         11 . The cleaning device of  claim 1  wherein the securing element coupling said pull element to said rear portion of the glove is a structural portion of the rear portion of the glove folded and on itself and coupled to itself thereby defining a channel for the pull element and wherein the glove folded portion further comprises an opening allowing the pull element to be pulled outwardly and adapted to be tied. 
     
     
         12 . The cleaning device of  claim 1  wherein the cleaning layer is a pre-moistened cleaning wipe further comprising perforations adapted to facilitate adhesion to the insulation layer and the glove. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaning device of  claim 1  wherein the glove is formed from a single sheet of flexible plastic being at least one of a hypoallergenic plastic, a recyclable plastic, a recycled plastic, and a biodegradable plastic. 
     
     
         14 . The cleaning device of  claim 1  wherein the glove, the insulating material and the cleaning layer are coupled along the outer perimeter of the glove. 
     
     
         15 . A kit comprising:
 a) a resealable packaging; and   b) at least one cleaning device disposed within said packaging, each of the at least one cleaning device comprising:
 i) a glove having a first side and a second side directly opposite said first side, a front end defining a fingers section and a rear end defining a glove opening and a palm section between said fingers section and the rear end and an outer perimeter of the glove; 
 ii) a length of insulating material securely coupled to said first side of the glove; 
 iii) a pre-moistened cleaning layer extending the length of the insulating material and said first side of a glove portion and coupled to the length of insulating material; and 
 iv) a pull element operatively coupled to said rear portion of the glove and a securing element coupling said pull element to said rear portion of the glove; wherein said glove is used to clean an external surface and turned around from the glove opening and used as a disposable container. 
   
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 15  wherein the at least one cleaning device includes a plurality of cleaning. 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 15  wherein each individual cleaning device is folded around a portion of another cleaning device such that when a user pulls the at least one of the cleaning device, a second cleaning device is at a top surface of the packaging for ease of use.
