The invention describes a cleaning system in the form of a mitt having cleaning pads attached by reversible fastening means so that pads may be electively and consecutively attached, removed, or replaced. Furthermore, the invention provides a means for introducing, retaining, dispensing, and distributing a fluid, such as water or a liquid cleaning product, so that a removable pad may be irrigated with a regulated dose of fluid prior to use. The invention also describes a cooperative enclosure that can store a plurality of cleaning pads. Features of the compatible enclosure serve to physically guide the body of the mitt into alignment with a replacement pad.

The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the first and second layers comprise flexible films and the second layer is sealingly bonded to the first layer around a peripheral edge of the second layer. 3. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 2, wherein each of the first and second layers includes a fluid reservoir section, a reservoir neck section and a mouth section, the reservoir neck section being disposed between the fluid reservoir section and the mouth section. 4. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 2, wherein the first and second layers differ in dimension, and wherein relative dimensions of the first and second layers differ such that a margin of material comprising a single layer remains after formation of the fluid reservoir section, the margin being sealingly bonded to the front portion along the margin. 5. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the pocket is defined by an outer face of the rear portion and an inner face of the front portion, the at least one fluid dispensing outlet is being formed along an outer face of the front portion. 6. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 5, wherein the at least one fluid dispensing outlet comprises at least one recessed channel formed in the outer face of the front portion in which the fluid can flow. 7. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 6, wherein the at least one fluid dispensing outlet comprises a plurality of recessed channels formed in the outer face of the front portion. 8. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 7, wherein each of the plurality of recessed channels is a closed ended channel. 9. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 5, wherein the inner face of the front portion is a smooth face and the at least one fluid dispensing outlet being confined to the outer face of the front portion. 10. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, further including a pad configured to be detachably coupled to an outer face of the front portion such that the pad overlies the at least one dispensing outlet, the pad being formed of a fluid permeable material to allow the fluid that is dispensed from the at least one dispensing outlet to wet the pad. 11. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 10, wherein the outer face of the front portion includes a first coupling member and the pad includes a second coupling member that is complementary to the first coupling member to provide the detachable coupling between the pad and the front portion. 12. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 11, wherein the first and second coupling members comprise hook and loop materials. 13. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the fluid reservoir comprises a sealed reservoir that is not accessible by the user and is not refillable. 14. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the fluid dispensing mechanism comprises a hand operated pump that draws fluid from the fluid reservoir and delivers the fluid to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet. 15. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 14, wherein the pump comprises an elastic bulb pump that includes a deformable bulb that when operated draws a metered volume of fluid into the bulb and then subsequently discharges the metered volume through the at least one dispensing outlet. 16. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 15, wherein the pump includes an inlet that is in selective communication with the fluid reservoir and a dispensing tube that is in selective communication with the at least one fluid dispensing outlet. 17. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 16, further including a first valve in fluid communication with the inlet and openable when negative pressure exists in a hollow interior of the bulb and the fluid is drawn into a hollow interior and a second valve in fluid communication with the dispensing tube and openable when positive pressure is applied to the bulb after the fluid has been drawn into the hollow interior of the bulb. 18. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 17, wherein the first and second valves comprise one-way check valves. 19. The portable fluid dispensing device claim 1, wherein the fluid dispensing mechanism is disposed along a top edge of each of the front portion and the rear portion and fluidly connects the fluid reservoir to the at least one dispensing outlet. 20. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the fluid dispensing mechanism is configured to be repeatedly activated by application of mechanical force to a displaceable interface that has an internal volume capable of intermittently receiving a dose of the fluid from the reservoir, the fluid dispensing mechanism further including a connector that is shaped such that it has a waist indented from at least one side of the connector such that the waist defines first and second lobes, the first lobe being fluidly connected to the reservoir and the second lobe being fluidly connected to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet. 21. The portable fluid dispensing device of claim 20, further including a manifold that provides a fluid outlet path from the internal volume to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet and wherein the manifold is fitted at least in part with the waist wherein the connector is bilobate in form and the first lobe includes an intake port capable of providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the internal volume. 22. A portable fluid dispensing device for mounting upon a human hand comprising: a hand-held applicator that includes a pocket that is configured to receive one hand of a user, the pocket partitioning the hand-held applicator into a rear portion and a front portion; a fluid reservoir formed in the rear portion for holding a fluid that is to be dispensed;at least one fluid dispensing outlet formed in the front portion and in selective fluid communication with the fluid reservoir for selectively dispensing the fluid through the at least one fluid dispensing outlet; anda fluid dispensing mechanism in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and the at least one fluid dispensing outlet and being configured to selectively deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet through which the fluid is dispensed, the fluid dispensing mechanism including a dispensing tube that has a distal end that defines the fluid dispensing outlet, wherein the distal end of the dispensing tube is disposed along an outer surface of the front portion at a location spaced internally from a peripheral edge of the front portion for delivering the fluid centrally with respect to the front portion. 23.
