The cleaning member 1 is entirely formed of a flexible sponge-like material, for example, an open-cell sponge, and its thickness is set to, for example, about 3 to 8 mm. The cleaning member 1 includes five finger insertion portions 11 into which the fingers such as the thumb, the index finger, and the ring finger can be individually inserted, and the movement of each finger can be individually permitted.
In addition, the tip of the finger insertion portion 11 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape along each fingertip. Further, the cleaning member 1
A reinforcing cord 13 is sewn into the opening 12 of the
A ring 14 for suspending the cleaning member 1 is formed by bonding the ends of the cord 13 to each other in an annular shape. The internal space of the cleaning member 1 is set to a size that allows the gloves 2 to be easily inserted and removed.

The sponge constituting the cleaning member 1 is preferably made of polyvinylidene chloride, polyurethane or the like, and in addition to this, a plant fiber sponge (cellulos sponge) may be used. It is preferable that it has flexibility such that it can be freely bent during use. Further, it is also possible to use a sponge containing an abrasive.

The cleaning member 1 is formed in the shape of a glove by stacking two sponge sheets and heat-sealing the contour portion or integrally molding by foam molding. Particularly in the latter case of integral molding, the wall thickness of each part can be easily adjusted. For example, the wall thickness of the finger insertion part 11 is made smaller than the wall thickness of the palm part 15, It is also possible to improve the operability of 11.

The above-mentioned glove 2 is made of rubber or synthetic resin as a whole and is impermeable to water, and may be made of a material which has been conventionally used for washing or dishwashing.
