EXPOSURE OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0025] In relation to the drawings and references listed above, a preferred arrangement of the object of the inventions is illustrated in the attached drawings, referred to as a vegetable fiber sponge (1) for domestic use that is a cylindrical body (2) permanently attached at its ends (5) and having at least three internal cavities (3) and consists of compact and tangled plant fibers (4) randomly linked together.

[0026] As can be seen in FIG. 1, due to this arrangement of the vegetable fibers (4), deep cleaning of the surface is allowed by eliminating all kinds of dirt and fouling quickly, easily and efficiently. Vegetable fibers (4) can be obtained from Luffa or other types of plant fibers. In this manner, since no artificial or chemical additives contain plant fibers (4), they do not contaminate and are therefore not harmful to the environment or the user's skin.

[0027] The binding of the vegetable fibers (4) permanently at their ends (5) prevents unwanted penetration of dirt such as food debris inside the vegetable fiber sponge (1). In this manner, unwanted proliferation of germs and bacteria is avoided. The binding of the vegetable fibers (4) can be done by sewing or other permanent binding such as a glue.

[0028] On the other hand, as the cylindrical body (2) is compressible, it is possible to adapt the vegetable fiber sponge (1) to any type of surface, recovering its initial shape after use, avoiding breakage and therefore making a sponge of vegetable fiber (1) versatile.

[0029] In addition, since the vegetable fibers (4) are between 0.015 millimeters and 0.10 millimeters thick, a large surface scrubbing capacity is obtained, guaranteeing an effective cleaning, without supposing an effort for the user, and ensuring that water can leave the cylindrical body (2).

[0030] Additionally, the vegetable fibers (4) have a separation between 0.10 millimeters and 0.35 millimeters, which prevents food debris or other dirt from remaining in the vegetable fibers (4) or penetrating into the inside of the vegetable fiber sponge (1). In this manner, an aseptic vegetable fiber sponge (1) is obtained.

[0031] Finally, as seen in FIG. 2, and for this specific embodiment, the vegetable fiber sponge (1) has four internal cavities (3) in which a cleaning product can be inserted. Thus, since a cleaning product, which can be liquid or solid, contains an insert, the cylindrical body (2) itself has the appropriate housing for containing the usual cleaning chemical.

[0032] Variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of the component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, do not alter the essence of this invention, and are therefore sufficient to allow for their duplication by an expert.
