Sanitizing Mist For Retail Shopping Carts
What about sanitizing shopping carts when not in use to protect all users? Would you say this is important? As shopping carts pass through the cart storage/collection area, they would be sprayed with a sanitizing solution which would cover all surfaces between uses. We could prevent sickness.
Q1: * Who uses shopping carts?
* What surfaces can germs survive on?
* What could be prevented by misting shopping carts with a sanitizing spray?
* Who would benefit/be protected by sanitizing mist?
* Where could shopping carts be sanitized?
* Would sanitization of carts need to be overly complicated or simple?
Idea Description
Germs are easily transmitted on shopping carts at grocery stores and retails stores everywhere, which everyone uses. Even in dry, dark conditions or in broad daylight, germs can thrive. The area where germs exist does not even need to be damp, but germs can thrive on objects where people have touched or sneezed. This type of spray system, installed in cart holding areas inside retail stores, could be a simple misting system that disinfects shopping carts each time they are pushed through and housed between uses. The mist would completely sanitize all surfaces, including those that children touch and put their mouths on. Everyone could be better protected by simple sanitization.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Make a payment toward completely owning my home and property, making a donation to my religious affiliation for volunteer work to rebuild all over the world and then put some in savings.

Post a commentI like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs

This is a great idea because when ever i go shopping i never want to touch the carts, so instead i just put the products in my hands.
This is an excellent idea. One of the better ones I ever read. Having myself been affected by the transmission of germs picked up from shopping carts I'd love to see merchants take it upon themselves to provide a more sanitary environment in which to shop. I once when on a cruise and one of the first things that impressed me was the high degree of sanitation provided onboard ship. You were not allow into the eating establishments with first applying an antibacterial mist to your hands at the door of the establishment. I never heard of a single person getting sick onboard that ship the entire 14 days we sailed.
This sanitizing mist set up like a auto car wash or fire sprinkler system could also be used at the indoor play gyms, like at McDonald's and Chuck E. Cheese. It's a love/hate relationship. It's somewhere to take the kids that's inexpensive and entertaining but they most always get sick 2 days later! There's an EPA Registered botanical disinfectant called Benefect that would be a great product to use in such a device - very "green".
