BPTTS.OOIWO PATENTDUAL-SURFACED EXFOLIATING AND CLEANSING CLOTHINCORPORATION BY REFERENCE TO ANY PRIORITY APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 694,475, the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety and is hereby expressly made a portion of this applicationField of the Disclosure

[0002] This disclosure relates to a cloth for exfoliating and cleansing, and more specifically, to dual-surfaced cloths comprising synthetic and / or natural fibers for use in personal hygiene, dermatological care, and surface cleansing applications.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] Awareness is growing regarding proper skin maintenance, product efficiency, and sustainability. Consumers and professionals have a need for hygiene products that are both effective and gentle, particularly for individuals with sensitive or problematic skin. The skincare market has offered a broad range of exfoliating tools such as loofahs, brushes, pumice stones, and synthetic mesh puffs. These traditional tools have significant drawbacks. Many exfoliating implements are either too abrasive or too ineffective, with some failing to remove dead skin and impurities adequately, while others irritate the skin or degrade rapidly after repeated use. Furthermore, conventional exfoliators such as loofahs or synthetic mesh pads often feature loose or flat netting that provides minimal friction or control, resulting in inadequate exfoliation or uneven removal of debris. Such products may also promote bacterial growth if not properly cleaned, and they frequently rely on materials that do not withstand repeated laundering, leading to premature breakdown.

[0004] Conventional exfoliators such as loofahs or synthetic mesh pads often feature loose or flat netting that provides minimal friction or control, resulting in inadequate exfoliation or uneven removal of debris. Such products may also promote bacterial growth if not properly cleaned, and they frequently rely on materials that do not withstand repeated laundering, leading to premature breakdown.

[0005] Therefore, there exists a need for a new type of exfoliating products that provides the gentleness of soft fabric, resists microbial buildup, withstands long-term use, and simplifies the hygiene and skincare process through true dual functionality.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0006] The present disclosure provides a textile-based skincare tool specifically designed to offer both exfoliation and gentle cleansing through a two-in-one dual-sided cloth construction. The cloth comprises two integrated surfaces. The first is a knotted nylon mesh with engineered interlocking knots that form a raised, three-dimensional structure used to exfoliate the skin through a rolling, frictional motion; the second is a soft, absorbent textile surface designed to remove loosened impurities and clean the skin without stripping it of essential moisture or causing irritation.

[0007] In a first embodiment, the two-in-one exfoliating cloth features a first side composed of a knotted nylon mesh designed to provide targeted, gentle exfoliation, and a second side including a soft, absorbent fabric intended for sensitive-skin-safe cleansing. The cloth addresses deficiencies in personal care tools by delivering both high-performance exfoliation and gentle cleansing within a single, durable, and reusable article. The disclosure further relates to the manufacturing methods, materials compositions, and varied applications of this cloth across medical, personal, institutional, and household environments.

[0008] In an aspect of the first embodiment, a knotted nylon side is engineered with interlocking knots, providing a controlled abrasive surface that effectively lifts dead skin cells, embedded dirt, sebum, and environmental pollutants from the outer skin layer. This textured structure is particularly effective in targeting and dislodging debris from rough or uneven skin surfaces such as those affected by keratosis pilaris, acne, eczema, or hyperpigmentation. The mesh's texture gently rolls over the skin, stimulating microcirculation that enhances cellular turnover, while minimizing the discomfort associated with traditional scrubbing tools.

[0009] On the opposite side of the cloth lies a soft-textured surface that performs a complementary function. The soft-textured surface is fabricated with a material selected for its hypoallergenic properties, high absorbency, and gentle contact with sensitive skin. The material of the soft-textured surface may be a natural bamboo-cotton blend or a synthetic microfiber. This surface ensures that residual dirt and exfoliated particles are removed withoutcompromising the skin barrier. By pairing exfoliation and cleansing in a single reusable article, the cloth eliminates the need for separate tools and streamlines skincare regimens.

