In the kitchen sink's drain port there is a lot of food scum, etc. Even when you use the net or cover, you often get dirty hands during cleaning. Therefore, a drainage cover designed so that garbage at the drainage outlet can be treated without substantially contaminating the hand is "Tweak"is.Items that were recruited by KickstarterI got to the editorial department, so I actually tried using it.

"Tweak" to throw away garbage collected in the drainage outlet without contaminating your hands - YouTube


This is Tweak. There are two sizes, large and small.


On the back of the package ......


Explanation in Japanese which is easy to understand "Receiving garbage without soiling hands! Flexible material drain outlet garbage".


Compared to iPhone 6 Plus this is like this. "Sink Tweak" of large size is 110 mm in diameter, and "Tub Tweak" of small size is 70 mm in diameter.


There are plenty of holes in the body of the disk, which is common in drain cover.


However, looking from the side, you can see that only the part containing the logo protrudes with the ponkon.


Because it is made of rubber, it turns into Gnyaguna when putting force.


How it works is from the following. Tweak in a state where garbage accumulated on the cover.


When gripping the protruding part garbage collects at the center, if you lift tweak as it is, you can move Tweak from the drainage outlet to the trash can without spilling the dust.


Looking from the side it looks like the following.


It's a dish this time, but transfer the trash to a trash can and ... and.


Even if wet ingredients etc are clinging to Tweak, it is possible to peel off garbage vigorously by turning Tweak upside down.


In fact, I tried installing it at the sink drain outlet.


It fits perfectly in the drain.


While cooking, vegetable waste etc. are dropped into the sink ......


Finally vegetable skin etc on Tweak gathers up a lot.


In such a case, if it is a usual drain outlet cover, pinch the garbage and pinch the cover ... ....


It is also quite difficult to catch the cover, "Eeey, troublesome!" You can grab the garbage directly by hand and throw it away.


But Tweak has protrusions, so lift it up ... ...


It is OK if you just throw it away in a garbage can.


The appearance of throwing vegetable waste accumulated on Tweak in the trash can be confirmed from the following.

In addition, this time as a bonus the pin for the main body was also attached.


The pins are set apart as follows ......


Tweak I will insert it in the hole of the main body.


Looking from the table like this.


In this state putting it in the drain outlet, Tweak will not be misaligned significantly.


So, if possible, it is an item that makes it very easy to get rid of the garbage at the drain outlet, but please be careful as the drainage port is too big to use.


In some cases it seemed possible to use it even in the drainage outlet of the bathroom.



Also, if you are a person who says "You do not have to sprinkle hot water in the washroom," you can put a small size Tub Tweak on the washroom drain well.
