What is claimed is:
1. A waterproof scouring glove for cleaning rigid surfaces and having a flexible body including a palm a thumb, and finger stalls, the finger stalls including a second row of phalanges in the mid-finger area, the scouring glove comprising:
- an exterior palm side and an exterior knuckle side,
- a plurality of abrading or cleaning units defining cleaning surfaces and adhered to only said exterior palm side and only said exterior knuckle side of said second row of phalanges and positioned entirely within the confines thereof,
- whereby, the second row of phalanges may be utilized for forcibly applying pressure to said cleaning unit during scrubbing of a rigid surface when said glove is in the position of a clenched fist and, during such clenching, the second row of phalanges are capable of forcefully applying reciprocating action upon the rigid surface,
- said abrading or cleaning units including a single upper exterior palm cleaning surface covering substantially the entire upper exterior palm and exterior palm side finger areas of the glove body; and
- a single lower exterior palm cleaning surface covering substantially the entire lower palm area extending from the natural transverse crease in the palm to the top of the wrist, wherein said upper and said lower cleaning surfaces are separated by a transverse linear gap free of abrading or cleaning units disposed substantially at the location of the natural transverse crease of the palm;
- whereby the capacity of the user to form a tight, clenched fist is enhanced by reason of such transverse linear separation between said upper and lower palm surfaces,
- an absorption layer disposed between said cleaning surfaces and the flexible glove body;
- a lower cleaning surface covering substantially the entire lower palm area extending from the natural transverse crease in the palm to the top of the wrist, wherein said upper and lower cleaning surfaces are separated by a transverse linear gap disposed substantially at the location of the natural transverse crease of the palm;
- whereby the capacity of the user to form a tight, clenched fist is enhanced by reason of such transverse linear separation between said upper and lower palm surfaces,
- whereby said absorptive layer may absorb water of a liquid solution of detergent for usage in combination with said cleaning surfaces;
- said absorptive layer is adhered to the flexible glove body with a pressure-responsive adhesive, a wall around at least a portion of said abrading or cleaning units.
