I am Amber Bourque, the inventor and creator of DrumCare360 by BacJac. It all started on that fateful day, Friday, March 13, 2020, when the world shut down due to COVID-19. My children had friends sleeping over, completely unaware of how much our world was about to change. We were happy that school was postponed for a few weeks, giving us time to enjoy life together. There was lots of fun, swimsuits, towels, and then, inevitably, the need to do laundry.

At midnight, when everyone was asleep, I went to load another batch of clothes into our front-load washing machine. Suddenly, water started spilling from the bottom front left of the machine. It was clear the machine needed to be cleaned. Tired and frustrated, I had to clean up the excess water immediately. I decided to wipe the rubber gasket and remove debris with my finger and an antibacterial wipe, and of course, I cut my finger as usual.

That night, I went to bed determined to create a tool that could clean behind the rubber gasket safely and effectively. Weeks turned into months as our entire family remained at home, and my creativity kicked into overdrive.

The name BacJac comes from my kids’ initials because they are the ones I am always cleaning for. Ironically, the key to removing the smelly buildup lies behind the back of the gasket. This inspired the clever phrase: "Get behind the back, Jack." Combining their initials and this slogan gave birth to the brand—BacJac, with the motto: Clean Behind the BacJac!

DrumCare360 by BacJac was created with families like mine in mind—designed to make washing machine maintenance easy, safe, and effective for every household.
