There is herein disclosed a cleaning and scouring glove having a flexible body including a palm, a thumb, and finger stalls, the finger stalls including a second row of phalanges. Disposed upon the second row of phalanges in the knuckle area of the middle three fingers are three ovoid scouring or cleaning units. In the palm and inner-finger region is located an upper and lower cleaning or abrasive surface, the upper surface covering substantially the entire upper-palm and inner-finger area, and the lower surface covering substantially the entire lower-palm area, the upper and lower surfaces being separated by a transverse linear separation of about ⅛inch, this linear separation corresponding generally to the natural transverse fold in the palm, the separation functioning to enhance the flexibility of the palm area of the glove to facilitate the complete clenching of the fist of the user in order to make possible the application of considerable force and pressure by the user when the cleaning glove is held in a position of a clenched fist with pressure and reciprocal motion applied by the user between the second row of phalanges of the knuckle and the rigid surface to be cleaned by the disclosed waterproof cleaning glove. Also disclosed are means for the attachment and removability of the cleaning surfaces and units to provide a range of different cleaning mechanisms. The cleaning units may include a cellulose layer capable of rotating detergent in solution.

A waterproof scouring glove for cleaning rigid surfaces and having a flexible body including a palm, a thumb, and finger stalls, the finger stalls including a second row of phalanges in the mid-finger area, the scouring glove comprising: an exterior palm side and an exterior knuckle side, a plurality of abrading or cleaning units defining cleaning surfaces and adhered to only said exterior palm side and only said exterior knuckle side of said second row of phalanges and positioned entirely within the confines thereof, whereby, the second row of phalanges may be utilized for forcibly applying pressure to said cleaning unit during scrubbing of a rigid surface when said glove is in the position of a clenched fist and, during such clenching, the second row of phalanges are capable of forcefully applying reciprocating action upon the rigid surface, said abrading or cleaning units including a single upper exterior palm cleaning surface covering substantially the entire upper exterior palm and exterior palm side finger areas of the glove body; and a single lower exterior palm cleaning surface covering substantially the entire lower palm area extending from the natural transverse crease in the palm to the top of the wrist, wherein said upper and said lower-cleaning surfaces are separated by a transverse linear gap free of abrading or cleaning units disposed substantially at the location of the natural transverse crease of the palm; whereby the capacity of the user to form a tight, clenched fist is enhanced by reason of such transverse linear separation between said upper and lower palm surfaces, an absorption layer disposed between said cleaning surfaces and the flexible glove body; whereby said absorptive layer may absorb water of a liquid solution of detergent for usage in combination with said cleaning surfaces; said absorptive layer is adhered to the flexible glove body with a pressure-responsive adhesive.
