Stikee-Stik was invented by a custodial worker who found his vacuum cleaner broken and had to still clean the carpets. He wrapped tape around his hand like many of us have, and started to clean the carpets. But in that position it hurt his knees and his back. He needed a handle, that could attach to something that holds the sticky surface. There he went on to clean the floors and pick up anything he wanted to. This new invention was called Stikee-stik. Thanks to the magic of tape. This new invention will have many uses and be very helpful for many people. -Gary B
