Cleaning implement

Abstract

A cleaning implement has an abrasive component and an absorbent component bound together. The absorbent component comprises a microfiber fabric. The abrasive component is crocheted from a polyester yarn with embedded abrasive particles such as metallic fibers. The cleaning implement may be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and configurations to meet task-specific needs or personal preference.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning implement, comprising:
 an abrasive component further comprising a crocheted piece comprising polyester yarn with abrasive particles embedded therein and   a microfiber absorbent component affixed to the abrasive component.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles further comprise metallic elements. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive component comprises a single layer piece. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive component comprises a double layer piece. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive component comprises a triple layer piece. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the absorbent component comprises a microfiber cloth. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , further comprising a liner attached to the abrasive component. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning implement comprises a floor sweeper. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning implement comprises a tooth brush. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning implement comprises a bottle scrubber. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning implement comprises a spherical scrubber. 
     
     
         12 . The cleaning implement of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive component comprises a glove shape. 
     
     
         13 . A method for cleaning an object, comprising:
 scrubbing the object with a first abrasive component of a cleaning implement comprising an abrasive further component comprising a crocheted piece comprising polyester yarn with abrasive particles embedded therein and   wiping the object with a second component of a cleaning implement comprising a microfiber fabric absorbent component affixed to the first abrasive component.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the object is a surface. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the surface is a floor 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the object is a tooth. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the object is a bottle.
