Description

  The present invention relates to a cleaning tool used when cleaning tableware, cooking utensils, and the like.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when washing dishes or cooking utensils with dirt after meals in the home, it is generally performed to rub these objects to be cleaned with sponge sponges containing detergent. . Sponge scrubbing mainly uses net scrubbing with urethane sponge wrapped in nets, urethane sponges with an uneven surface, and bonded types in which a hard nonwoven fabric for polishing is bonded to urethane sponges. Due to the flexibility of these sponge scrubbers, dirt can be removed without scratching the object to be cleaned.

  By the way, the above detergents used for dishwashing, etc. are generally used synthetic detergents containing strong alkaline salts or surfactants in order to obtain excellent detergency capable of removing oil stains. There are problems such as rough skin when the operator touches the hand directly during cleaning, and the environment (water quality) is contaminated when the detergent is drained into the sewage. ing.

  The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that can obtain an excellent detergency without using a detergent and that has an extremely low load on the human body and the environment.

  The cleaning tool according to claim 1 is composed of a sponge base material and a rubbing body containing a cleaning agent made of granular baking soda and / or granular citric acid provided on the surface of the sponge base material. It is a feature.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the cleaning tool according to claim 1, wherein the rubbing body is a sheet member to which the cleaning agent is fixed, and the rubbing body is a surface of the sponge base material. It is characterized in that it is adhered to.

  The invention described in claim 3 is the cleaning tool according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the sponge base is formed in a prismatic shape and the rubbing body is provided on at least one surface. It is characterized by.

  The invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that, in the cleaning tool according to claims 1 to 2, the sponge base material is made of melamine resin.

  According to the present invention, baking soda shows weak alkalinity when dissolved in water, so it decomposes oil stains attached to dishes, etc., and citric acid shows weak acidity when dissolved in water, so kitchen sinks and faucets Calcium and scale adhering to etc. can be decomposed. The dirt floating on the surface of the object to be cleaned by these decomposition actions can be scraped off by the sponge base material. In particular, since the melamine resin has an appropriate polishing property, the polishing effect can cleanly remove the raised dirt with only water without using a detergent.

  In addition, baking soda and citric acid are harmless to the human body, and even if the washed water is poured into sewage as it is, baking soda and citric acid are easily decomposed, so the burden on the environment is extremely small.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a cleaning tool according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleaning tool according to the present embodiment includes a rubbing body 4 that wipes dirt adhering to a body to be cleaned such as tableware and cooking utensils, and a rectangular shape that holds the rubbing body 4. It is comprised with the sponge base material 1 of this.

  The rubbing body 4 is composed of a sheet member 2 (for example, water-resistant paper or non-woven fabric) having granular baking soda or granular citric acid fixed thereon as a cleaning agent 3 on the surface. It is adhered to one surface of the sponge base material 1 by welding or the like. The average particle diameter of the granular cleaning agent 3 is 300 to 400 μm.

  As the sponge substrate 2, phenol resin, epoxy resin, urethane resin, melamine resin, etc., which are rich in elasticity and flexibility, can be used. In this embodiment, among these sponge materials, an appropriate amount is used. Abrasive melamine resin is used.

  In order to use the cleaning tool having the above configuration, the sponge base material 1 is grasped and rubbed so as to press the rubbing body 4 against the object to be cleaned while applying water. Since the rubbing body 4 can be uniformly pressed against the surface to be cleaned by the appropriate elasticity of the sponge base material 1, dirt stuck to the body to be cleaned can be efficiently rubbed.

Baking soda shows weak alkalinity when dissolved in water, so it easily decomposes oil stains attached to dishes, etc., and citric acid shows weak acidity when dissolved in water, so calcium attached to kitchen sinks and faucets, etc. Decomposes and scales well.
In addition, since these granular cleaning agents 3 are fixed to the sponge substrate 1, the cleaning agent 3 is not immediately washed away in water and dispersed at the time of cleaning. In the meantime, the cleaning power by the cleaning agent 3 can be maintained. Moreover, the effect which scrapes off the stain | pollution | contamination adhering to a to-be-cleaned body by the abrasiveness which a granule show | plays is also acquired.

  Next, the dirt floating on the surface of the object to be cleaned is scraped off by using the surface of the sponge base material 1 by the action of decomposing oil, or calcium and scale by the cleaning agent 3. In particular, since the melamine resin has an appropriate polishing property, the lifted dirt can be cleanly removed with water alone by its polishing action without using a detergent.

  Baking soda is used in medicines and foods, and citric acid is used as a food additive. All are harmless to the human body. There is no fear of rough hands, rough skin, etc., and even if the washed water is poured into sewage as it is, baking soda and citric acid are easily decomposed, so the burden on the environment is extremely small.

As described above, in the present embodiment, granular baking soda or granular citric acid is used as the cleaning agent 3. However, it is of course possible to use a mixed granule of baking soda and citric acid. It is possible to wash water and scales at once.
Of course, the cleaning tool according to the present embodiment can also be used for washing toilets, washstands, and bathrooms in addition to washing dishes and cooking utensils.

The perspective view of the cleaning tool by the embodiment of the present invention. The side view of the cleaning tool.
