45 Times Product Designers Failed To Consider The Practicality Of Cleaning, As Shared On This Facebook Group (New Pics)
I believe that a good design has to have at least these qualities - practicality, functionality, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. But I also believe that not every designer has these qualities in mind when creating a new product. Therefore images on a Facebook group called Things designed by people who don't have to clean them have emerged with all sorts of objects designed in a way that just makes us feel mad. If the object turned out beautiful, that is not enough. We need it to be useful, easy to care for, and simply put - practical.
If a product design seems good on paper, that does not necessarily mean that it will be customer-approved. That is why each product design has to be tested before being sold to a broader consumer audience.
So, fellow Pandas, we invite you to see the worst possible designs, maybe learn a thing or two, and share in the comments which fail was the absolute worst for you. And if you would like to repeat this experience, see our previous post on Bored Panda here.

Finally Found Something That's Ewww Enough For Here
My thoughts exactly, hahaha 😆. I thought that fit as well, if not better than "shoebacca".
Load More Replies...As someone with trichophobia (phobia of hair), a severe case at that.. this picture is horrifying. I have never admitted this outside of my therapist room so please be nice.
Almost everyone has a phobia of something. Congrats on coming to terms with it. 🤗 wishing you only the best! I think when people hear of another’s phobia, & can’t relate, they can be rather insensitive about how it really affects you, which is unfortunate.

The Only Bad Thing About My New Place, This Built In Cutting Board Who On Earth Thought Of This
I have one, but it dosn't get used for its purpose, we put hot things on it like pots and pans so they don't damage the bench.
That's absolutely trivetting! I have granite worktops, so I can put pots and pans down anywhere. Very practical in a small kitchen. :D
Load More Replies...i love the idea but it would have to have a way to remove it for cleaning in order for me to do it. no way u can properly clean if its completely built in no way to get it out.
It comes out. This sort of thing is standard in RVs which have limited counter space.
Load More Replies...I have one and I hate it. I only use it to set things down from the oven so I don't risk damaging the crappy counter top
I have one just like that. Don't use it but it catches everything and just stays nasty no matter how afternoon is gets a deep clean.
My grandparents had one of those....my grandmother liked it--hers was larger and had fish on it) but I've never seen one anywhere else.
Levittown, Pa, Bucks County - most Levitt-built houses had them in the kitchens
Load More Replies...If this is marble, and there are silicone seals around the edges to prevent liquids from going under it... this could work. Would still need to be cleaned but should be fine.
I OWN THIS! Came with the house. I had the same thoughts about it being stupid. My solution is I don't use it. The glass is tempered or whatever so it can be okay for setting a hot pan on but I rarely do even that. If / when I ever redo my counters it is gone. Which I would have done but I'm poor boy so I keep milking use out of my crappy formica countertops.
The Inside Of My Foster Puppy’s Flexible Cone Is A Textured Fabric That Can’t Be Wiped Down. It’s Foul After Just 2 Days, And He’ll Have To Wear It For 2-4 Weeks. The Person Who Designed This Clearly Never Had A Dog, Probably Never Met A Dog
At 2 days of life for a minimum of two weeks, that's a minimum of 14 of them. Could get pretty expensive, plus filling the trash awfully fast.
Load More Replies...Seriously...get a different cone! Next thing you know, you will be paying a vet to heal your dog from whatever happens from inhaling the foul 24-7
There's these appliances called washing machines. Those above, can be washed. I've done it.
This one's kind of funny as the person is blaming whomever designed the cone... yet they're the person that bought if for the dog!
What is the cone protecting the dog from doing? Besides buying a replacement cheap plastic cone, you may be able to cover the area you're keeping him from. we had a cone and a cat and then found the cat could not get up the stairs with the cone on, looking through the clear cone and kept getting caught trying to climb the stairs. She had a spot on her back we did not want her to pick at, our solution was to put a little shirt on her instead of the cone.
The cone is likely preventing the dog from licking/chewing surgery stitches (possibly from spaying/neutering). Or some kind of ointment to heal a hotspot if the dog has some kind of skin condition. There are lots of reasons why dogs need to wear cones. I think those inflatable donut shaped "cones" are much better than the traditional funnel shaped ones shown above, more mobility for the dog, but not enough that they can reach the stitches and delay their healing further.
Load More Replies...Have you ever wondered what goes into making a mass-produced product? Getting the product from an idea form to being produced is a long process that includes many steps. Sure, it is easier if you already have a product line and are just adding something new to the market rather than hopping into business fresh with no experience at all. Some beginner mistakes will definitely happen if you had no prior knowledge, but what is the most shocking thing of all is that some very well-known companies and big-label brands still manage to create something absurd.
Look At This Hellscape Of A Backsplash. Now Envision Whipped Sweet Potatoes That Had A Little Accident
First I thought it was something behind a bed. And was wondering what "Whipped Sweet Potatoes" was a rewrite of... in my defense, I just woke up and didn't se the stofe etc 😴
If it were a bed, then it would be a different kind of backsplash!!! LOL

