Addie Gundry and Brittany Hizer hope to clean up and get a deal for Pluie, their anti microbial changing tables for public restrooms, in Shark Tank episode 1419. Addie is a former chef and food writer and Brittany is a former designer of exercise equipment. When they started having kids, they realized how disgusting public changing tables are, so in 2018, they started their business. They sell their patented UV-C light system that sanitizes the changing surface within 60 seconds to public spaces all over the country.
The way it works is simple. Once you’re done changing your baby’s diaper, close the lid and the UV light sanitizes the changing surface in 60 seconds for the next user. The Pluie kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses including E. Coli, Influenza and Coronavirus. Using the product eliminates the need for chemical cleaners, reducing the amount of chemicals potentially left behind to cause irritation to a child’s skin and staff cleaning time.
At $2899, it’s meant for institutional use. There are Pluies installed in airports, amusement parks, hospitals, stadiums, malls and many other public spaces all over the USA. They also sell a changing table without the UV technology for places with no electric access for $1699. Both models feature a foam changing surface that is water-resistant, leakproof and easy to clean. The units mount on the wall and fold out for use. The ladies likely want a Shark to help them grow into more public spaces.

Pluie Shark Tank Recap
Addie and Brittany will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. They’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary that the company is worthy of a Shark investment. A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but they’ll need to show them THEY are capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Pluie will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
