An article having a first portion, the first portion having a first texture; and a second portion, the second portion having a second texture, the second texture being rougher than the first texture; wherein the first portion and the second portion define an open cavity of sufficient size to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand; wherein the first portion and the second portion are formed from the same material; and wherein one of the portions has been treated to create its texture.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An article comprising: 
 a) a first portion, the first portion having a first texture; and    b) a second portion, the second portion having a second texture, the second texture being rougher than the first texture;    wherein the first portion and the second portion define an open cavity of sufficient size to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand;    wherein the first portion and the second portion are formed from the same material; and    wherein one of the portions has been treated to create its texture.    
   
   
       2 . The articles of  claim 1  wherein the material is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene and mixtures thereof.  
   
   
       3 . The article of  claim 2  wherein one of the portions further comprises woven rayon.

       5 . The article of  claim 4  wherein the liner comprises polyethylene laminate.  
   
   
       6 . The article of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the portions includes with an exudable composition.  
   
   
       7 . The article of  claim 6  wherein the exudable composition is dehydrated.  
   
   
       8 . The article of  claim 1  further comprising a reusable container removably surrounding the first portion and the second portion.  
   
   
       9 . The article of  claim 1  wherein the open cavity is of sufficient size to accommodate a human hand.  
   
   
       10 . The article of  claim 1  wherein the open cavity is of sufficient size to accommodate only a single finger of a human hand.  
   
   
       11 . An article comprising: 
 a) a first portion, the first portion having a first texture and a peripheral edge; and    b) a second portion, the second portion having a second texture and a peripheral edge, the second texture being rougher than the first texture;    wherein the first portion and the second portion are coupled to each other along their peripheral edges to define a cavity having an opening large enough for a finger; and    wherein at least one of the portions comprises polyethylene, polypropylene or mixtures thereof.    
   
   
       12 . The article of  claim 11  wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion further comprises cotton fibers, rayon fibers or blends thereof.  
   
   
       13 . The article of  claim 12  further comprising a waterproof liner coupled to at least one of the portions.

       17 . The article of  claim 16  wherein the glove may be used on either a right human hand or a left human hand.  
   
   
       18 . An article comprising: 
 a) a first portion, the first portion having a first texture; and    b) a second portion, the second portion having a second texture, the second texture being rougher than the first texture;    wherein the first portion and the second portion define an open cavity of sufficient size to accommodate at least one finger of a human hand;    wherein one of the portions has been treated to create its texture; and    at least one of the portions has an exudable composition.    
   
   
       19 . The article of  claim 18  wherein the exudable composition comprises a soap.  
   
   
       20  The article of  claim 18  wherein the exudable composition comprises a sunblock.  
   
   
       21 . The article of  claim 18  wherein the exudable composition comprises a tooth whitener.  
   
   
       22 . A method for caring for a surface comprising: 
 (a) selecting the article of  claim 18;     (b) placing the article on at least one finger;    (c) contacting the surface with the first portion; and    (d) contacting the surface with the second portion;    wherein items (c) and (d) can be done in either order.    
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 22  wherein at least one of step (c) and (d) further comprises applying the exudable composition to the surface.
