Scenes of use


Background of development

Nihon Clean-tech is a proposal-oriented company that develops and sells convenient and unique household products.

We are pleased to announce the release of "Luotta," a rubber wiper with updated functions while maintaining the ease-of-use of a broom.


Recently, inexpensive and stylish robotic vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaners that can stand on their own stand have become available, but with the recent rise in electricity costs and the spread of the new coronavirus, people are becoming more conscious of the noise they make when they are at home.


However, some traditional brooms do not blend well with the room's landscape, and are sometimes shunned as indoor cleaning tools. Therefore, we developed a new product under the theme of "being stylish and eco-friendly" to solve the visual issue while retaining the broom's ecological features.

Features of the Luotta rubber wiper

1. the "bending" of the wiper and the "edge" of the tip eliminate the gap between the wiper and the floor, preventing the wiping from leaving any residue.

The most important feature of "Luotta" rubber wiper is its ability to leave no residue on the floor. This is made possible by the flexible wiper section and the edge of the tip. The flexible wiper section and the edge of the wiper tip eliminate the gap between the wiper and the floor, preventing fine dust and dirt from remaining on the floor. 


2.The [original protrusions] scrape away hair and pet hair that has gotten into the carpet.

The "flexible bending" of the Luotta wiper and the resistance of the rubber tip edges. This efficacy is also demonstrated on carpets, where it is useful for scraping up hair and pet hair. The wiper has a small "pockmarked projection" on one side to create a rake broom-like scraping effect. 


3.Wipe up spilled liquid in a single stroke. The advantage of the wiper's close contact with the floor opens up a wide range of usage scenarios.

It is very troublesome to clean up spilled liquid, and you have to collect the spilled liquid with a rag and wipe it up. With the Rubber Wiper, however, liquids can be cleaned up in a single sweep. The advantage of the rubber wiper's close contact with the floor is also demonstrated in this situation. 


4.The design and ease of use have updated the look and feel of a broom.

The Luotta rubber wiper is designed to blend in with daily life, while retaining the universal and intuitive functionality of a broom and its interior design. 


5.The broom comes with a stylish and convenient stand that can also be used as a dustpan.

Luotta" comes with a special stand that can also be used as a dustpan. Collect dust, remove it with the dustpan, and store it in a beautiful appearance. We are trying to complete this sequence of operations.