[0010] The cloth is designed for long term use. The cloth may be machine washable, quick drying, and engineered to resist microbial growth. The standard dimensions may be approximately 12 x 12 inches, though the disclosure also encompasses variations in size, texture density, and fabric blend, enabling its adaptation to facial care, full-body use, and specialized clinical settings. The cloth may also be applied to non-personal uses, including cleaning of delicate surfaces in household or institutional environments where non-abrasive yet effective cleaning is needed.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] Some embodiments relate to a dual-sided cloth of FIGS. 1A-11 comprising a sheet of material having a first, or top, surface and a second, or bottom, surface (not shown). In some embodiments, the first surface is configured as a mild cleaning surface. In some embodiments, the first surface is composed of a water-absorbent fabric. In some embodiments, the first surface is composed is soft to the touch. In some embodiments, the first surface is a soft side 130 suitable for general washing and may be, for example, effective at generating a lather from a bar of soap. In some embodiments, the second surface or opposing surface may include exfoliating material. In some embodiments, the exfoliating material may exhibit a relatively abrasive surface texture suitable for scrubbing. In some embodiments, the abrasivesurface may include a mesh netting. In some embodiments, the abrasive surface may aid in the exfoliation of skin while still maintaining a relatively soft touch. In some embodiments, the mesh netting may be particularly effective at generating a lather from gel or liquid soaps. In some embodiments, the first surface and the second surface may be joined at their perimeter, for example, by being sewn together and finished with a cotton binding. In some embodiments, the first surface and the second surface may be joined at other portions of the dual-sided cloth 100 to provide additional support while still providing a gentle rolling motion over the skin, providing a soothing, massage-like experience during exfoliation.

[0049] In some embodiments, the dual-sided cloth as described herein may be provided with means for extending its reach. In some embodiments, the dual-sided cloth as described herein further allows a user to more easily clean and exfoliate their back and other hard-to-reach areas. In one embodiment, this is achieved by attaching fabric strings or handles to the edges or comers of the sheet. In some embodiments, these strings may be formed as loops, which provides the additional advantage of allowing the washcloth to be hung from a hook for drying.

[0050] In some embodiments, the form of the dual-sided cloth as described herein may be varied. In some embodiments, the dual-sided cloth is configured as a cleaning mitt. In some embodiments, the mitt body is configured to define a cavity of sufficient size to accommodate a human hand and includes a wrist member, such as an expandable cuff, to secure the mitt to a user's wrist. In some embodiments, one side of the mitt presents the soft, absorbent surface, while the other side presents the abrasive, exfoliating surface.

[0051] In some embodiments, the construction of the abrasive surface may also be varied to achieve different exfoliating textures. In one embodiment, the abrasive surface is created by tufting a plurality of densely packed, non-absorbent synthetic fibrillated yarns into a primary substrate. In some embodiments, these yarns may be of at least two different deniers, with heavier denier yarns providing a stiff, bristle-like scrubbing action and lighter denier yams providing flexibility and softness. In some embodiments, the yarns may be composed of polyolefin materials such as polypropylene or nylon.

[0052] In another manufacturing approach, the dual-sided cloth as described herein may be formed as a hydroentangled, composite fibrous matrix comprising multiple layers. A first outer layer of soft, cellulosic fibers (e.g., rayon) can provide the gentle cleansing surface,while a second outer layer comprising a blend of cellulosic and synthetic fibers (e.g., high- dcnicr PET) can provide the abrasive surface.

[0053] For the method of use, a user first applies the knotted mesh side to exfoliate target areas, using light, circular, or sweeping motions. The knots engage with the skin gently, dislodging dirt and keratin buildup without damaging the epidermis. After exfoliation, the user flips the dual-sided cloth as described herein to its soft side to remove loosened particles, clean residue, and prepare the skin for moisturizing or treatment.

[0054] The dual-sided cloth 100 of the present disclosure offers clinical advantages in treating numerous skin conditions. For individuals with acne, the dual-sided cloth 100 helps unclog pores and reduce the presence of dead skin cells and oils that contribute to breakouts. In cases of hyperpigmentation, regular exfoliation with dual-sided cloth 100 can accelerate cell turnover and reduce visible discoloration. Patients with keratosis pilaris, eczema, or psoriasis benefit from gentle yet effective removal of scaling or rough patches without irritation. Additionally, the product has shown efficacy in reducing ingrown hairs by freeing trapped follicles and smoothing the skin’s texture.

