Benefits of technology

This patent describes a waterproof sponge that can be used to clean dishes and other surfaces. The sponge is designed to support a disposable cleaning sleeve made of paper or cloth. The sleeve can be used repeatedly or until it is thoroughly soiled. The sponge is effective at scrubbing stubborn food stains and other deposits from surfaces, making it a useful addition to any cleaning arsenal. The sponge can be folded or closed using adhesives, and may be designed with closed loop abrasive properties to improve its cleaning performance.

Problems solved by technology

All sponges suffer from one common defect and that is that they collect and hold, in the cavities of the typical sponge food particles and dirt which have been cleaned up using the sponge.
As a result, most kitchen sponges will quickly become contaminated and will no longer pass the household sniff test for a sanitary sponge.
