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.

         20 . An abrasive pad adapted to be removably attachable to a mop chosen from the group consisting of a commercial type mop, a yacht mop and a strip mop comprising:
 the abrasive pad having one side being adapted for scrubbing and the other side having a water resistant adhesive laminated thereto wherein the adhesive can withstand up to at least 140° F. and can tolerate water solvent based chemicals and whereby the adhesive covers substantially the other side; and   a removable cover releasably attached to the adhesive whereby the removable cover is adapted to be removed and the adhesive laminated to the abrasive pad is thereafter attached to the mop.   
     
     
         21 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the removable cover includes a silicone coating in one of a plastic and paper carrier. 
     
     
         22 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the adhesive can withstand up to the boiling point of water. 
     
     
         23 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the abrasive pad further includes at least one rib formed therein. 
     
     
         24 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the abrasive pad further includes a plurality of ribs formed therein. 
     
     
         25 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 23  wherein the rib is adapted to fit into grout between tiles. 
     
     
         26 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 24  wherein each rib is adapted to fit into grout between tiles. 
     
     
         27 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 21  wherein the mop has 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. 
     
     
         28 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 21  wherein the adhesive pad is further water proof. 
     
     
         29 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the adhesive is a double sided tape that is laminated to the other side of the abrasive pad. 
     
     
         30 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 29  wherein the double sided tape is laminated to the abrasive pad by way of rollers. 
     
     
         31 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the adhesive is attached to the abrasive pad by way of one of spraying, dipping, and rolling thereon. 
     
     
         32 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the abrasive pad has a plurality of holes formed therein. 
     
     
         33 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the adhesive is a silicone coating on one of a plastic carrier and a paper carrier. 
     
     
         34 . The abrasive pad as claimed in  claim 20  wherein the adhesive is a double sided tape laminated to the abrasive pad and the double sided tape has a carrier chosen from the group consisting of polyvinylchloride, polyester and plastic. 
     
     
         35 . 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 wherein the adhesive is a silicone coating on one of a plastic carrier and a paper carrier and wherein the adhesive can withstand up to at least 140° F. and can tolerate water solvent based chemicals; 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.)   
     
     
         36 . 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 wherein the adhesive is a double sided tape laminated to the abrasive pad and the double sided tape has a carrier chosen from the group consisting of polyvinylchloride, polyester back and plastic and wherein the adhesive can withstand up to at least 140° F. and can tolerate water solvent based chemicals; 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.
