Multi-purpose apron

Abstract

A multi-purpose apron includes a main apron portion for protecting a user's clothes, the user, and/or any surfaces that the user is working on. For example, the main apron portion may be a soft cloth for protecting furniture and cars being serviced by the user as well as protecting the user's clothes. The main apron portion extends from the waist of the user to the user's knees. The apron further includes an extension having a material different from the main apron portion and a pocket for the user to place their hand in to use on the surface being worked on. For example, the extension may have a material selected for dusting furniture, or a material selected to wipe surfaces dry and clean.
