ABSTRACT:
A cleaning glove includes a waterproof glove having at least one finger stall and a thumb stall, a mounting plate attached to the thumb stall, an artificial thumbnail connected to the mounting plate, a first scouring surface positioned on a thumbward side and an outer end of a first finger stall, a second scouring surface positioned on an exterior side of an outermost finger stall, a cleaning material, and an arm portion. The thumbnail has a generally crescent-shaped configuration protruding from the thumb stall for scraping objects when a wearer's thumb moves in a back and forth motion. The configuration and the positioning of the thumbnail provide the user with leverage when cleaning and take advantage of the hand's natural movements. The mounting plate distributes the thumbnail's forces on the waterproof glove, keeping the waterproof glove from tearing. The first and second scouring surfaces may be used cooperatively for cleaning.
