Wash system, method and apparatus

Abstract

A wash apparatus is provided. The wash apparatus includes a body including a contact surface to contact an article to be cleaned and a gripping surface grippable by a user, wherein the body includes at least one lobe portion and at least one tapered portion, and wherein the gripping surface includes a grip mechanism for securing a hand of the user to the wash apparatus.

1 . A wash apparatus comprising:
 a body including a contact surface to contact an article to be cleaned and a gripping surface grippable by a user;   wherein the body includes at least one lobe portion and at least one tapered portion; and   wherein the gripping surface includes a grip mechanism for securing a hand of the user to the wash apparatus.   
   
   
       2 . The wash apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a compartment configured to selectively receive a fluid dispenser operable by the hand of the user to dispense fluid to the contact surface.   
   
   
       3 . The wash apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the compartment positions a nozzle of the fluid dispenser recessed from the contact surface. 
   
   
       4 . The wash apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the compartment is configured to facilitate access from the edge of the wash apparatus to the fluid dispenser such that the fluid dispenser may be selectively removed from the wash apparatus. 
   
   
       5 . The wash apparatus of  claim 2  wherein a nozzle of the fluid dispenser is positioned to be triggered by a thumb of the hand of the user when the hand is secured in the grip mechanism. 
   
   
       6 . The wash apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the fluid dispenser dispenses foam cleaning fluid. 
   
   
       7 . The wash apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the fluid dispenser includes a selectively disposable canister of fluid. 
   
   
       8 . The wash apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a waterproof layer disposed on the gripping surface of the wash apparatus.   
   
   
       9 . The wash apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one tapered portion tapers to a point. 
   
   
       10 . The wash apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a removably coupled task attachment that extends across at least a portion of the contact surface of the wash apparatus. 
   
   
       11 . A wash system comprising:
 a wash apparatus including a contact surface to contact an article to be cleaned, a gripping surface grippable by a user, and a receiver for receiving a fluid dispenser;   the fluid dispenser configured to dispense foaming fluid onto the contact surface; and   a user grip mechanism located on the grip surface configured to receive a hand of a user to grip the wash apparatus.   
   
   
       12 . The wash system of  claim 11  wherein the fluid dispenser is positioned to facilitate access from an edge of the wash apparatus that is perpendicular to the contact surface such that the fluid dispenser may be selectively removed from the wash apparatus. 
   
   
       13 . The wash system of  claim 11  wherein a nozzle of the fluid dispenser is positioned recessed from the contact surface. 
   
   
       14 . The wash system of  claim 11  wherein the grip mechanism is selectively adjustable to secure the hand of the user to the grip mechanism. 
   
   
       15 . The wash system of  claim 11  wherein the wash apparatus includes at least one lobe portion and at least one tapered portion. 
   
   
       16 . A wash apparatus comprising:
 a contact surface to engage a surface to be cleaned;   a grip surface grippable by the hand of a user; and   a compartment for securing a fluid dispenser configured to dispense fluid to the contact surface responsive to being triggered by a user of the wash system.   
   
   
       17 . The wash apparatus of  claim 16  further comprising:
 a grip mechanism disposed on the grip surface and configured to receive a hand of the user.   
   
   
       18 . The wash apparatus of  claim 16  wherein the fluid dispenser includes a selectively disposable canister that dispenses foam. 
   
   
       19 . The wash apparatus of  claim 16  wherein the compartment is configured to position a nozzle of the fluid dispenser flush with an edge of the wash apparatus that is perpendicular to the contact surface. 
   
   
       20 . The wash apparatus of  claim 16  wherein the contact surface is configured to selectively receive a task attachment that extends across at least a portion of the contact surface of the wash apparatus.
