You want the people you’re designing spaces for to get the most out of them. But standard sink heights put handwashing out of reach for children, little people and anyone under 4’8”.

We surveyed 550 parents.
89% of parents say sinks are too high for their kids.
Short stature isn’t covered by ADA regulations (yet), so little people and children are rarely accommodated.
Lifting my child up to wash their hands is awkward and unsafe.
Counters are too wet or unhygienic to sit my child on to reach the sink
My child is getting too heavy for me to lift.
It’s stressful to manage handwashing when you have more than one kid, a shopping cart, bags, etc.
Water gets everywhere!
My child wants to be independent and wash their hands on their own.

Not just inaccessible, but unsafe
Working around inaccessible sinks is putting little people, children and parents at risk.
Balancing precariously, jumping, lifting and kid-wrangling is stressful and can be dangerous and messy. More water on the floor means more chances of slips and falls.
You might be concerned that a step stool could introduce hazards, but Step ‘n Wash and its thoughtful design actually helps to reduce them.
I love to find ways to go above and beyond what is minimally required by ADA standards, and Step ‘n Wash is an easy way to do this.
The product and the story that goes with it are just so good."

Exceed everyone’s expectations with the world’s safest step stool
Improve restroom accessibility for your clients and their customers with a simple step
Space- and cost-effective
You can specify Step ‘n Wash under most regular counters and sinks where there is a separate wheelchair-accessible bay. It doesn’t require any extra space or alterations - and doesn’t block plumbing access.
Because its upright position is behind the edge of the sink or counter, it won't be in the way when it's not being used.
With a lifespan of 10+ years, Step ‘n Wash is an affordable way to improve sink accessibility - without compromising on quality or safety.
Easy and safe to use
Most people intuitively understand how to use Step ‘n Wash. For those who don’t, there are clear instructions on the product sticker.
There’s no need for users or caregivers to touch the step with their hands: simply pulling it down with a foot keeps things hygienic. When there’s no weight on it, the step retracts automatically to its upright position.
A ridged marine-grade rubber tread runs right to the edges to prevent slips, even when it's wet.
CASE STUDY
Darden includes
Step ‘n Wash in their restaurant remodels.
"Being of service" and "Inclusion" are core values to Darden Restaurants. So when they started on planned remodels for Olive Garden locations, it made sense to include Step 'n Wash.
A massively positive response from customers led Darden to start rolling out Step 'n Wash to Longhorn Steakhouse and Yard House locations, too.
Your clients will be impressed.
Their customers will be delighted.
Step 'n Wash is packed with thoughtful features that make it safe, durable, discreet and easy to use
Stainless construction
Solid stainless steel will not corrode, rust, discolor, stain or show scuffmarks. It’s easy to clean and sanitize and will look great, even decades later. Brushed stainless also harmonizes with many other restroom fixtures.
Marine-grade rubber tread
Completely slip-proof with ridges for extra grip, even when wet. The tread runs right to the edges of the step so that slightly misplaced feet are safe too.
Concealed gas spring
A gas spring provides controlled, safe movement that reduces wear and tear on the hinges. It’s hidden within the structure to minimize moving parts. The spring can be easily replaced in minutes, usually after 2-3 years.
Neutral design
Brushed stainless seamlessly matches with other restroom fixtures. The small footprint takes up little visual and physical space. Tucked under the counter or sink when upright, it’s unobtrusive. The overall design is not infantilizing and has wide appeal.
Self-retracting
Step ‘n Wash gently and automatically returns to its upright position when there is no weight on the step. It’s out of the way when not needed. And because it is anchored securely to the floor behind the counter edge, it’s not a tripping hazard.
Low maintenance
Cleaning of and around Step ‘n Wash is simple. Water and grime can not collect beneath it. It does not obstruct simple sink maintenance and can be fully removed in minutes for more extensive plumbing work.
