Who are the founders?
Gabe Trevizo and Cindy Trevizo do know how to work magic while taking care of their family of four. Talking about how the idea came to their mind, the couple said on their official website, “As parents of four active children under the age of eight, we quickly realized that something as simple as washing hands when away from home, getting hands truly clean, can be a major challenge. That’s why we created Suds2Go.”
Dishing out secrets and what really made him realize the need for a product like Suds2Go, Gave remembered the time when they relied heavily on hand sanitizer. “Didn’t love it, but we used it. After being frustrated with the lack of water and soap at a park bathroom, heightened by a potty training tot and pizza, I had enough. I went home, pulled out my laptop, hopped on Amazon and was ready to buy a mobile handwashing system.” To his surprise, there was no such product. “This was my lightbulb moment! If it didn’t exist, I was determined on creating it,” Gabe then said.
The mission of Suds2Go is to empower active families and individuals. The founders feel that you should be able to wash your hands at anytime, anywhere! Together, the pair have four children, Bronson (10), Blake (8), Violet (5), and Wyatt (3).
