Abstract: |
The notion of a combination pair of work-gloves preferably formed of an imperforate latex type material generally found in the kitchen for protecting hands from detergent-soaps. The respective left and right members of the glove pair preferably functioning cooperatively to achieve a uniquely effective cleaning procedure, otherwise unattainable via a single handglove (or single-function pair). One of the pair of dual-function gloves features a scrub-pad substrate of polyester reticulate-fiber material permanently bonded to certain palm-side regions; while the companion glove features a sponge-pad substrate of open-celled cellulose-acetate material. Both glove embodiments featuring an optional wrapover of the fingernail tip regions, enhancing their respective scrubbing and absorbing actions. In use, the right-hand glove may serve the scrubbing function, while the left-hand glove may serve in follow-up rinse-cleaning operation;--or, the gloves may be employed independently.
