Cleaning instrument

Abstract

An improved cleaning instrument is described herein. The improved cleaning instrument includes at least a reusable inner component comprising a material and an outer component having a coarseness needed to complete a cleaning task. The outer component is configured to receive the reusable inner component therein. The inner component is reusable and configured for multiple uses. In some examples, the inner component comprises a cavity configured to receive water, soap, and/or a cleaning solution therein. In other examples, the inner component is a solid component. The outer component is biodegradable, recyclable, or eco-friendly. Optionally, the improved cleaning instrument includes a fixation means configured to secure the inner component within the outer component and/or a handle component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning instrument comprising:
 a reusable inner component comprising a material; and   an outer component having a coarseness needed to complete a cleaning task, the outer component being configured to receive the reusable inner component therein.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a fixation means configured to secure the reusable inner component within the outer component.   
     
     
         3 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a handle component.   
     
     
         4 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the material does not harbor bacteria. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the material is selected from the group consisting of: silicone, nitrile rubber (NBR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), a biodegradable plastic, and a compostable plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component comprises a material elastic enough to receive and stay on the reusable inner component. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the reusable inner component is configured for multiple uses. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the reusable inner component comprises a cavity configured to receive water, soap, and/or a cleaning solution therein. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the reusable inner component is a solid component. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein a surface of the reusable inner component comprises a raised pattern configured to provide coarseness. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein a material of the reusable inner component provides coarseness. 
     
     
         12 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: a mesh material, a solid viscose material, a natural fiber material, a cotton material, a steel wool material, a fabric material, a woven material, a non-woven material, and an elasticized nylon material. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component comprises layers of mesh in a circular pattern. 
     
     
         14 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component is biodegradable. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component is recyclable. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component is eco-friendly. 
     
     
         17 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the outer component is disposable after one or a few uses. 
     
     
         18 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning instrument is dishwasher safe. 
     
     
         19 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning instrument comprises materials that can withstand cleaning chemicals. 
     
     
         20 . The cleaning instrument of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a shape of the cleaning instrument is selected from the group consisting of: a circular shape, an oval shape, a rectangular shape, a square shape, a triangular shape, a quadrilateral shape, a pentagonal shape, a hexagonal shape, a heptagonal shape, an octagonal shape, a nonagonal shape, a decagonal shape, and a composite shape, and   wherein the composite shape is made from at least two shapes selected from the group consisting of: a circular shape, an oval shape, a rectangular shape, a square shape, a triangular shape, a quadrilateral shape, a pentagonal shape, a hexagonal shape, a heptagonal shape, an octagonal shape, a nonagonal shape, and a decagonal shape.
