         7 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two interior sheets have the same thickness. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the woven material comprises one or more strips that can be used for attaching the cleaning device to the cleaning head of the cleaning element. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning device of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more strips are positioned such that they cover at least a portion of the interior portion of the top sheet. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning device of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more strips are positioned such that they cover at least a portion of the ledge. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaning device of  claim 10 , wherein at least one additional strip is positioned such that it covers at least a portion of the ledge of the at least one bottom sheet, wherein the at least one additional strip is suitable for scrubbing. 
     
     
         12 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the woven material comprises one or more strips that can be used for attaching the cleaning device to the cleaning head of the cleaning element and the at least one bottom sheet of the cleaning device includes two strips positioned on the ledge and are suitable for attachment to the cleaning head of the cleaning element and are suitable for scrubbing. 
     
     
         13 . A cleaning element in combination with the cleaning device of  claim 12 . 
     
     
         14 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the woven material comprises two strips that can be used for attaching the cleaning device to the cleaning head of the cleaning element and are also suitable for scrubbing t and the at least one bottom sheet includes two strips positioned such that they cover at least a portion of the ledge of the at least one bottom sheet and the strips are suitable for attachment to the cleaning head of the cleaning element and are also suitable for scrubbing. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the woven material comprises two strips positioned such that they cover at least a portion of the ledge of the at least one top sheet and that can be used for attaching the cleaning device to the cleaning head of the cleaning element and are also suitable for scrubbing, and the at least one bottom sheet of the cleaning device includes two strips positioned such that they cover at least a portion of the ledge of the at least one bottom sheet and the strips are suitable for attachment to a cleaning head and are suitable for scrubbing. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the enhancement feature comprises a colored material that fades with use. 
     
     
         17 . A cleaning device comprising:
 one or more top sheets and at least one bottom sheet that are stacked such that the edges of the one or more top sheets and the at least one bottom sheet are in alignment;   the one or more top sheets and the at least one bottom sheet being joined together to form an interior cavity;   at least two interior sheets being inserted into the interior cavity, wherein the at least two interior sheets have a length and width that is less than a length and width of the one or more top sheets and, wherein said interior sheets consists of an absorbent material formed from an absorbent air-laid substrate, substantially made of cellulosic wood pulp fibers;   the at least two interior sheets causing an interior portion of the one or more top sheets to be defined by a ridge that transitions to a ledge extending from the edges of the at least two interior sheets towards the edges of the one or more top sheets and the at least one bottom sheet wherein a surface of at least one of the one or more top sheets and the at least one bottom sheet of the cleaning device comprising a woven material suitable for being attached to a cleaning element; and   wherein the cleaning device includes an enhancement feature.   
     
     
         18 . The cleaning device of  claim 17 , wherein the enhancement feature comprises a heat pack within the interior cavity that when actuated generates heat within the cleaning device. 
     
     
         19 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the enhancement feature comprises a glowing substance within the interior cavity that when actuated generates light within the cleaning device whereby the light fades as the cleaning devices wears. 
     
     
         20 . A cleaning device comprising:
 at least a first sheet and at least a second sheet that are stacked such that the edges of the at least first sheet and the at least second sheet are in alignment;   the at least first sheet and the at least second sheet being joined together to form an interior cavity;   at least two interior sheets being inserted into the cavity wherein the at least two interior sheets have a length and width that is less than a length and width of the at least first sheet and, wherein said interior sheets consists of an absorbent material formed from an absorbent air-laid substrate, substantially made of cellulosic wood pulp fibers;   the at least two interior sheets causing an interior portion of the at least first sheet to be defined by a ridge that transitions to a ledge extending from the edges of the at least two interior sheets towards the edges of the at least first sheet and the at least second sheet wherein a woven attachment material is attached proximate to the at least first sheet or the at least second sheet; and   wherein the cleaning device includes one or more of a heat pack within the interior cavity that when actuated generates heat within the cleaning device and comprises a glowing substance within the interior cavity that when actuated generates light within the cleaning device whereby the light fades as the cleaning devices wears.
