Abstract

An absorbant glove having an agitating feature. The glove is formed from a base material which exhibits a high degree of absorbancy. In order to achieve this high degree of absorbancy, the base material preferably exhibits a very large surface area, such as a synthetic lamb's wool. The glove additionally has one or more areas of a rough, bristled material which is efficient at transmitting mechanical forces from movement of the user's hand to the stain. The bristled material is preferably a synthetic fabric, such as that commonly used for indoor/outdoor carpeting. In certain embodiments, one band of bristled material is formed at an angle to a second band of bristled material, wherein the angle is substantially between 20 degrees and 60 degrees. In other embodiments, the angle is substantially between 30 degrees and 45 degrees.