Take that puppy off the door and throw it in the dishwasher.
Load More Replies...A vacuum cleaner and/or some kind of brush would clean that up very nicely
Today I learned that Cradle Of Filth is a real band. I just thought The IT Crowd made it up.
Load More Replies...Not really, it gets greasy/sticky from hands and cooking, it's a nightmare to keep clean, you need to use a dental brush to get into every nook
Load More Replies...Yeah like others said, not really seeing an issue here. Those dingleberries should never be there in the first place but could be cleaned with a q-tip if needed.
No problem that I can see. It's easily cleaned, but you're gonna need a duffle bag full of Qtips (available at Qanon "Where we clean one, we clean all" WWC1WCA).
Smells Exactly Like You'd Imagine
Those actually aren't stains, the fake grass is flattened where people stand and appears darker where people don't stand. Still a gross idea for flooring around the urinals.
Load More Replies...🙀EEEWWW, NOOO!!!😱 /s (actually brilliant idea).
Load More Replies...I didn't see the carpet SMH I thought they were talking about the piping
If the final product is this difficult to clean and take care of, is it worth buying? Well, some people might say that it is just laziness and not creative thinking if your so-called impractical object is dirty. But some products, even after numerous attempts, are impossible to get cleaned. Would that be considered lazy or just a terrible product design? But worst of all is how unhygienic some decisions are. Fleece cover for the toilet seat? No, thank you. That just feels wrong and dirty, if you’d ask me. Maybe warm to sit on, but where do you live, in Alaska?
This Waiting Room At A Hairdresser
Does the hairdresser practice on the walls if it's a slow day, do you think?
Are you SURE you are at the human hairdresser? mutt-cuts-...aacba1.jpg
Back in the early 70s I stayed at a hotel that had shag carpeting on the walls. It took us a while to find the door to the adjoining room.
I was looking through the comments, only to be sure that Jeffrey wasn't forgotten!!

The Ninja Blender Handle
Yeah, I was going to say that as well. Mine has never done this.
Load More Replies...A few shurikens thrown into the mix will help break up the lumpy bits
Load More Replies...Mine has lasted forever and works awesome !!! Oh and the handle does not fill up... maybe the one in the image is cracked
Load More Replies...Same thing happened with my Bosch blender. If I wash it by hand, it's ok, but the dishwasher makes it awful. I guess there is a was to disassemble and clean it.
I have this blender. It comes apart to clean. This person is just lazy and dirty.
Yes! This is why it does not go in the dishwasher
I understand that this post is just me ranting about how awful these designs are, and I understand that some are just beginners' mistakes. And sure, some can be cleaned in the end, but at least some advice or an instruction manual would be nice. And if that seems too difficult to make, then it is probably not a product that anyone should own.