[0055] Durability is another aspect of the dual-side cloth. Unlike traditional loofahs or synthetic puffs that degrade over time and harbor bacteria, dual- sided cloth 100 is designed for extensive reuse. Its materials are resistant to microbial growth and can withstand repeated laundering. The stitching pattern, as shown in FIGs. 1A-8B, ensures structural integrity and prevents fraying or knot unraveling. Users may launder dual-sided cloth 100 with standard wash cycles, and its quick-dry construction inhibits bacterial colonization between uses.

[0056] While a standard cloth may measure 12 x 12 inches, embodiments of the disclosure may include smaller facial cloths or larger bath sheets. In some embodiments, the width of the dual-sided cloth as described herein is greater than 12 inches (e.g., 16 inches, 20 inches, 24 inches, 28 inches, 32 inches, 36 inches, more than 36 inches, and any intervening values). In some embodiments, the width of the dual-sided cloth 100 is less than 12 inches (e.g., 8 inches, 4 inches, less than 4 inches, and any intervening values). In some embodiments, the length of the dual-sided cloth 100 is greater than 12 inches (e.g., 16 inches, 20 inches, 24 inches, 28 inches, 32 inches, 36 inches, more than 36 inches, and any intervening values). In some embodiments, the length of the dual-sided cloth as described herein is less than 12 inches (e.g., 8 inches, 4 inches, less than 4 inches, and any intervening values).

[0057] The dual-sided cloth as described herein may include reinforced edge stitching and color-coded surfaces for ease of use. Additionally, functional additives such as antimicrobial treatments, essential oil infusions, or UV-stabilized dyes may be incorporated during manufacturing.

[0058] In one embodiment, the dual-sided cloth as described herein comprises a square cloth approximately 12 12 inches in size, designed for general personal hygiene and skincare applications. In some embodiments, the knotted side as described herein of the dualsided cloth 100 features a tightly knotted nylon mesh structure including roughly 30% nylon fibers. In this embodiment, the knotted side as described herein is engineered with interlocking knots forming a uniform, raised three-dimensional mesh pattern that facilitates efficient and gentle exfoliation of the skin. The knots are spaced evenly across the surface, providing a textured abrasive layer that effectively dislodges dead skin cells, dirt, sebum, and other impurities without causing irritation.

[0059] In some embodiments, the opposite soft side 130 of the cloth is fabricated from a soft, breathable, and absorbent bamboo-cotton blend, accounting for approximately 70% of the dual-sided cloth 100 composition. This fabric is chosen for its natural hypoallergenic properties and ability to provide gentle cleansing suitable for sensitive skin types. It effectively removes debris and residual particles loosened by the knotted mesh side while preserving the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The dual-sided configuration allows users to alternate between exfoliation and cleansing in a single, convenient tool, streamlining their skincare routine.

[0060] In one embodiment, is the dual-sided cloth 100 is especially effective for treating common skin conditions such as acne, blackheads, and hyperpigmentation by combining exfoliation and cleansing without requiring multiple products. The durable construction supports repeated laundering. In this embodiment, the dual- sided cloth 100 provides users with highly sensitive or compromised skin, including those with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or severe acne the softness and effective exfoliation to clean without irritation or injury. In this embodiment, the knotted side 110 retains the knotted nylon mesh construction but uses a softer grade of nylon to minimize any potential abrasiveness while maintaining effective exfoliation. The knots are designed to be slightly smaller and lesspronounced to provide a gentler rolling exfoliation that encourages circulation without irritation.

[0061] In some embodiments, the opposite soft 130 side is made from ultra-fine microfiber fabric rather than a bamboo-cotton blend. This microfiber surface excels at trapping dirt, oils, and microscopic impurities while being exceptionally gentle on delicate skin. It also exhibits superior moisture-wicking properties, which helps maintain a hygienic environment on the cloth surface and supports faster drying after use.

[0062] In some embodiments, the dual-sided cloth 100 is provided for clinical or therapeutic applications, offering a balance between effective exfoliation and skin barrier protection. For example, the dual-sided cloth 100 is suitable for hospital settings, dermatology clinics, and home care environments where gentle yet thorough skin maintenance is ideal. In some embodiments, the dual-sided cloth 100 remains machine washable and durable, designed to withstand frequent sterilization cycles.

