Abstract: An abrasive cleaning device for surfaces is a device utilized to dislodge small particles from a surface in order to facilitate the removal of the small particles and the cleaning of the surface. An abrasive scrubbing attachment such as a pumice stone is attached to a base pad and is rubbed against the surface in order to dislodge the small particles. The device may be maneuvered by a handling member with a mounting slot that is able to accommodate a grasping handle, a vacuum hose, or similar attachment for maneuvering the device. The device may include a debris-removal port when in use with a vacuum in order to allow dislodged small particles to be drawn through the abrasive scrubbing attachment, the base pad, and the handling member into the vacuum.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for promoting a person, place or thing. The method includes forming a design into clay, and then firing the clay into final form. The design is associated with the person, place or thing such that a third party, when viewing the design, will associate the design with the person, place or thing being promoted. Preferably, the design is formed using a clay cane method, including the steps of assembling a clay cane with a design in cross-section, rolling the clay cane to a predetermined diameter, and then removing sections of the clay cane for later firing.