Mmmmmm.... Just What I Need After Washing My Hands
AAAaaaaaaahhhhhhh! They need to be reported, that's effing hideous and manky, and I'm sure a health code violation in most states, the force of the air in those things is massive, and would blow particles everywhere, not just down.
yes this isn't that it's difficult to clean, it is that is hasn't been
Load More Replies...Even when they look clean those hand driers are seriously unsanitary, I really thought the pandemic would be the end of them
I refuse to use them. I dry my hands on the bottom of my shirt. I know it's cleaner.
Load More Replies...I find this type of hand drier just doesn't work on me. I'd sooner have paper towels.
i believe they are filled with dirt, dust, microbes, etc, and when you turn it on, you're blowing all of that schmutz onto your newly washed hands.
Load More Replies...Studies have shown that blow dryers are filthy. Better to wash your hands thoroughly, use a napkin to turn off the faucet, toss it, dry your hands with another napkin and use that napkin to open the door. Another thing I cannot comprehend are toilets in public spaces WITHOUT lids!!! This means that all the viruses and bacteria are spewed in an eight foot radius!
Conversely, I have seen studies that have found that, as long as you dry your hands completely, these are just as good as a towel. It is incomplete drying that causes bacteria to grow.
Load More Replies...I hate these Dyson hand dryers! It is very hard to put your hands in between in order to dry your hands without touching the sides. In fact, most Dyson products are overpriced sh*te, particularly those stupid fans that don't have blades. The do almost nothing.
A Table At A Restaurant
Tables should be cleaned between customers, so may not be enough
Load More Replies...You can kill the time while waiting for your order by picking out tidbits from the last diner's meal. You get appetizers, the table gets cleaned. Win win.
Not this specific pattern but I spent many years working in pubs that had 'reclaimed' / old school wooden tables and I LOVED spending a quiet hour digging the muck out of the grooves. We're talking nice places but grooved wood is NOT a great option. It was equal parts gross and satisfying. Tried not to let anyone see how much sh*t accumulated in the gaps but I loved clearing it out!
That looks like someone has nailed together some out door decking - cheap AND nasty.
In the end, some people might find a few of these product designs totally fine. Maybe it is just laziness for the rest of us. But I believe that in this day and age, we, as a society, could do better and think in the best interest of each other.
So, fellow Pandas, what are your thoughts on these designs, are we just lazy, or do we deserve better?
This Hospital Finger Thingy
Showing off by over-complicating things and using medical jargon in the post title.
I know right, they could have just called it a pulse oximiter.
Load More Replies...Run away and find a clean hospital. Btw , I think it's called a pulse oxymeter. Measures how oxygenated your blood is. Not sure if i spelled it correctly)
An isopropyl alcohol wipe and like 10 seconds can clean that. This is lazy nurse issue, not an inability to be cleaned easily one. :)
Mmm I disagree. Not about the nurse thingy but about the ease of cleaning. That's grime in there - too many little corner thingies
Load More Replies...is it just me that's kind of scared of these thingies?? these and the arm squeezie machines at the doctors
oh I hate the arm squeezies... but also the pointy stingy things, ouch
Load More Replies...Best not to let yourself look closely at anything in your hospital room it's a nightmare.
I bet they don't know. Someone cleans the rooms after the patient has checked out. Looks like when not in use you wouldn't see the crud. On the other hand, you'd like to think the stuff the put on your body would get a looksie once in a while.
Have you ever watched them "clean" a hospital room? I have. It's scary. My father died of a Hospital acquired infection, in a very reputable hospital. Each time my mother was in hospital (which was a lot) I cleaned her rooms. Blood on the walls, etc... the worst place for sick people, especially with low immune systems, to be. Get out asap and bring a really good antiseptic spray.
Load More Replies...Yeah but the disposable ones don't stay on as well because the tape doesn't stick that well (at least the ones I've seen) and then you get about as much crud stuck to the tape.
Load More Replies...I had this on my finger when I was in hospital, but it looked clean....
It's Fleece I Think
I think someone was on mushrooms when they made this.
Load More Replies...Who started this trend? Like someone actually thought it to be a good idea to begin with, but why???
Wondering the same thing. Who was the first person to come up with this idea - and why did it catch on?!!
Load More Replies...Use that in your guest bath to ensure visitors don't overstay their welcome.
I get WHY you would WANT to do it.....but why did you ACTUALLY do it??!!?!
It's a culture medium, I think, and the fungi decor is quite ironic
My guess is that's its a cover that can can be removed and washed. At least I hope so!

I Wonder If There Are Any Books On Hygiene
These books are flagged. They've been in the bathroom. seinfeld-b...a1-png.jpg
Why is the lid on the toilet up!?!??? That only allows more dispersal of bacteria when flushed. Not to mention, a book (or anything else) could get knocked into the toilet with the lid open like that. The lid is there for a fricken reason everyone!!!
Why is there a toilet in the book closet? So you don't have to put the book down to go pee??
Nooooo. This is unacceptable!! I saw one such picture with crockery being stored in same room as a toilet seat and now this??
Hey, in 2020 this was considered thinking ahead. Tell me none of you even once thought it might come to this after finding that empty shelf at the grocery store? 🤨
To each their own. Some come to sit and think, others to–uh–sh*t and stink.
Oh god!! I hate this so much makes me want to puke! When I was pregnant I went to my little 2 piece bathroom in my bedroom and wiped it down with disinfectant wipes from where my chubby fingers could reach to the floor boards! Then wiped down the sink and toilet! Everything!! Then mopped the floors! Then every time I used the bathroom I put the toilet seat down! Religiously!! All that just for a little bit later my hubby leave the toilet seat up when he flushed! I was so annoyed!! Lmfao!

