USA!
