The present invention relates to a held hand cleaning cloth that incorporates magnets to provide reinforced surface cleaning coverage.
Cleaning window surfaces is always a challenge for most individuals. Many devices have been developed to clean window surfaces such as handheld wipe blades, sponges, rags, cloths and other types of handheld tools. Normally to clean a window it is desired to clean both the exterior and interior of the window to ensure that a clean view is provided through the window. This technique is particularly important when cleaning an automobile window. The outside surface may be clean but then the interior surface must also be cleaned to ensure a clear view for the user. Normally the cleaning of these surfaces is done separately by a user, where the user cleans the outside surface and then proceeds to clean the inside surface or vice versa. It would therefore be advantageous to have a system or device that allows a user to clean both surfaces simultaneously. Such an apparatus is disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,977,637 to Demers that makes the use of a window surface cleaning system especially designed to include a magnetic base that is covered with a specially designed cleaning bag. This rectangular base includes a hand grip and has an adjoining unit that is used in conjunction therewith. The adjoining unit includes a suction cup to support the unit on opposing side of the windshield.
The disclosure of Demers however shows that the device has a limited cross section and requires a specially designed bag to cover the magnetic base and the opposing base for use. The design of the present invention provides a more efficient cleaning device that cleans both inside and the exterior surfaces of the window.
The present invention relates to a glass cleaning system that includes: a two-ply cloth, a first side of the two-ply cloth and a second side of the two-ply cloth; a plastic insert within the two-ply cloth; a plurality of magnets secured on the plastic insert; and a handle system on the first side of the two-ply cloth and the second side provides a cleaning surface. The plurality of magnets work in conjunction with a second plurality of magnets within a second two-ply cloth to clean a glass surface. Preferably, the plurality of magnets include neodymium magnets and the handle system includes two loop handles.
The present invention relates to a cleaning device that provides for the insertion of magnets attached to a plastic insert on the interior of a cloth cleaning rag. The handles are provided on one side of the cleaning device so that a user may engage the handle and move the rag across the surface of a window. On the opposing side is a flat surface that is applied directly to the surface of the window. During use, a user uses a cleaning cloth on the exterior and an opposing cleaning cloth on the interior, where the magnets allow for the attraction of the two cloths once applied to the respective window surfaces. Once this attraction is achieved the cloths may be moved in conjunction and therefore provide cleaning on both the interior and exterior of the window through movement on one side thereof.
