A peel-and-stick handle that lets you open any swing-door trash can without touching the lid. 60-second install. Two years of restaurant testing. Now available for your home.
Preorder — From $16.95Trash can lids carry over 400 bacteria per square inch. Most people know it. They wash hands after, hover the lid, or just stop closing it altogether. SafeHandle is the simple fix: a handle that sticks to your lid so you never touch the lid itself again.
Push the SafeHandle, not the lid. The yellow tip is the only surface your hand meets.
The yellow handle tip is treated with antibacterial agents — your fingers stay cleaner.
Peel, stick the base, screw on the rod. No tools. No drilling. No replacement lids.
Kids can use the trash without a "go wash your hands" battle every time.
Wipe your trash lid clean. Peel the backing off the SafeHandle base. Press it firmly onto the lid for 30 seconds.
The yellow-tip rod screws into the base — no tools needed. The whole thing comes together by hand.
Push the yellow tip to swing the lid open. Drop your trash. Walk away. Your hands never touch the lid.
Two years of testing in restaurants, delis, breweries, and fast food locations. SafeHandle holds up to thousands of pushes a day in commercial settings. Your kitchen will be easy.
"We installed these on the dining room trash cans two years ago. Customers comment on them. They still work."
