Soilkind was the original called mykalea, somehow it rebrand as Soilkind and under Karcher. The origin website mykalea.de(https://www.mykalea.de) is now not accessible.

It's always not easy for innovation, and we hope soilkind and make a success and the Kickstarter backers can get satisfied eventually.
