Cleaning Mitt

Abstract

A cleaning mitt for receiving a hand of a user to clean and wipe flat and irregular surfaces is provided. The cleaning mitt includes first ply member attached a second ply member to form an interior volume, and a recessed opening that allows access to the interior volume. The interior volume is partitioned by a divider into a finger receiving region and a thumb receiving region. A webbed region is formed between the finger and thumb receiving region. Some embodiments include a cleaning mitt constructed from a fluid absorbing material. In alternative embodiments, the cleaning mitt further includes a textured region having an abrasive pad and one or more protruding members positioned on one of the ply members for removing dirt and debris. In other embodiments, the cleaning mitt contains a perforation line that forms a breakable attachment to a second cleaning mitt.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a cleaning mitt that can be used for cleaning various surfaces with flat or irregular shapes. The mitt has a body with a first ply member and a second ply member forming an opening and an interior volume. One of the ply members may include a cleaning agent, such as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents, disposed therein or theron. The body has a divider that separates the interior volume of the body into a finger receiving region and a thumb receiving region. The cleaner includes a textured surface for cleaning and has a large interior volume for cleaning various surfaces. The cleaning mitt utilizes a cleaning agent for disinfecting or wiping surfaces. The technical effects of this invention are improved cleaning efficiency and convenience for users.

Problems solved by technology

However, these devices face serious deficiencies when cleaning surfaces of varying shapes and sizes.

Standard cleaning pads, for example, do not allow for the necessary dexterity and versatility that many cleaning tasks require.

These known devices typically require a user to manually grasp a portion of the cleaning pad causing the pad to become contaminated and a less effective cleaning surface.

However, Glenn fails to disclose a divider that partitions the interior volume configured to receive a user's hand and fails to provide a recessed opening for grasping the cleaning mitt.

In addition, none of the aforementioned devices provides a cleaning mitt having a first ply member affixed to a second ply member to form an opening and interior volume configured to receive a hand of a user, wherein the interior volume is partitioned by a divider into a thumb receiving portion and a finger receiving portion.
