Scrubber: Your hand-washing soundtrack

Role: Creative, Hardware Engineering

Smash that soap pump for 20 seconds of music selected right from your most played Spotify tracks of the week, played through a DIY sudsy soundsystem to perfectly time your lathering. All you need is a soap dispenser, a Spotify account, and a few common electronic parts to build your own. Scrubber has been featured on Hackster.io, Endgaget, DailyMail, 9to5Mac and a variety of other outlets.

We designed, built, and published this project in just under one week, as part of Deeplocal’s “Cabin Fever” series. During this pandemic, we’re applying our creative engineering expertise to some exploratory work. Some of it is aiming to help solve real challenges the medical community is facing, and some, like Scrubber, are maker projects that inject a little bit of fun into all our lives.
