The couple attended a outing with their four children gave them the idea to create Suds2Go.
In 2018, the matter became even more glaring when the Trevizo’s attended a birthday party at an amusement park. The hosts did not ensure that there was soap in the restrooms.
Since it was flu season, and the Trevizos youngest child was an infant at the time, they were scared of bringing home germs to the vulnerable infant.
After this incident, Gabe and Cindy had needed to create a product that would solve this problem.
Gabe did his research and started a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund research and development, design engineers, etc.
What are Suds2Go sales?
While presenting their product, the couple said that they have been selling it on their website since February 2021. Gabe Trevizo then said that their total sales were 392,000. Shedding light on their background, Gabe said he lost his job and Cindy then took up a teaching job. In between, the pair did several odd jobs to support their family. While Cindy worked as a waitress, Gabe did everything he could to earn money, even picking up trash.
The two then explained how they started the business with $80,000 from their savings account and the Kickstarter campaign. They managed to collect $90,000 as savings but they also had a personal loan of about $150,000. The couple, who are parents to four kids, said they were seeking $200,000 for a 10% stake in their company.

That s why one Gilbert couple created a portable handwashing system - and it s landing them on ABC s hit competition show Shark Tank.
Cindy and Gabe Trevizo invented Suds2Go, three years ago. It looks like a water bottle, but it also has a special compartment to keep foam soap and it allows you to dispense the soap onto your hands.
What is Suds2Go?
Preloaded with soap, SudsCaps can fit any disposable water bottle and turn it into a portable washing system for hands. Do you have a health-conscious family? Suds2Go is for you! Moreover, if your children are outgoing or sports players, this will come in handy.
A combination of water bottle and foaming soap dispenser, Suds2Go might actually far more effective than hand sanitizer because it not only removes bacteria but dirt and grease too. Covid-19 pandemic turned out to be a boon for the pair as their sales skyrocketed during that time as more people became aware of the need to wash hands frequently.
