Marcel Villeneuve’s toilet seat just wouldn’t stay up. He found it difficult to keep the seat up while using the restroom or cleaning the toilet and the thought of touching the toilet every time was a hygienic concern. So, Marcel put on his thinking cap, called InventHelp, and invented the Toilet Seat Holder, originally called The Third Hand. The Toilet Seat Holder is a plastic clip that attaches to the toilet tank and rotates over an upright seat to securely hold the seat in position. To release the seat, simply rotate the hook away from the seat. The Toilet Seat Holder makes cleaning a toilet bowl easier, prevents messy accidents, and assists men while using the restroom. InventHelp was able to help Mr. Villeneuve receive a patent for his product. The inventor provided InventHelp with inventory of his product and the Toilet Seat Holder is available on the InventHelp Store. It is currently the best-selling product on the website. It is also available for purchase on Amazon. “It was very shocking to me how many people have problems with their toilet seats falling down, ” said InventHelp’s Intromark Managing Director Ronny Smith. “The high amount of sales from this InventHelp product have proven that people are looking for an easy, economic way to make their toilet seat work without having to buy a new one.”

Spring is here, and you know what that means – it’s time for spring cleaning! One area that is always hard to reach and harder to clean is a ceiling fan. It always seems that dust falls everywhere, covering your room and making a mess. FanBlade Cleaner, an InventHelp client product, can assist homeowners in cleaning their ceiling fan simply by slipping it on and off the fan blades. FanBlade Cleaner captures the dust, ensuring there’s no mess. Made of plush polyesterpolyamide microfiber, it is designed like a sack with an elasticized top. “I was tired of having the dust fall onto the furniture and floor below when I cleaned my ceiling fans, ” said Brian O’Neil, inventor of the FanBlade Cleaner. “I wanted to find a way to keep the dust contained.” O’Neil came to InventHelp with inventory of his invention and wanted help in furthering his product. We’re pleased to say that Intromark Incorporated, InventHelp’s sister licensing company, was able to get the the FanBlade Cleaner added to the product listing in the largest mail order catalog company in the world, Starcrest Products of California. Starcrest sells a wide variety of products online and through their catalog, including household items, clothing & accessories, children’s items, and health & beauty. FanBlade Cleaner is also available on Amazon and is consistently one of the best-selling InventHelp products on the site. Additionally, FanBlade Cleaner can be found on the InventHelp Store.

Previously, the SideSleeper Pro, an InventHelp licensed client product, was available in Bed, Bath & Beyond stores across the country. Recently, Allstar Products Group LLC, the company that licensed the pillow revamped the product and developed an updated version, filled with air beads. The Side Sleeper Pro Air can now be seen in new TV ads running across the country. “We are pleased that one of our client’s products was on the shelves of one of the largest home and housewares chains in the country. Due to the life cycle of products, we’re excited that the product has taken on another form and has a new opportunity for sales, ” said Nicole Lininger, Director of Communications for InventHelp. “The InventHelp client, Larry Cole, a doctor of chiropractics, designed the SideSleeper Pro so people would be trained to sleep in the best position possible in order to avoid twisting the neck and spine while sleeping.” The pillow has a unique ear hole that serves two purposes; the ear does not fold over itself as it does with conventional pillows and secondly, the ear fits in the ear hole while the pillow is in the correct position, allowing the neck and spine to remain in a line. This reduces strain on the spine, neck, and upper and lower back. Because of this support, a person wakes up more rested and energetic. The license was originally signed with Integrated Merchandise Group International (IMG), of Mamaroneck, N.Y. Subsequently, IMG and InventHelp signed an agreement with Allstar Products Group for national retail distribution and direct response television sales. Allstar is the marketer of well known “As Seen on TV” products, such as the Snuggie®, Topsy Turvy® and Bumpits®. The product has previously been featured and sold on QVC, and was highlighted in a Wall Street Journal article about inventions and innovation. The SideSleeper Pro was sold at Altmeyers, Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Kmart. Past direct response and retail sales have reached more than $6 million. IMG and Allstar Products Group, LLC, are both members of the InventHelp Data Bank and have agreed to feature InventHelp’s Caveman logo on each SideSleeper Pro and Side Sleeper Pro Airpackage. Initially, IMG and its partners created an infomercial and ran it as a test on television.
