TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] This invention relates to cleaning and sanitationBACKGROUND ART
[0002] Scouring Pads; Scraper Blades; Towels.DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
[0003] The present invention is a towel with a permanently affixed scouring pad, known hereon after as the abrasive element, preferably attached at one of the corners of the towel. The scouring pad comprises a scraper blade, known hereon after as the scraping element, permanently affixed to one of the edges or corners of the scouring pad. Currently, there exists towels, but none that have an additional abrasive element, allowing the user to clean surfaces with more efficiency. The towel's added abrasive element will allow the user to get rid of harder to remove substances such as dirt, food, stains, etcetera from surfaces. The scraping element will allow the user to get rid of the hardest substances. Currently, on the market and available to the public are towels, but none with an added abrasive element or scraping element.

The present invention places a scouring pad, the abrasive element, permanently affixed to a towel. The scouring pad comprises a scraper blade, the scraping element. This allows the user to clean with more efficiency by allowing the user to get rid of harder to remove substances from surfaces while also allowing the user to wipe down or clean surface with the towel.
[0005] While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that modifications can be made to the structure and elements of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as a whole.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
