ABSTRACT:
A cleaning device (10) for bathtubs, shower enclosures, and the like comprises a sponge block having an outer surface which substantially defines a rectangular polyhedron in shape and which has a cavity (34) cut into a top surface thereof which is similarly shaped and oriented correspondingly as is the outer surface of the sponge block. A rigid support block (14), having an outer surface with length and breadth dimensions which are approximately the same as the size and shape of the length and breadth dimensions of a cavity surface, is adhered in the cavity by a chemical (cleaning), detergent, and water resistant, elastic, adhesive (18) and an elongated handle (16) is attached to a top surface of the support block. The sponge block is constructed of reticulated sponge material and distances between side, end, and bottom surfaces of the support block and the sponge outer surface fall in a range from 1/2 inch to 2.5 inches. Bottom edges of the support block and the sponge block cavity are beveled surfaces (56, 45). A bottom surface (54) of the support block has minimum length and breadth dimensions of 11/2 inches. Side and end surfaces (46-52) of the support block have minimum length dimensions of 11/2 inches and minimum height dimensions of 1/2 of an inch.
