At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a glass cleaning device which comprises at least one handle, at least one cleaner device which can comprise at least one bar or at least one disc. The handle has at least one magnet disposed inside while the bar or the disc has at least one magnet disposed inside. In this way the cleaning device can operate through glass so that the movement of the handle moves the corresponding bar or the corresponding disc through electromagnetic attraction created by electromagnetic waves through the glass. At least one of the bar or the disc can have a cleaning surface such as a bristle surface which when moved can be used to clean a surface.

A flexible scrubbing tool with abrader includes a scrubber body and an abrader. The scrubber body may be composed of a scrubber base positioned beneath a shaft, middle handle, and top handle. The scrubber base contains a plurality of base channels, extending vertically through the scrubber base. The abrader may be composed of a planar, networked pattern of metal rings linked to one another to create a flexible sheet. The abrader is draped around the scrubber base and secured via an abrader ring to prevent the abrader from detachment.

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.

A scrubbing article including a substrate, a stain release coating and a texture layer. The stain release coating is applied to the substrate and is present over a at least a major surface of the substrate, and the texture layer is formed over the stain release coating opposite the substrate. In some embodiments, the texture layer is printed on to the stain release coating. The substrate can assume various forms, such as nonwoven, fabric (e.g., woven or knitted), foam, film and sponge material or combinations thereof.
