- The invention relates generally to cleaning supplies and accessories and in particular to a cleaning cloth with an abrasive surface. Housecleaning isn't the most desirable way to spend the day, so people who do it would like to get it done as quickly as possible. Professional housekeeping services, such as housekeeping departments at hospitals, nursing homes, motels, and similar institutions, are equally interested in getting the job done quickly and efficiently to save labor costs. Several specialized cleaning tools and implements have been developed, but for certain tasks such as washing dishes by hand, they have proven to be unsatisfactory. Cleaning cloth with an abrasive surface would resolve this problem. The cloth features a triangular area in one corner which is covered with an abrasive microfiber surface on one side for scrubbing. The remainder of the cloth features the usual soft fabric surface, preferably cotton or a lint-free synthetic weave. The cloth would allow the user to rapidly switch between cleaning techniques without changing tools.
- Accordingly, the invention is directed to a cleaning cloth with an abrasive surface. The cloth features a triangular area in one corner which is covered with an abrasive microfiber surface on one side for scrubbing. The remainder of the cloth features the usual soft fabric surface, preferably cotton or a lint-free synthetic weave. The cloth would allow the user to rapidly switch between cleaning techniques without changing tools.
- Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention.
- The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated into and constitute a part of the specification. They illustrate one embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a top view of the first exemplary embodiment, displaying thecloth 10, thestandard surface 11, thetriangular area 12, and theabrasive surface 13. -
FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the first exemplary embodiment, displaying thecloth 10, thestandard surface 11, thetriangular area 12, and theabrasive surface 13. - Referring now to the invention in more detail, the invention is directed to a cleaning
cloth 10 with anabrasive surface 13. Thecloth 10 features atriangular area 12 in one corner which is covered with anabrasive surface 13 of microfibers on one side for scrubbing. The remainder of thecloth 10 features astandard surface 11, preferably manufactured from a soft fabric such as cotton or a lint-free synthetic weave. The standard surface would preferably cover both sides of thecloth 10, except for thetriangular region 12. Thecloth 10 would allow the user to rapidly switch between cleaning techniques without changing tools. - The device is presented in one exemplary embodiment. The first exemplary embodiment features a
rectangular cleaning cloth 10, preferably manufactured from a soft, flexible, durable fabric such as cotton, a cotton-rayon blend, or a cotton-polyester blend. To use the first exemplary embodiment, the user employs thecloth 10 to clean most surfaces with thestandard surface 11. When a difficult cleaning situation is encountered that requires scrubbing, the user repositions, inverts, or turns thecloth 10 such that thetriangular area 12 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned. This exposes theabrasive surface 13 to the surface to be cleaned. - The
cloth 10 is preferably manufactured from a flexible, durable fabric such as cotton, a cotton-rayon blend, or a cotton-polyester blend or a lint-free synthetic weave. Thetriangular area 12 is preferably manufactured from a flexible, durable material with a gently abrasive microfiber surface, such as plastic or nylon fibers. Components, component sizes, and materials listed above are preferable, but artisans will recognize that alternate components and materials could be selected without altering the scope of the invention. - While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is presently considered to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should, therefore, not be limited by the above described embodiment, method, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention.
