Scrubber mat

Abstract

There is disclosed a scrubber mat having a backing, a plurality of loops and an attachment device. The plurality of loops may be attached to a front side of the backing. The attachment device may be attached to a back side of the backing. There is also disclosed a process including disposing the scrubber mat substantially parallel to a relatively flat surface, introducing a liquid cleanser into a reservoir defined by a backing of the scrubber mat and attaching the plurality of suction cups to the relatively flat surface by applying a force to the scrubber mat.

1 . An apparatus comprising: 
 a resin backing    a plurality of loops bonded to the resin backing, wherein each of the plurality of loops comprises a resin material and a material selected from the group anti-fungal material and anti-bacterial material    a suction cup integrated with the resin backing, wherein the suction cup has a diameter between approximately 1/16 of an inch and ⅛ of an inch.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the resin backing defines a reservoir, an opening disposed proximate the bottom of the backing and a plurality of apertures disposed proximate the top of the backing.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the resin backing includes a cap, the cap adapted to prevent liquid from passing through the opening.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein the apertures are adapted to prevent liquid from passing through the apertures when a person is not rubbing a body part against the plurality of loops and allowing liquid to pass through the apertures when a person is rubbing a body part against the plurality of loops.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein the plurality of loops comprises an anti-fungal material.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the plurality of loops each have a fluorescent color.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the anti-fungal material is OBPA and the resin includes TVC.  
   
   
       8 . A process comprising: 
 disposing a scrubber mat substantially parallel to a relatively flat surface, wherein the scrubber mat includes 
 a backing formed from an organic elastomer, the backing having a front side and a back side  
 a plurality of loops bonded to the front side, each of the plurality of loops having an agent selected from the group consisting of an anti-bacterial agent and anti-fungal agent  
 a plurality of suction cups adhesively attached to the back side via a sheet  
 the backing defining a reservoir, an opening disposed proximate the back side of the backing and a plurality of apertures disposed proximate the front side of the backing  
   introducing a liquid cleanser into the reservoir    attaching the plurality of suction cups to the relatively flat surface by applying a force to the scrubber mat.    
   
   
       9 . The process of  claim 8  further comprising compressing the backing and rubbing a part of a user's body against the plurality of loops thereby causing the liquid cleanser to pass through the plurality of apertures and lather.  
   
   
       10 . The process of  claim 8  further comprising closing the opening prior to attaching the plurality of suction cups to the relatively flat surface.  
   
   
       11 . The process of  claim 8  wherein the opening is closed with a cap.  
   
   
       12 . The process of  claim 9  wherein the liquid cleanser is a body lotion.  
   
   
       13 . The process of  claim 12  further comprising exfoliating dead skin cells from the part of the user's body during rubbing the part of the user's body against the plurality of loops.  
   
   
       14 . A scrubber mat comprising: 
 a backing having a front side and a back side,    a plurality of loops attached to the front side,    an attachment device attached to the back side.    
   
   
       15 . The scrubber mat of  claim 14  wherein the backing defines a reservoir, an opening disposed proximate the back side and a plurality of apertures disposed proximate the front side.  
   
   
       16 . The scrubber mat of  claim 15  wherein the backing includes a cap, the cap adapted to prevent liquid from passing through the opening.  
   
   
       17 . The scrubber mat of  claim 16  wherein the apertures are adapted to prevent liquid from passing through the apertures when a person is not rubbing a body part against the plurality of loops and allowing liquid to pass through the apertures when a person is rubbing a body part against the plurality of loops.  
   
   
       18 . The scrubber mat of  claim 17  wherein the plurality of loops comprises an anti-fungal material.  
   
   
       19 . The scrubber mat of  claim 17  wherein the loops are resin filaments.  
   
   
       20 . The scrubber mat of  claim 17  wherein the loops include anti-fungal agents.  
   
   
       21 . The scrubber mat of  claim 19  wherein the attachment device comprises a magnetic material.  
   
   
       22 . The scrubber mat of  claim 19  wherein the loops include a TVC material.  
   
   
       23 . The scrubber mat of  claim 19  wherein the loops include OBPA.
