Abstract
A reusable handheld cleaning implement comprised of a flat, perforated, semi rigid, pliable, semi resilient backing made of water resistant material. A plurality of single, solid, linear, vertical, soft, pliable, semi resilient, smooth, non-open looped strands are connected to the backing forming both the top and bottom surface of the implement. A tether is connected to the implement.
Claims11
A reusable handheld implement comprised of:
- a backing, multiple strands and a perimeter;
- (A) the backing is flat and made of a water resistant or waterproof material;
- the mentioned backing is perforated, allowing the backing to be permeable;
- and where the backing has a thickness that minimizes the volume of said perforations;
- and,
- (1) the backing is pliable,
- (2) perforations are located throughout the backing,
- (3) perforations are adjacent to the strands,
- (B) the strands are soft and not opened looped;
- the mentioned strands have an overall smooth surface;
- the strands are connected to the backing in a manner that allows each strand to have a top end that is vertical or vertically aligned to its bottom end;
- and,
- (1) the strands are pliable,
- (2) the length of each individual strand is not greater than 1 inch,
- (3) the diameter of each individual strand is not greater than 1 inch,
- (4) the strands are not spaced more than 1 inch apart on any surface of the backing comprised of said strands.
