Abstract
The invention relates to cleaning mitts, and methods for their use. In one embodiment, a mitt under the invention may be made of microfiber material, and may be defined by a hand-receiving section, a separate thumb-receiving section, a separate index-finger receiving section, and a separate three-finger receiving section. In another embodiment, a mitt under the invention may have an elastic section defining an opening in the mitt for insertion of a user's hand. In a further embodiment, for a method of using a mitt to clean under the invention, a microfiber mitt may be provided, a user may insert a hand into the mitt, and the mitt may be used to clean a surface. The microfiber material of the mitt may allow the surface to be dusted when the mitt is dry and/or cleaned when the mitt is damp.
Claims50
A mitt for cleaning comprising:
- a microfiber material;
- a hand-receiving section adapted to receive a hand;
- a separate thumb-receiving section adapted to receive a thumb;
- a separate index-finger receiving section adapted to receive an index-finger;
- and
- a separate three-finger receiving section adapted to receive a middle finger, a ring finger, and a pinky finger, wherein a second angle between a center-line axis of the separate index-finger receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section is in the range of seven degrees to thirteen degrees.
A mitt for cleaning comprising:
- an elastic section defined by an opening for insertion of a hand;
- a hand-receiving section adapted to receive a hand;
- a separate thumb-receiving section adapted to receive a thumb;
- a separate index-finger receiving section adapted to receive an index-finger;
- and
- a separate three-finger receiving section adapted to receive a middle finger, a ring finger, and a pinky finger, wherein a first angle between a center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate index-finger receiving section is substantially in the range of thirty-two degrees to thirty-eight degrees, a second angle between the center-line axis of the separate index-receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section is substantially in the range of seven degrees to thirteen degrees, and a third angle between the center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and the center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section is substantially in the range of forty-two degrees to forty-eight degrees.
A method for using a mitt to clean comprising:
- providing a microfiber mitt comprising a hand-receiving section, a separate thumb-receiving section, a separate index-finger receiving section, and a separate three-finger receiving section, wherein said provided mitt further comprises a first angle between a center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate index-finger receiving section in the range of thirty-two degrees to thirty-eight degrees, a second angle between the center-line axis of the separate index-finger receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section in the range of seven degrees to thirteen degrees, and a third angle between the center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and the center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section in the range of forty-two degrees to forty-eight degrees;
- inserting a hand into said microfiber mitt;
- and
- cleaning a surface using said mitt.
A mitt for cleaning comprising:
- a microfiber material;
- a hand-receiving section adapted to receive a hand;
- a separate thumb-receiving section adapted to receive a thumb;
- a separate index-finger receiving section adapted to receive an index-finger;
- and
- a separate three-finger receiving section adapted to receive a middle finger, a ring finger, and a pinky finger, wherein a third angle between a center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section is in the range of forty-two degrees to forty-eight degrees.
A mitt for cleaning comprising:
- a microfiber material;
- a hand-receiving section adapted to receive a hand;
- a separate thumb-receiving section adapted to receive a thumb;
- a separate index-finger receiving section adapted to receive an index-finger;
- and
- a separate three-finger receiving section adapted to receive a middle finger, a ring finger, and a pinky finger, wherein a first angle between a center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate index-finger receiving section is approximately thirty-five degrees, a second angle between the center-line axis of the separate index-finger receiving section and a center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section is approximately ten degrees, and a third angle between the center-line axis of the separate thumb-receiving section and the center-line axis of the separate three-finger receiving section is approximately forty-five degrees.
