The Shuzon Story.
Social Worker by day, Inventor by night.
Shuzon was created by 26-year-old Ariel Zaksenberg in Brooklyn, New York. Ariel realized there was an issue needing a solution from her personal experience visiting clients’ homes and carrying in dirt through her shoe soles. This problem is what led to the invention of Shuzon. Her ultimate goal is to limit the spread of germs, especially with COVID-19 creating overall health and safety concerns.
As a social worker, Ariel travels throughout the city to visit her clients in their homes. She became acutely aware of how filthy her shoes were after walking through dirty city streets. This is an issue she became determined to solve, and the data confirms its import. Research has shown that shoe soles contain more bacteria than a toilet seat! A study done at the University of Arizona found 440,000 units of bacteria on a single pair of shoes.
Our Product.
Shuzon’s goal is to clean up the world, one shoe sole at a time. Shuzon is easy to use and functions just like a conventional doormat. This two-sided doormat dispenses cleaning solution to sanitize shoe soles and provides a “drying” feature to further ensure cleanliness. Current welcome mats do not reduce germs, and are often themselves a breeding ground for bacteria. Shuzon is here to fix that with their newly designed doormat that is suitable for adults, young children, and everyone in between.
We’ve all been there - you get to a friend’s house and are immediately reminded of their “no shoes inside” policy due to fears about what will be tracked inside. With Shuzon, this anxiety is a thing of the past. Now, you and all your guests can keep your shoes on!
