Any mother can tell you what a challenge it is to help a young child wash their hands at a public restroom. Children are heavy to lift. And the difficulty multiplies if you are also holding a baby, purse, and packages. If parents know of a place that will make the job easier, you can bet your boots they'll go out of their way to find it. Step 'n Wash was invented by one such mom. It's an ingenious retractable step stool for restrooms that is out of the way for those who don't need it, yet will easily unfold with the flick of a foot for those who do. Priced under $500, any business can install a permanent piece of fine customer service for less than the cost of a single newspaper ad.

According to Step 'n Wash President, Joi Sumpton, the easy-care, stainless steel Step 'n Wash is used more frequently than a stainless baby changing table and costs half as much. Volume pricing is available for bulk orders.
