Abstract: An environmentally friendly fully compostable and biodegradable scrubbing sponge/pad in the form of a new scrubbing layer of material that can be secured to an existing liquid absorbent sponge layer of material, or alternatively, it can be formed having only a single scrubbing layer of material without it being secured to another sponge layer. Whichever form is used for the invention, the scrubbing layer referred to here as “bi-component” material is made from multi-layers of biopolymer fiber materials known by the brand names of Ecoview™ (offered by BASF™ company), or Ecoflex™ (offered by BASF™ company), in combination with single or multi-layers of PLA (Polylactic Acid) polymer material. The scrubbing layer may be made from extruded sheets or from non-woven or woven methods of said bi-component materials alone or in combination with natural fiber to form the scrubbing surface.

Abstract: A wet wipe pad designed to be connected or attached to floor mop heads or other cleaning tool handle that utilize a hook-and-loop mechanism for attaching the wipe pad thereto. The wipe pad can be made of multi layers of material that may include a cleaning layer ultrasonically welded to an attachment layer having an absorption layer disposed between the cleaning layer and the attachment layer. Alternatively, the wipe pad can be made from a single layer of material that can attach on one side thereof to the mop head or other cleaning tool handle, which also provides a cleaning surface on the other side of the single layer of material. The wipe pad of the invention may also be constructed from two layers of material that include a cleaning layer ultrasonically welded to an attachment layer.

Abstract: An apparatus configured as a scrub brush having an ergonomic handle. The body of the handle is designed to move an upper elongate portion of the scrub brush to a vertical position in a ‘rocking’ motion. To move the head of the scrub brush above the body, the ‘rocker brush’ includes a stabilizing weight positioned within a cavity formed in a rounded bottom of the handle. The weight in the rounded bottom causes the scrub brush to ‘flip’ upwards in a rocking motion when a user sets the scrub brush on a flat surface, such as a kitchen or bathroom countertop.
