Mitt with chemical resistant liner

Abstract

A cleaning mitt for cleaning a variety of surfaces comprising of a plurality of sides peripherally joined to create a cavity for ambidextrously accommodating a human hand. The plurality of sides have an exterior surface consisting of a continuous absorbent material and an impermeable interior lining substantially lining the cavity to prevent chemical solutions propagating into the cavity. The cavity has an open end for receiving a human hand therein. Attached proximate to the open end is an attachment mechanism for releasably securing the cleaning mitt to a human wrist.

       13 . An apparatus for cleaning a variety of surfaces, comprising: 
 a body consisting of first and second opposing sides configured in a substantially planar manner, said first and second opposing sides being peripherally joined to form a cavity, said cavity having an open end and being of sufficient size to accommodate a human hand therein;    an attachment mechanism provided connected to said open end of said cavity, said attachment mechanism to releaseably secure said apparatus to a human wrist;    an absorbent material disposed on at least a portion of one of said first side, said absorbent material being water absorbent and abrasion resistant;    an abrasive cleaning material disposed on at least a portion of said second side; and 
 a liner disposed within said cavity for inhibiting chemical solvents and solutions entering into said cavity; and wherein said liner is comprised of a nitrile rubber which is resistant to chemical solvents.
