Abstract:

A cleaning material designed for removing difficult stains and dirt from smooth and textured surfaces. The material is made of a plurality of flat chisel-like synthetic fibers which are somewhat pliant and protrude from a backing designed to hold the fibers in place. The material may be embodied in the shape of a mitt to fit over the hand of the user with a backing suitable to protect the user's hands. The material may also be configured in other fashions and in combination with different backings and attached to various instruments to provide greater ease of use for particular cleaning chores. Two inner layers of sponge, surrounding a soap or a chemical, can be surrounded by two outer layers of the cleaning material to form a pot scrubber pad. The inner and outer layers can be sealed by an ultrasonic welding technique.
