AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a cleaning device that can be used as both a cleaning apparatus and a trash receptable. The device has a pull element that can be used to tighten the cleaning device around a user's hand, and when done cleaning, the user can pull the glove opening, turn around the cleaning device and use the pull element to close the cleaning device. The cleaning device has an absorbing material and the pre-moistened wipe extend to an entire surface area of the first side of the glove such that the entire side of the cleaning portion is covered with a pre-moistened wipe and absorbing material, allowing for an extended cleaning surface area. The pull element can help seal the cleanup inside the cleaning device.

Problems solved by technology

In markets today, there are very limited products offered for cleaning a surface with a pre-moistened wipe without having a user's hand contaminated with either the product of the wipe or the spill and dirt of the surface to be cleaned.

In addition, most wipes on the market, either dry or pre-moistened can be hard to use when a user wants to gather and collect the dirt and / or spill at the end of the cleaning.

In fact, usually a broom or vacuum cleaner is required to first collect the dirt, then a wipe is typically used afterwards since most single wipes are not absorbent enough for regular spills.

These cleaning liquids and cleansers can be detrimental to users with dry or sensitive skin.

The cleansers' chemical content may cause rashes, skin dryness or other skin conditions.

Even routine contact with water caused by regular dish washing can cause dry skin.

Although traditional gloves can protect the hands, it is often difficult to clean with bulky gloves and they don't always provide the required cleaning functionality.

And even when cleaning gloves are more flexible and offer better prehensility, the cleaning functionalities are typically limited, and one cannot easily clean up dirt and messes with cleaning gloves alone.

However, there is currently nothing on the market that provides a form fitting glove that can be worn on a user's hand to help with cleaning without contaminating a user's hand with either the cleaning solution used to moisten the wipe or the dirt and spill to be collected.

Currently, there are no useful alternatives that effectively assist a user clean surfaces without contaminating a user's hand and also serves as a trash receptacle or container.