Every Rainforest Cafe…
I went to the one in Niagara Falls in October. The whole place has a stale smell and general feeling of uncleanliness.
I went to the one in London, it smelled like a rainforest, damp and rotting.
Load More Replies...Fun fact: Rainforest Cafes trash the entire mass of plastic plants every other year and replace them all. Thousands of pounds of unrecyclable plastic, in the trash, every two years. And it still smells like a hot, wet, second hand car seat 90% of the time. Boycott Rainforest Cafe.
The musty reusable water features have their own distinctive smell that covers everything else.
Never sit in front of the elephant! The trunk will swing when u least expect 🐘
I remember the last time I was at a Rainforest Cafe, in MacArthur Mall in VA, back when it used to be there. It just smelled of Chlorine and the food was sub-par. Took forever for it to come out, too. Got sick of the smell of chlorine that I could hardly eat the food.
Rainforest cafe would be a great place to eat if the food was any good.

Load More Replies...I wouldn't want to start a breeding program, but generally speaking a handful of spiders is by far not the worst thing that could happen to a home (unless you live in Australia, I guess, or in black widow territory).

Who cares? Spiders kill nasty, disease carrying things, so if they want to live in there, so be it.

Absolutely Speechless. Yikes
They clearly are dry-weather-only shoes lol. In general I absolutely love Dr. Martens...
They make a spray that can make fabrics water proof. They won't get wet and if they get muddy you can just wash with soap and water. I've used it for Vans, suede heels, UGGs. The fluffy parts of the UGGs didn't mat up so I'm pretty sure it would be just fine on these. With all of that said, I now desperately want the pink ones even though I can find no justifiable reason to buy them.

Carpeted Laptop By Microsoft
Ok but I have this exact keyboard and it’s really nice and doesn’t get dirty. It’s not really carpet anyway
I was coming here to say exactly this. My son has this laptop too. It's almost like the microfibre you find inside glasses cases.
Load More Replies...This Alcantara was actually super nice and I loved it. The real issue here was people who don't know how to take care of their devices. I regularly get back normal plastic laptops that look like they sat in a meth house for 8 years and were only a couple months old because they were so nasty and Sticky they needed cleaning.
No worse in concept than regular carpet flooring, which means: really really bad
NO worse than the rubberized coatings some manufacturers put on their laptops years ago. They laptop still runs great but the rubber gets all sticky & gooey.
I hate this weird rubber! It gets old just like faux leather, magically makes something that is otherwise fine unusable.

This Sink At The Airbnb We Stayed At Earlier This Year
It looks more like saw dust, rather than grime. Most likely from the empty wine crates rubbing together during use. The wall next to it looks rather terrifying though.
Load More Replies...From the non-GFCI outlet to the painted nail sticking half out of the wall, the mysterious brown stain trailing from the faucet crate, the rocks inside an unfinished wood crate that are guaranteed to have a nice soup of dirty water and rotting wood at the base, and the fancy mess of PVC drain pipe, this may be the world's most purposely disgusting and dangerous bathroom.

This Card Holder In A Ford Focus
That's a gold-plated invitation to have your windows smashed and the car totally stripped. Who thought this was a good idea?

Load More Replies...I have one in my Saab. You'd use it for parking tickets and the like. Mine is removable.
The card itself is dirtier, slipping into slots all over town. Credit s**t!!!
I didn't think that would be censored. Should have used floozy or tramp.
Load More Replies...VERY bad idea. Way too easy to absentmindedly leave your card in the car in plain sight, just begging to have the car broken into.
It can’t be a ‘card holder’ possibly a void space created by the gap where a handbrake would be on a right hand drive model and vice versa, there would be no need for designers to think of somewhere to put cards and spend money developing a solution when purses and wallets pre date the Ford Focus by a few hundred years
I'd be afraid to try it out, my luck the card would go *floop* into oblivian

No way are you getting all the gunge out of all the holes without pretty much making it a full-time job.

Those Windows. Why In The Hell
My entire forty-year career was spent at a university library, and we went through four major renovations during my tenure.

This is the original reason my mum didn't want us using straws, even if they were reusable. Even using the brush thing from my brother's feeding tube was a pain and if we used them with milk (which we were told never to do, but it happened at times) you couldn't get rid of the smell.
Of course not! Ameficcans like solzving nonexistant problems and making them worse!

