Cleaning device made of foam having an abrasive surface

Abstract

A cleaning device ( 4, 4 a, 4 b, 4′ b, 4 c, 4′ c, 4 d, 4′ d ) for cleaning surfaces, comprising a main body ( 5, 5 a, 5 b, 5 c, 5 d ) made of foam, is characterized, in regard to the task of designing and improving a cleaning device of the type mentioned above such that it has an abrasive surface with which liquid, but at the same time hair and dirt particles, can be reliably collected, in that flock material ( 2, 2 d ) is assigned to the main body ( 5, 5 a, 5 b, 5 c, 5 d ) and the flock material ( 2, 2 d ) is arranged on a surface ( 6, 6 a, 6 b, 6 c, 6 d ) of the main body ( 5, 5 a, 5 b, 5 c, 5 d ) which can face a floor surface to be cleaned.

1 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A cleaning device for cleaning a surface, the cleaning device comprising:
 a foam main body having flocked material allocated thereon, wherein the flocked material is arranged on a surface of the main body, and wherein the surface of the main body can be turned to face the surface to be cleaned.   
     
     
         14 . The cleaning device of  claim 13 , wherein the flocked material is at least one of arranged in an insular manner and isolated in regions on the surface of the main body wherein the surface of the main body is not completely covered by the flocked material. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning device of  claim 13 , wherein the flocked material further comprises fibers and an adhesive matrix, the fibers injected into the adhesive matrix wherein unattached ends of the fibers project outwardly from the adhesive matrix. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaning device of  claim 15 , wherein the flocked material has fibers which range from 20 decitex to 100 decitex.

         18 . The cleaning device of  claim 13 , wherein the flocked material is arranged directly on the main body. 
     
     
         19 . The cleaning device of  claim 13 , wherein the flocked material is arranged on a layer, the layer attached to the main body. 
     
     
         20 . The cleaning device of  claim 13 , further comprising a gripping means arranged on the main body. 
     
     
         21 . The cleaning device of  claim 20 , wherein the gripping means is a head having a receptacle for a handle. 
     
     
         22 . The cleaning device of  claim 20 , wherein the gripping means is a retaining strip attached to the main body, the retaining strip configured to be received in a head. 
     
     
         23 . The cleaning device of  claim 13 , wherein the flocked material is configured as an elongated scrubbing edge of the main body. 
     
     
         24 . A set of cleaning tools comprising:
 a cleaning device having a foam main body having flocked material allocated thereon, wherein the flocked material is arranged on a surface of the main body, the surface of the main body can be turned to face the surface to be cleaned; and   a dustpan, wherein the dustpan is equipped with the flocked material.   
     
     
         25 . The set of cleaning tools of  claim 24 , wherein the dustpan has a supporting edge on which flocked material is arranged.
