Abrasive pad releasably attachable to cleaning devices

Abstract

An abrasive pad is adapted to be removably attachable to a device. The abrasive pad has one side being adapted for scrubbing and the other side has a water resistant adhesive attached thereto. A removable cover is releasably attached to the adhesive whereby the removable cover is adapted to be removed and the adhesive attached to the abrasive pad is thereafter attached to the cleaning device.

1 . An abrasive pad adapted to be removably attachable to a device comprising:
 the abrasive pad having one side being adapted for scrubbing and the other side having a water resistant adhesive attached thereto; and   a removable cover releasably attached to the adhesive whereby the removable cover is adapted to be removed and the adhesive attached to the abrasive pad is thereafter attached to the cleaning device.   
   
   
       2 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the removable cover includes a silicone coating in one of a plastic and paper carrier. 
   
   
       3 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the adhesive can withstand up to the boiling point of water. 
   
   
       4 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the adhesive can withstand up to at least 140° F. 
   
   
       5 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 3  wherein the adhesive can tolerate water solvent based chemicals. 
   
   
       6 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 4  wherein the adhesive can tolerate water solvent based chemicals. 
   
   
       7 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the abrasive pad further includes at least one rib formed therein. 
   
   
       8 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the abrasive pad further includes a plurality of ribs formed therein. 
   
   
       9 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the rib is adapted to fit into grout between tiles. 
   
   
       10 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 8  wherein each rib is adapted to fit into grout between tiles. 
   
   
       11 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the device is one of a commercial mop, a yacht mop, a strip mop, a hand held car wash glove, a rubber gloves, a vacuum cleaner, a steam mop, a scrub sponge, a car wash brush and a sponge mop. 
   
   
       12 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the device is a mop having an elongate handle and the abrasive pad is adapted to be attached to the mop in a position such that pressure on the elongate handle translates into pressure on the abrasive pad. 
   
   
       13 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the adhesive pad is further water proof. 
   
   
       14 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the adhesive is a double sided tape that is laminated to the other side of the abrasive pad. 
   
   
       15 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 14  wherein the double sided tape is laminated to the abrasive pad by way of rollers. 
   
   
       16 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the adhesive is attached to the abrasive pad by way of one of spraying, dipping, and rolling thereon. 
   
   
       17 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the abrasive pad is adapted to be attached to a microfibre cover attached to a head of the steam mop. 
   
   
       18 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 17  wherein the abrasive pad has a plurality of holes formed therein. 
   
   
       19 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the abrasive pad has a plurality of holes formed therein and the abrasive pad is adapted to be attached to one of the vacuum cleaner and the steam mop.
