Multi-purpose mitt

Abstract

A multi-purpose mitt includes microfiber loop chiffons sewn to the front and back portions of a cotton base so that, in general, adjacent edges of the microfiber loop chiffons are approximately 0.5 inch apart from one another. The multi-purpose mitt provides increased microfiber loop exposure to an area to be cleaned, and therefore greater capability for accumulating and retaining larger quantities of dirt, dust, pollen and other contaminants. At the same time, the multi-purpose mitt of the present invention with the above described configuration is configured with a microfiber loop density that provides a high degree of water absorbency.

1 . A multi-purpose mitt, comprising: 
 a cotton base including a front portion and a back portion;    microfiber loop chiffons sewn to the front and back portions of the cotton base so that, in general, adjacent edges of the microfiber loop chiffons are approximately 0.5 inch apart from one another.    
   
   
       2 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 1 , wherein the microfiber loop chiffons are each approximately 2 inches wide and are sewn down a center thereof to the front and back portions of the cotton base so that microfiber loops extend outwardly from each side thereof.  
   
   
       3 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 1 , wherein microfiber loops on the microfiber loop chiffons are each approximately 1 inch in length.  
   
   
       4 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 3 , wherein each of the microfiber loops is formed from two twisted pieces of microfiber yarn each being approximately 0.08 inch in diameter.  
   
   
       5 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 1 , wherein the microfiber loop chiffons are approximately 2 inches wide.  
   
   
       6 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 1 , wherein the microfiber loop chiffons comprise: 
 a first continuous microfiber loop chiffon sewn to the front portion of the cotton base in a generally inwardly-spiraling pattern beginning at an outer edge of the front portion of the cotton base and ending at a central portion thereof; and    a second continuous microfiber loop chiffon sewn to the back portion of the cotton base in a generally inwardly-spiraling pattern beginning at an outer edge of the back portion of the cotton base and ending at a central portion thereof.    
   
   
       7 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 6 , wherein 
 adjacent chiffon edges of both the first and second continuous microfiber loop chiffons, except for respective first and second terminating end portions located at the respective central portions of the front and back portions of the cotton base, are approximately 0.5 inch apart from one another.    
   
   
       8 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 7 , wherein 
 adjacent chiffon edges of both the first and second continuous microfiber loop chiffons, except for sewing transition portions where a direction of chiffon stitching abruptly changes, are approximately 0.5 inch apart from one another.    
   
   
       9 . The multi-purpose mitt of  claim 1 , wherein the microfiber loop chiffons are sewn to the front and back portions of the cotton base to provide a microfiber loop density of about 12-16 loops per inch of the microfiber loop chiffons.  
   
   
       10 . A wash and cleaning apparatus, comprising: 
 a cotton mitt including front and back portions;    a first microfiber loop chiffon sewn to the front portion of the cotton mitt in an inwardly-spiraling pattern to cover the front portion of the cotton mitt in microfiber loops; and    a second microfiber loop chiffon sewn to the back portion of the cotton mitt in an inwardly-spiraling pattern to cover the back portion of the cotton mitt in the microfiber loops,    wherein, in general, adjacent edges of the first microfiber loop chiffon are approximately 0.5 inches apart from one another, and, in general, adjacent edges of the second microfiber loop chiffon are approximately 0.5 inches apart from one another.    
   
   
       11 . The wash and cleaning apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second microfiber loop chiffons are each approximately 2 inches wide and are respectively sewn down a center thereof to the front and the back portions of the cotton mitt so that microfiber loops extend outwardly from each side thereof.  
   
   
       12 . The wash and cleaning apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein microfiber loops on the first and second microfiber loop chiffons are each approximately 1 inch in length.  
   
   
       13 . The wash and cleaning apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second microfiber loop chiffons are each approximately 2 inches wide.  
   
   
       14 . The wash and cleaning apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second microfiber loop chiffons are respectively sewn to the front and the back portions of the cotton mitt to provide a microfiber loop density of about 12-16 loops per inch of the first and second microfiber loop chiffons on the front and back portions of the cotton mitt.  
   
   
       15 . A wash and cleaning apparatus, comprising: 
 a cotton mitt including front and back portions; and    a microfiber loop chiffon sewn to one of the front and back portions of the cotton mitt in an inwardly-spiraling pattern to cover the one of the front and back portions of the cotton mitt in microfiber loops, wherein    in general, adjacent edges of the microfiber loop chiffon are approximately 0.5 inches apart from one another.
