The answer became the solution for millions of households.

The Problem

In his daily contact with customers, Oliver Rokitta was repeatedly asked about an annoying problem: rust stains on cutlery—despite high-quality dishwashers.

There was no simple, reliable solution.

But the idea was born.

The Idea to solve the Problem

What if you could simply catch rust before it sets in?

Oliver began researching, testing, and designing. The solution had to work without chemicals, be easy to use, and be suitable for every household.

Appearence on Shark Tank in Germany

With his finished prototype and a lot of conviction, Oliver presented Rust Guard on the German Television start-up show “Die Höhle der Löwen” (Shark Tank).

His pitch was convincing – the product immediately became a talking point and shot to prominence.

First Shelf presence in Retail in Germany

Following its success on TV, Rust Guard was professionally produced, packaged, and launched on the market.

Retailers snapped it up, and end customers also enthusiastically ordered Rust Guard.

Sustainable and growing Success

What began as a simple idea is now a staple product in millions of households.

Over 10 million units sold in Europe speak for themselves—and show what can happen when you listen carefully.

First Step into Korea

Rust Guard entered South Korea – one of the world’s most advanced home appliance markets.

Together with an exclusive retail partner, we launched our first campaign with local influencers. Within weeks, thousands of households discovered the simple solution against rust in their dishwashers.

Korea became the gateway for Rust Guard’s global journey.

The next big milestone: the United States.

From now on, Rust Guard is also available in the U.S. – making everyday dishwashing easier, cleaner, and rust-free.

Our mission: To bring the original Rust Guard to households across America!
