History- The Original Gutter Critter

Born from the passion of a surfer and environmentalist, the Gutter Critter has a remarkable story. Ken Beckstead, the innovator behind this ingenious creation, was driven by a simple yet powerful desire – to protect our oceans and waterways from the harmful effects of pollution.

This innovative tool empowered everyday citizens to take charge of their environmental impact, preventing oil, grease, and other contaminants from entering storm drains during car washes and other outdoor cleaning activities.

But Ken's vision extended beyond individual households. Recognizing the potential for broader impact, he entrusted Faythworx with the mission to bring the Gutter Critter technology to professionals and businesses worldwide.

Today, Faythworx proudly carries the torch, offering this groundbreaking solution to power washing contractors, retailers, and restaurants. We've adapted and enhanced the original design, making it even more effective and accessible for a variety of cleaning applications. Now, everyone from local businesses to large-scale cleaning operations can utilize the same technology trusted by cities and counties to keep our storm drains and waterways clean.

Meanwhile, Ken continues his environmental crusade with the inspiring Butts to Watts program, transforming discarded cigarette butts into clean energy. It's a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration in creating a cleaner, healthier planet.
