A scraper sponge for cleaning and scraping away unwanted substances from an object or surface comprising a sponge body defining a first surface, first layer, second layer, third layer, second surface opposite the first surface, a continuous side surface around the perimeter; and the back of a scraper attachment that is inserted through an aperture in layers two and three then rests firmly against the first layer where it borders the second layer and a smaller cylinder shaped part on the back of the scraper attachment is inserted through a smaller aperture approximately through the middle of the first layer and first surface and held in place by a scraper cap and fixedly secured with adhesive. The entire surface area of the scraper, on its front surface, is covered with pyramid shaped points extending outwardly in the direction of the second surface of the sponge body and is made level with the second surface of the sponge body when forces are applied to the top surface of the scraper cap and subsequent back of scraper attachment to manipulate the rigid scraper on a hard surface. The sponge body has three surfaces available for cleaning and scouring: the first surface, front scraper attachment surface and second surface. The seamless second layer, third layer, and continuous side surface of the second and third layer are made of the same sponge-like cellulose material. As an alternative, the second layer, third layer, second surface, and the continuous side surface of the second and third layer are not made of the same material and the sponge body has at least four surfaces adapted for cleaning and scouring; the first surface, scraper attachment front surface, the continuous side surface of layer two and the second surface.

A cleaning device for removing marks from a surface includes a body of melamine foam sponge having a front side and a rear side opposed to the front side, and a holding layer secured to the rear side of the body of melamine foam sponge to prevent relative movement therebetween. The holding layer is preferably a cloth and more preferably natural or synthetic chamois which can be used to wipe and/or buff the surface after rubbing the body of melamine foam sponge on the surface to remove at least one surface mark. The body of melamine foam sponge can be pre-moistened with a liquid such as a disinfecting solution.

A pad includes a leading edge, a trailing edge having a thickness different from a thickness of the leading edge, a first portion oriented to engage a surface, and a second portion oriented to engage the surface. The second portion is more fluid absorbent than the first portion.

A cleaning article. The cleaning article has a laminate construction. The cleaning article comprises a sheet and a hydrophilic gather strip element joined together at plural bonds. The gather strip element has plural layers superimposed upon one another, providing strips extending outwardly from the bonds. Different layers are differentially bonded, to provide a construction which allows the strips to advantageously present a dynamically changing area to the target surface during cleaning, under normal usage conditions. By changing the surface area, more liquids, and associated debris, can be cleaned from the target surface.

The present invention relates to a wiping mop (10) with a housing (20), wherein an anchoring mechanism (11) for a handle (12) for guiding the wiping mop (10) is attached to the upper side of the housing. A wiping band (30) which is closed in itself is guided partially around and partially through the housing (20). On entry into the housing (20) the wiping band (30) runs through a mechanical dirt separator as well as a first (80) and a second (70) tank to be filled with wiping liquids in each case, whereby the wiping band (30) is cleaned of dirt particles taken up during use and is moistened for further wiping. Before leaving the second tank (80) the wiping band (30) is wrung out by cheeks of an outlet slot which are displaceable manually relative to one another.
