The present invention discloses a flexible cleansing pad with a scouring portion and a scrubbing portion that are characterized by all three parameters (i) hygienic and does not allow pathogen growth; (ii) an effective and easy cookware cleansing with water and soap, and (iii) undamaging the cookware, e.g., burnt pens and pots. The present invention also discloses methods of the production of the same.

A nonwoven hand pad includes a substrate having first and second opposed major surfaces wherein the first major surface includes a first functional region configured for a first cleaning operation, and the second major surface includes at least two functional regions configured for second and third cleaning operations. A method of cleaning using such a pad is also disclosed.

A grill-cleaning tool has a water-absorbent layer fabricated from a material that is suitable for transferring a volume of water. A fire-resistant layer is disposed outwardly of the water absorbent layer. A scrubbing outer layer fabricated from a metallic-mesh material covers both the fire-resistant layer and the water-absorbent layer. The water-absorbent layer and the heat-resistant layer may be incorporated into a single unit or may be separate layers. Fasteners are provided for assembling the layers together to form an assembled grill-cleaning tool.

A layered scrub having an aspect ratio of between 0.75 and 1.25 is presented, comprising: a) a scrubber layer; b) a sponge layer; optionally c) a rigid boundary layer, which optionally is directly bound to layer c) and/or layer b); and optionally d) a dense sponge layer. In some such embodiments, layers d) and b) are unitary. In some embodiments, the layered scrub has a height of between 5.0 centimeters and 11.0 centimeters and may be generally cubic. In some embodiments, the scrubber layer comprises a non-reticulated hydrophobic polyurethane foam, the sponge layer and/or the dense sponge layer comprises a hydrophilic polyurethane foam, and the rigid boundary layer comprises polyurethane. In some embodiments, dense sponge layer d) bears printed designs or information.

Drying and/or cleaning cloth has an elongated shape with a double-layered construction. Two sides are formed by cloth layers with an interior region in-between. The two sides are each bounded by two parallel longitudinal edges and two transverse edges. An opening is for reaching into the interior region between the two sides. The drying and/or cleaning cloth has a pentagonally configured region. In the pentagonally configured region one of the two transverse edges is aligned at right angles to the longitudinal edges and the other of the two transverse edges is formed by two angularly abutting front edge sections adjoining the corresponding longitudinal edges at an obtuse angle. The opening for reaching into the interior region between the two sides is provided in the region of the transverse edge aligned at right angles to the longitudinal edges.
