ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to cleaning mitts for use in cleaning automobiles or other items.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cleaning mitts are known in the art. Typically they include a polyester or like batting configured to form a cavity having an open cuffed end.
While conventional cleaning mitts have been of assistance in automobile and other item cleaning, they also have disadvantageous aspects. One of these is that the mitts have a fluffy almost sponge-like outer surface that while being good at retaining fluid and cleaning solution is not sufficiently abrasive to remove bugs, tar, and dried on dirt, etc.
Another disadvantageous aspect of present cleaning mitts is that they permit water to pass through to a user's hand. In cold weather and/or when used with cold water, this results in the hand becoming undesirably cold.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning mitt that includes at least one surface that has enhanced tar and bug removing properties.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a cleaning mitt that has a dry liner to maintain the inside of the cleaning mitt substantially dry.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide various cleaning mitt arrangements that provide a supplemental abrasive cleaning surface.
These and related objects of the present invention are achieved by use of a cleaning mitt apparatus and method as described herein.
The attainment of the foregoing and related advantages and features of the invention should be more readily apparent to those skilled in the art, after review of the following more detailed description of the invention taken together with the drawings.
