Hatano Seisakusho's AiR JOKER Bathroom Device Opens Crowdfunding On September 16
The pitch rests on the maker's own August survey of 1,000 married parents, which found cleaning harder does not solve mold and that 58.3 percent of anti-mold product buyers quit using them, so the product is sold as a low-effort routine rather than a stronger chemical.

Hatano Seisakusho, the Osaka maker of bath fittings, will open a CAMPFIRE crowdfunding project for AiR JOKER on September 16. The device electrolyzes a teaspoon of salt and tap water into electrolyzed hypochlorous water, spraying it as mist about twice a month for roughly 25 minutes to suppress mold. Planned general price is 29,810 yen, with backer-only early-bird pricing.
The device is the second in the JOKER line, after the 2019 bath washer, and moves from a floating unit to a stationary one placed in the bathroom. It weighs about 1.4 kg and stands about 290 mm tall, made at the company's own factory in Izumi, Osaka. A second mode dispenses the generated water through a hose into a commercial spray bottle of around 300 mL, for tables, door handles, toilets, and pet odors. Hatano Seisakusho notes AiR JOKER suppresses mold growth and does not remove mold that has already appeared.
