Abstract: A first base layer includes capability to attach the sandpaper cleaner to an appendage of the user, either elastic memory in the first embodiment, a pocket allowing the device to be worn on the hand as a mitt or, alternatively, belt-receiving slots or a protrudable flap for insertion into a user's pocket. A second layer is bonded to the upper surface of the first and features a material such as flocked foam for clearing accumulated particulate from the grit of the abrasive of the sandpaper.