Anyone Got A Guess To How Many Spiders This Could Potentially House? Lol. Spotted At Magnolia
What is this obsession with spiders? I wouldn't want that thing accumulating/shedding dust and grease on my plate, it's unhygienic as anything, but spiders in particular wouldn't be my first concern (somewhere in the top 15 maybe), they might at least cut down on moskitos and flies nesting there.
I climbed into a palm tree to get a ball (one of those bushy Mexican palms) and saw about a hundred spiders. They were all in a bunch doing a dance with their arms out. It must have been a defensive posture to make it look like a giant creature with hundreds of arms. It was hypnotic to see, but I felt spiders crawling all over me when I got out. I think that is what people think about when they see something like this.

True. But at home, it's somehow less gross because it's "your" dirt and hair. This in public? Blech

Looks like an indoor shoe. Even if not, you can still punt outdoor shoes in the washing machine. Clean fluff then.

Silicone Hot-Pad With Little Squares. I've Tried Soaking And A Scrub Brush And More Soaking And More Scrubbing, Repeat, And Am Now Convinced They Were Designed By People Who Didn't Have To Clean Them
That's weird, I have these exact ones in pink and teal, and they're super easy to clean... this might be due to the nature of the dirt. Maybe it's stained.
We have a couple like this one and a couple that are the Dêâth Star and Millennium Falcon from Star Wars and we just spray them with Dawn Powerscrub spray foam and let it sit a bit while washing the other dishes. It cuts through all matters of crusted and baked on foods and grease. I have grown to really love the stuff. It makes it so much easier to clean many things in the kitchen. Sorry this sounds like a ad. I have horrible arthritis in my hands and anything that makes it easier on my hands is my friend,lol.

Public Toilet In A Pub. This Hand Dryer Is Directly Above This Radiator, So All The Drips From Wet Hands Are Causing This Rust And Yuckiness!
At my school, the towel dispenser is directly above the toilet. So the toilet seat is always covered with drops. Hopefully only water, but you never know. (It's a unisex toilet.)

This Came Through On R/Helpmefind. It’s Gorgeous, But I Ain’t Cleaning It
And this is how you turn your bathroom into a museum. You will only look at it, too horrified to use and clean it.
I would love to have that at home, just clean it with a sponge. And a house does not have to be "operating room clean", a bit of normal "dirt" is no problem, and good for your health. I own a farm, how do you think we would survive if every spider and dirt bit was a health hazard. 😁
If it's super deep on the engraving, could you coat it with resin? Or would that not work?

I Posted This In You Should Have Hired An Architect, But Everyone There Thought This Bannister Belonged Here Too
Considering the fact that many architects see themselves as artists (as in "I have a vision: floating islands of light!") and thus problem issuers rather than problem solvers I'm not sure the title is justified. Tastewise the best you can say about the banister is that it fits perfectly with the rest of the room, just like a crocheted toilet seat cover fits a rose themed carpeted public bathroom in a rest stop.
Normal banisters get funky ... I can't imagine the germs on this one.
The Bathroom Sink In The Tavern On Pike In Seattle. Didn't Even Want To Look At All The Gunk Caked Under The Edges
I Can Sense The Soap Slime From Here
Well, the water is already there, so cleaning isn't that much of a problem, though I'd leave it at one nook for storing purposes. I always hate it when I enter a shower with my arms full of stuff (shampoo, conditioner, soap, maybe shaving gear, whatever) and nowhere to put it.
I think the niches in the right wall are filled with glass bricks. not too much of an issue in the whole.
I don't think people understand that wood features in bathrooms are hidrofuged, they don't absorve any water, its pretty much the same as plástico.

I never think white is a good option near food ... at least not at my house.

That actually looks superb, i love it ( and that rock is treated with hidrofuged materials, making it completly impermiable )

Some of these are pretty bad and others are like just use a brush. A kitchen brush, and old toothbrush, anything like that. I love cleaning things with a brush, it's so satisfying.
Seems like nobody knows how to use a dustpan and brush any more.
Load More Replies...These things are intended for people rich enough to hire cleaning help. So they expect it to be pristine all the time, or the cleaning people are replaced.
I think the really nasty examples here are those with carpeting. You don't die from a bit of bacteria and most of cleaning products are a lot more harmful to a person's health (lots of chemicals!) and the environment.
My thoughts on all of these are as follows(not necessarily in this order) : What Dafuq! How the HeIl? I need a power washer! I need an industrial powered steam machine! Why would you...(fill in the blank)?!?
