Embodiment Construction

[0014] The present invention will now be described in detail in accordance with the drawings. Illustration and description of components are omitted where not necessary for one skilled in the art to understand the present invention.

[0015]FIG. 1 shows a multi-purpose mitt (mitt) 10 according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The mitt 10 includes a cotton base 12 (FIG. 5) including a front portion 14 and a back portion (not shown). The mitt 10 also includes a hand insertion collar 16, and is covered on both of its front and back portions by microfiber loops 18, which are each part of a microfiber loop chiffon (chiffon), such as the chiffon 20 in FIG. 4, that is sewn onto the front portion 14 and the back portion (not shown). It should be understood that only the front portion 14 of the mitt 10 is shown for ease of illustration, and that the back portion, while not shown, is essentially a mirror image of the front portion 14, and includes a microfiber loop chiffon ...

Abstract

A multi-purpose mitt includes microfiber loop chiffons sewn to the front and back portions of a cotton base so that, in general, adjacent edges of the microfiber loop chiffons are approximately 0.5 inch apart from one another. The multi-purpose mitt provides increased microfiber loop exposure to an area to be cleaned, and therefore greater capability for accumulating and retaining larger quantities of dirt, dust, pollen and other contaminants. At the same time, the multi-purpose mitt of the present invention with the above described configuration is configured with a microfiber loop density that provides a high degree of water absorbency.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to wash and cleaning mitts, and specifically to a multi-purpose mitt covered with microfiber loops in a manner that maximizes the number of microfiber loops that can be exposed for contact with a surface to be cleaned, and in a manner that also maximizes the absorbency of the mitt. [0002] Wash mitts are commonly used for cleaning exterior surfaces such as the bodies of cars and trucks. A user can dip such a wash mitt into a soapy solution so that the mitt absorbs some of the solution, and can then apply the solution via the mitt to portions of a surface to be cleaned. However, conventional wash mitts are made of material, such as terry cloth or cotton, that limits the mitts in both their durability and absorbency. [0003] Cleaning mitts for cleaning, polishing and / or dusting dry surfaces may also be made from the above mentioned materials. However, if the material on the outer surface of such a mitt is too dense, the am...
