Benefits of technology

[0011]The term micro fiber is based on the size of a fiber measuring below 1.0 denier (the diameter or fineness of a continuous or filament fiber) The lower denier of a fiber, the finer the fiber, which in turn is more effective for cleaning surfaces.
[0012]The splitting of the fiber creates millions of edges that enable you to clean closer to surfaces and trap all the dust and dirt that bonds to the micro fiber material and this material is not released until the cloth is washed in hot water. Therefore the dirt is not transferred from surface to surface while cleaning. Also, micro f

Problems solved by technology

Some of the related art which is available is U.S. Pat. No. 4,977,637, Demers, “magnetic window cleaning apparatus”, which although is a means for cleaning the inside and outside of a window at the same time by the use of magnets, neither does it use micro fiber cloths nor are the magnets flexible, making the device impractical for any curved surface.
This device also does not employ the use

Example

[0023]Applicant's invention can clean the inside and outside window at the same time, save time and work, by means of ultra strong magnets. In a preferred embodiment there is a first housing 10 with at least one magnet and a second housing 30 with a material that is attracted to a magnet or a magnetic member.

[0024]In a preferred embodiment as seen in FIG. 7 there is a base layer 11 which is comprised of an outer surface 12 and an inner surface 13. The outer surface 12 contacts a glass or other material to be cleaned. The base layer is preferably a micro fiber material. A second layer is made up of a flexible magnetic sheet 14. The flexible magnetic sheet may be of any suitable magnetic strength. Preferably, the magnetic sheet should be as strong as possible. One preferred magnetic sheet is a magnetic sheet sold by Rochester Magnet of East Rochester, N.Y. This flexible magnet withstands cracking at 68° F. while wrapped around a 0.5″ diameter rod. Other flexible magnets are also suita...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a cleaning system having a first member and a second member. The system is particularly suitable for cleaning glass and other surfaces particularly where both sides of the glass are to be cleaned together. The first and second member are preferably flexible and have a flexible magnetic member and a microfiber cleaning surface

Description

[0001]This application claims priority on U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 918,817, filed on Mar. 19, 2007 the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of window cleaning and washing, more specifically devices useful for washing both sides of a window at the same time. The present invention uses a unique means including micro fiber based cleaning pads and sheets and magnets to clean both sides of a window at a single time.BACKGROUND[0003]Window cleaning is a difficult and challenging task. Cleaning the outside pane of a window is much more difficult then the inside, especially windows on the second floor or higher. Cleaning both sides of a window at the same time would make for an ideal situation. This would reduce the time required and the amount of effort. In particular, for windows above the first floor this would eliminate the need to use a ladder to reach higher floo...
