Portable Handwashing

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Cindy Trevizo, owner of Suds2Go LLC., located in Gilbert, AZ, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Suds2Go is a revolutionary product that allows active individuals and families to bring real handwashing capabilities anywhere they go. As the world's first mobile handwashing systems, our customers can ditch the sanitizer and wipes for real soap and water on all of their adventures. We have two different systems that are both simple to use and just as effective as washing your hands at your kitchen sink!

Tell us about yourself

I am a mother of four young children, and our family is very active in the outdoors. We love to spend time camping, fishing, and exploring. We often found ourselves out and about and needed to wash our hands but with no solution to do it. Sure we had wipes and sanitizers, but they don't do the job like soap and water. Plus, we didn't like the harshness of sanitizers. We were fed up with the lack of options for our family, and Suds2Go was born!

We are motivated by not only helping people by providing an easy and efficient solution to clean hands anywhere, but we also love encouraging others to get outdoors, get their hands dirty, and explore nature.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The biggest accomplishment for Suds2Go to date has been Shark Tank! We were able to pitch to the Sharks in August of 2020. We aired on the show in April of 2021. It was an amazing experience, but it wasn't an easy road. It is so hard to bring a product from conception to market, and I still get super excited every time someone chooses to buy a Suds2Go product.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Right now, it's having to wear multiple hats. My husband and I still run the business day-to-day. We are a small team, but we are a growing business. We are still navigating growth and experiencing new obstacles daily. One day it might be logistics, the next, it's marketing, and customer service is always a focus for us.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Stay focused. It's easy to be distracted. Make sure to map out your path and work on it daily.
Surround yourself with positive people/supporters. Starting a business is A LOT of work and can be lonely. Make sure you are getting positive support from your inner circle.
Be realistic. Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither will your business be. Enjoy the small wins, learn from your failures and enjoy steady, realistic growth. Before you know it, you will be miles from where you started.
