Grip Clean is an all-natural hand soap that is industrial strength and contains dirt as one of the ingredients. Dirt is an excellent absorbent of chemicals such as Oils, Grease, and toxins. Besides absorbing compounds, dirt has another benefit in that it exfoliates your skin.
Grip Clean made by X-Games Champion
Grip Clean makes a pitch in Shark Tank Season 7 by Bryce Hudson, a three-time X-Games champion. Bryce rides in on his motocross bike doing a wheelie into Shark Tank.
Bryce is always out in the dirt, working in the garage, and at the track. He turned dirt into his new hand soap, called Grip Clean.
Robert asks Bryce have you ever hurt yourself. Bryce says that is why he's starting a company!
Grip Clean is pre-revenue, but Bryce has five local motorcycle shop ready to carry his product. The cost to make is $2.12 with wholesale at $5, and retail at $8.99. He can get it down to $1.25 with ten thousand units. Mark says that at ten thousand bottles it is not a business. Twenty thousand units will get under $1.
Robert talks about Grease Monkey wipes, and the customers didn't care enough that Grease Monkey Wipes was all natural.
Bryce is making Grip Clean out of a five-gallon bucket. His customers want it in the retail location.
