Abstract

Improvements in a cleaning or polishing device made from a minimum of two approximately hand-sized cloth panels that are rotated sequentially after becoming soiled is disclosed. Each of the panels can be visually discriminated from the others by a plurality of indicia, consisting of numbers, symbols, tabs, objects, colors, letters, further being in a recognizable sequence by the user or to indicate purpose or task orientation. The cleaning or polishing device also includes the method of using the panels by following a simple and efficient series of directions as to how to rotate the panels and using each of the panels in a preferred order of use, thus maximizing the use of the surface area of the material and eliminating waste or contamination.
