PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Podsy won the MMR Buyers Choice Award for its Cleaning Pods at ECRM’s Household Cleaning, Paper & Disposable Food Storage Session, held earlier this month in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. SneakERASERS was a finalist for its Pre-Moistened Singles footwear cleaning product.
Both products were selected from dozens of entries submitted by participating suppliers and displayed in the hospitality area of the Session. Attending buyers evaluated each entry and cast their votes based on product packaging and innovation.
“This year’s winning companies created unique solutions to common cleaning problems,” said Tony Giovanini, SVP of General Merchandise for ECRM. “Podsy makes household cleaning simpler while reducing plastic waste, while SneakERASERS developed innovative portable products for the cleaning needs of everyday items. Congratulations to both winners.”
Podsy started with a simple question: Why are we still paying to ship water? With over 15 years of commercial cleaning experience, the brand set out to make home cleaning smarter, lighter, and less wasteful. The result is Podsy — a refillable system that ditches the plastic-heavy clutter and delivers pro-level clean in a simple, planet-friendly pod.
Each of Podsy’s Cleaning Pods dissolve in water to create a powerful cleaner — no mess, no measuring, no single-use bottles. Users just drop it in, fill up, and spray away. For retailers, they were developed to be shelf-friendly, margin-friendly, and do not require a sustainability lecture to sell, according to the company. For shoppers, they are easy to use, safe for families and pets, and eliminate empty plastic bottles in the trash. Each pod replaces up to four traditional spray bottles.
SneakERASERS is committed to making cleaning simpler, faster, and more satisfying across everyday routines. Founded by two passionate entrepreneurs, the company offers a suite of innovative, on-the-go cleaning solutions, including SneakERASERS (sneaker care), AutoERASERS (car detailing), GolfERASERS (golf club maintenance), and PurseWIPES (accessory care). Each product is designed to deliver instant results without the mess, harsh chemicals, or complicated steps of traditional cleaning methods.
SneakERASERS Pre-Moistened Singles were developed to be the ultimate on-the-go shoe cleaner. Its individually wrapped, pre-moistened sponge delivers instant results without the mess or hassle of traditional kits. No sprays, no water needed, no extra steps. Users just open, swipe, and watch scuffs, dirt, and grime disappear in seconds.
Each sponge features a dual-sided design: the white side lifts dirt and marks from rubber soles and tough surfaces, while the orange shammy side gently buffs and wipes away residue for a clean, polished finish. Compact enough to fit in a pocket, purse, gym bag, or glove box, SneakERASERS Pre-Moistened Singles are ideal for travel, events, or everyday emergencies when shoes need a quick refresh. The brand has been featured on Shark Tank, Good Morning America, and Forbes, and can be found at leading retailers like Costco, Target, Walmart and Amazon.
Next year’s ECRM Household Cleaning, Paper & Disposable Food Storage Session will be held May 3-5, 2026. Location to be announced soon.
