I remember my stepmother always had the most beautiful fingernails. They were so long and rock hard. She never did much with them but put on a coat of polish every now and again, then she didn't give them a second thought. If Pinterest had been around back then, I would have spent hours painting up her nails in some of those fancy designs all the girls are doing over there. I've never bothered learning how they do it for myself because my fingernails are the exact opposite. They are weak, flimsy and break very easily. Any little task I use my nails on is a gamble if they will withstand the pressure, or if they will chip and break. Before I was offered a chance to review a new product called Scrigit, I never realized how much I actually use my fingernails as scrapers every day!
The Scrigit Scraper was inspired by the inventor's mother, who, like my stepmother, had very sturdy long fingernails that she used to clean small spots off of household surfaces or clean out grooves. Since there are many who don't possess those strong nails, like myself, the idea of replicating the cleaning power and handiness brought forth the design for the Scrigit Scraper. (The name is a combination of scraper and digit, like your finger. Pretty clever!)
About the size of a pen, the Scrigit has 2 sides; a flat edge and a rounded one. The flat edge is great for:
• Flat Surfaces
• Tight Edges
• Plumbing Putty
• Shower Door Tracks
I have used this end to scrape off dried food from my kitchen surfaces, to scrape out crumbs that get stuck between the counter and the stove or refrigerator, and those sticky messes every mom finds stuck to the floors.

| It scooped that sticky gunk right off the floor! Just wipe it off with a tissue and continue on with your day! |
• Curved Surfaces
• Smaller Spots
• Crevices
• Sinks and Toilets
• Labels & Tape
There are so many handy ways to use the Scrigit Scraper for cleaning around the house and in your car. Use them on dried food, wax, grime, adhesive labels, stickers and tape, craft and DIY projects. I know I really could have used the scraper when we were painting our laundry room! My fingernails took a beating when I used them to scrape off every little paint drip from the floors and every other surface I splattered it on. I love the extra little overhang in the center of the Scrigit. It makes it easy to attach it onto my pocket when I am starting my daily cleaning chores, so I always have it available! Or, just keep one stashed in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry area, or anywhere there is high dirt traffic so you'll always have one handy!
The Scrigit Scraper is available at Amazon in a 2-pack ($6.99) and a 5-pack ($9.99). If you would like to learn more, be sure to visit the Scrigit website. Also, stay up to date on new products and promotions by liking Scrigit on Facebook.

I need this in my life. It's so simple, but what a BRILLIANT idea.
ReplyDeletewell, that seems rather practical! You can use it for scraping birds' poop of your car too :)
ReplyDeleteI agree very practical! With kids it would really come in handy!
DeleteOnly you would think of that ;) I'll remember to stash one in the car just for bird poop emergencies lol
DeleteThis is one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas. What a great tool!!
ReplyDeleteI am one of those lucky ones with hard nails! But there are still times when even my nails won't do the trick--like getting the paper off medicine bottles or that pesky little plastic type seal that they put around some thongs to keep anyone from tampering with it! This sounds like it just might work for that as well.
ReplyDeleteI've never really had a convenient way of scraping up things like that before. I'd make good use of the Scrigit.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea. Sad for me though - I have no nails to speak of. I break nails on a daily basis when I work with my son.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty gadget! I so need this for my kids, they are so messy! This would so help!
ReplyDeleteI do need those because I actually do use my fingernails for quite a lot of things. This would surely save them :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really awesome! I don't want to ruin my nails scraping things.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect for everyday things. My fingernails, or lack there of, work pretty well though
ReplyDeleteWhat! Wow , ok I need to find these, these look really neat. I know a couple ways I could use this
ReplyDeleteGosh I chew mine before they ever break. LOL My teen daughter could use this though, her nails break easily sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI learned:
ReplyDeleteWhat can I do when the scraper ends get dull?
Either end of the Scrigit Scraper can be restored to its original condition by using an emery board or very fine sandpaper.
Oh my that would come in so handy at home and at work.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I use Bic pen caps. Ha!
ReplyDeleteMy husband uses those to chew on. Ewww!
DeleteI like that you can even use this on plexiglass and regular glass.
ReplyDeleteWell I have to say that is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I bet you could find all kids of uses for them in the craft room!
DeleteSuch a simple way to make your life a bit easier!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! I can think of a million things to use one of these for!

ReplyDeleteI could really use one of these. I didn't even know they had such a product.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! My worst problem with my nails is my picking habit .... wish I could break it but haven't yet. :(
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a handy tool! I better get me one
ReplyDelete"On automobile windows, bird droppings and bugs hit while driving can be difficult to remove. Fingernails are not a desirable option." This sold me on the Scrigit! I hate clean the car windows and I hate using my nails to clean the car windows even more! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteI learned that "The Scrigit name is meant to be a fun and distinctive word that comes from the shortening of scraper and digit (another name for a finger)."
ReplyDeleteI like that it is safe to use on most household and automotive surfaces, including Plexiglas® windows.

ReplyDeletewear and tear on my fingernails.
I love that it has both flat and rounded tips for different jobs. It's sized perfectly too!
