Easy Clean is a faucet that was designed to prevent the recontamination of one’s hands when turning off a tap. The handle and outlet are combined for multiple benefits.

Every time we turn on a tap with a dirty hand, we leave some germs on the handle. Our hand will be re-contaminated when we turn the tap off. To solve this problem, we could use a motion sensor (which would involve additional energy consumption), or we could choose a smarter tap.

The process of designing the Easy Clean faucet involved a reconsideration of the act of washing one’s hands. Easy Clean combines the handle and the outlet in a single form. The tap is turned on with a single press. The water that flows out cleans the tap while the user washes their hands. The design saves effort, water, and even energy.
