【Revolutionary】 Solving the "hassle" of returning from a trip! Just roll, and your suitcase casters are clean
For the author, who travels frequently, the most troublesome thing after returning home was cleaning the suitcase casters. There are various methods like wiping with a cloth or wrapping with tape... but being able to clean them just by rolling is the best!
Cleaning caster dirt 360°

Suddenly, have you ever washed the casters of your suitcase? By cleaning them regularly, not only do you prevent dirt from coming into your room, but you also extend the lifespan of the casters.

When it comes to washing casters, wiping them is common, but honestly, it’s a hassle. Hence, the "Tire-Specific Cleaner" was born, which comes with a mat and brush on the rail, allowing you to clean it just by rolling it. Its appeal lies in the fact that you can just place it on the floor and use it anywhere. The long bristle of the brush can also remove dirt from the sides of the casters, and as you can see in the photos, they become quite clean.
Casters compatible with both single & double

The rail width can be adjusted to fit the width of the suitcase, making it usable with all types of suitcases. There are two types of rails: one specifically for singles and one that supports both single and double. Note that it does not support the 2-wheel (trolley) type.

When using it, it’s necessary to spray a disinfectant or cleaning solution designed for casters towards the rail. After use, simply wiping them lightly with a damp cloth makes maintenance easy. According to product testers, it has also been used in hotels and seems to have received high praise. Since it only requires rolling, it can be said to be a significant advantage without putting a burden on the guests.
Failed the manufacturer’s approach and decided to challenge on Makuake

The "Tire-Specific Cleaner" is developed by an individual named Yoshio Ueno, who conceived the idea while traveling nationwide as a training instructor and became concerned about caster dirt.
Since it is handmade without going through a manufacturer, it is limited to 200 units and does not have a special price. Therefore, the price is high, but if this project is successful, they plan to increase mass production and reduce costs. As a travel enthusiast, I definitely want to support this!