[0063] In another embodiment, the dual-sided cloth 100 is used in household and industrial cleaning applications. The weave density of the knotted side 110 comprises a nylon mesh modified to optimize removal of dirt, grease, and grime from various surfaces, including delicate countertops, glass, and stainless steel. In some embodiments, the knotted mesh retains the interlocking knot design but may be made from a thicker gauge nylon to increase durability and abrasion resistance against tougher materials.

[0064] In some embodiments, the opposite soft side 130 uses a more rugged microfiber or blended synthetic fabric for absorbing liquids and polishing surfaces without scratching. This dual-sided cloth 100 can simultaneously scrub stubborn dirt and wipe away residues, effectively combining two cleaning steps into one product. In this embodiment, the unique abrasiveness and softness combination for versatile household use, reducing the need for multiple cleaning tools. It also appeals to environmentally conscious consumers due to its reusability and reduced chemical cleaning agent dependency. Additionally, the cloth may be easy to clean and quick drying, suitable for repeated heavy-duty use in both residential and commercial settings.

The top view of the dual-sided cloth 300 with the knotted side 310 and the opposite soft side 330 (not shown) joined at the perimeter320 by a unitary interlocking edge seam. In this embodiment, the knotted side 310 and the opposite soft side 330 is formed by a complex matrix of interloped threads 370 which perform the dual functions of joining the plies and finishing the raw edges . In some embodiments, the seam 380 includes a penetrating stitch component that passes through the knotted side 310 to the opposite soft side 330 inward of the edge, and an edge-wrapping component that casts threads around the co-located raw perimeter edges. In some embodiments, these components are interlocked, creating a single, stable seam 380 that prevents delamination and resists fraying without requiring one-textile ply to be folded over the other or the addition of a separate binding material. In some embodiments, the opposite soft side 330 does not wrap around the perimeter 320 of the two cloths, rather, the material along the border comprises a third material distinct from the knotted side 310 and the opposite soft side 330. In some embodiments, the at least one knot 317 is regularly spaced and uniform in size in the structured knotted mesh 315 and can create a raised textured surface that facilitates the gentle rolling motion needed to dislodge dead skin cells and impurities from the epidermis.

[0066] FIG. 4A illustrates another embodiment of the dual-sided cloth 400. FIG. 4A illustrates the knotted side 410 of a dual-sided cloth 400. A plurality of stitches (not shown) is then passed through the folded portion of the opposite soft side 230 as shown in FIG. 4B and the knotted side 210, mechanically locking the two layers together along the perimeter 420. In this embodiment, the construction provides a durable, fray-resistant edge, prevents delamination of the layers, and results in a finished article with enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal. The at least one knot 417 is regularly spaced and uniform in size in the structured knotted mesh 415 and can create a raised textured surface that facilitates the gentle rolling motion needed to dislodge dead skin cells and impurities from the epidermis.

[0067] FIG. 5A illustrates an embodiment of the dual-sided cloth 500. In some embodiments, a dual-sided cloth 500 can be manufactured in a round, circular, or oval shape.

[0071] Expanding further on the knotted mesh structure, FIGS. 9, 10, and 11 offer detailed perspective views that illustrate the three-dimensional topology of the mesh with varying knot spacing and configurations.

[0072] FIG. 9 illustrates a configuration where knots are spaced approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) apart, creating a medium texture optimized for general body exfoliation. The mesh’s raised knots ensure sufficient contact with skin to roll and exfoliate effectively without causing irritation.

[0073] FIG. 10 illustrates a looser knot arrangement with spacing exceeding 1.5 inches between knots. FIG. 10 shows a looser knot pattern than FIG. 9. This looser knot arrangement provides a very mild exfoliating effect ideal for delicate skin or for infrequent exfoliation routines. The open mesh also allows for rapid drying and ease of cleaning, making it particularly suited for users concerned with hygiene or those prone to skin sensitivities.

[0074] FIG. 11 illustrates a denser knot spacing arrangement with knots placed less than 0.25 inches (6 mm) apart. FIG. 11 shows a tighter knot pattern than FIG. 9, which enhances exfoliation intensity without compromising comfort. This embodiment is particularly useful for individuals requiring deeper exfoliation due to skin texture concerns or specificdermatological conditions. This configuration increases the number of contact points per unit area, suitable for sensitive or facial skin requiring gentle but effective exfoliation. A denser knot spacing arrangement can reduce the potential for microabrasions while encouraging gentle stimulation of blood flow and skin renewal.

[0075] In an alternative embodiment, the at least one knots of as described herein are coated with a double-laminated thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nylon layer, providing additional tensile strength and abrasion resistance. This coating protects the knots against deformation and wear from repeated mechanical stress and laundering, thereby extending the product’s service life in both personal and industrial cleaning applications. In another alternative embodiment, the at least one knots asdescribed herein are tapered to create a softer rolling contact with the skin. This design modification reduces friction intensity, making the cloth suitable for users with highly sensitive skin or specific dermatological conditions. The tapered knots retain structural integrity while ensuring a gentle yet effective exfoliating action.

[0076] The dual-sided cloth as described herein and embodiments disclosed herein are not limited by the dimensions or material selections exemplified in the figures. Variations in knot size, spacing, and fiber composition allow for customization based on intended application, user preference, and manufacturing feasibility. For instance, the knotted mesh can be fabricated from blends containing 20% to 40% high-tensile nylon fibers, arranged to optimize exfoliation while maintaining flexibility and resistance to tearing.

[0077] Likewise, the soft absorbent fabric side can be produced using 60% to 80% microfiber or natural fiber blends, selected to maximize moisture wicking, dirt capture, and tactile comfort. These materials may be treated with antimicrobial agents or infused with therapeutic additives such as essential oils, vitamins, or soothing compounds to enhance user experience and promote skin health.

[0078] Beyond the physical configurations, dual-sided cloths can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different use cases. Facial cloths may measure approximately 5 x 7 inches, allowing for precise control during delicate cleansing routines, whereas larger bath- sized cloths can exceed 12 x 12 inches to cover broader body areas efficiently. As shown in FIGS. 12A-12B, the dual-sided article may be configured as an elongated, towel-like embodiment. Although various rectangular dimensions are contemplated, in one example, the article measures approximately 36 inches by 10 inches. Mittversions, conceptual extensions of the cloth shown in FTG. 3 or FIG. 5A, incorporate wrist cuffs for secure wear and facilitate more ergonomic handling during shower or bath routines.

[0079] Some embodiments of the dual- sided construction support multiple user routines within a single tool. For example, users may begin exfoliation with the knotted mesh side shown in FIGs. 1C 2C, FIG. 4B, 5B, or 6C, applying gentle pressure and rolling motions across the skin to remove dead cells and impurities. Subsequently, the opposite soft side illustrated in FIGs. 1C 2C, FIG. 4B, 5B, or 6C is employed to wipe away loosened debris and excess oils, cleanse the skin, and absorb residual moisture.

[0080] Durability and longevity are further assured through high-quality stitching and edge reinforcements, as visible in FIGS. 1A, 2A, and 3A. These reinforcements prevent fraying and degradation under repeated laundering and physical use. The incorporation of hanging loops as in FIGs. 6A-6E and FIG. 8A-8B encourages proper drying and storage, which enables proper hygiene and preservation of the dual-sided cloth 100 structural and functional qualities.

[0081] The dual- sided cloth as described herein can also be adapted for alternative applications beyond personal care. For example, industrial or household cleaning tools may benefit from the exfoliating knotted mesh side to scrub difficult surfaces or remove stubborn residues, while the soft fabric side can serve for polishing or wiping. Materials and fiber compositions may be altered to suit specific cleaning agents or environmental conditions, extending the cloth’s utility into commercial domains.

[0082] The design and construction details provided across FIGS. 1A-11 serve as a foundational platform for further innovation. Features such as variable knot geometry, selective coating technologies, fabric enhancements, and ergonomic accessories may be integrated in future embodiments to address emerging consumer needs, sustainability goals, and manufacturing advancements.
