Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present disclosure relates to a cleaning article. Specifically, the present disclosure provides for a set of cleaning articles that provide for sanitization for multiple parts of the body without cross contamination.
  • BACKGROUND
  • Personal care products, particularly cleansing products have become a very essential party of humanities day to day cleansing and sanitary needs. Typically, these cleansing products have attempted to satisfy a number of criteria to be acceptable to consumers. Ideal personal cleansers should gently cleanse the skin or hair, cause little or no irritation, and should not leave the skin or hair with an unsanitary surface that could lead to infection of viruses and diseases, or other sicknesses that result from contamination.
  • As such it is highly desirable to deliver cleansing benefits from washcloths or a set of cleaning articles, as a form of avoiding unsanitary exposure. An Article such as washcloths has low rigidity and are relatively thin so that when they are used, they do not retain their shape, which allows for contaminated washcloths to retain bacteria. An article crumples when wet which results in a decreased ease of use (handleability) during use. This decrease in handleability increases the overall delivery of a virus, or infectious disease that could be embedded within the article. Thus, a need for a set of cleansing articles having the ability to provide the benefit of preventing cross contamination.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Before any embodiments of the invention are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the following drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. Unless specified or limited otherwise, the terms “mounted,” “connected,” “supported,” and “coupled” and variations thereof are used broadly and encompass both direct and indirect mountings, connections, supports, and couplings. Further, “connected” and “coupled” are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections or couplings.
  • Some detailed example embodiments are disclosed herein. However, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely representative for purposes of describing example embodiments. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many alternate forms and should not be construed as limited to only the embodiments set forth herein.
  • The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit of essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
  • The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well as the singular forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
  • The following description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of describing the general principles of exemplary embodiments. Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” or similar language means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in an embodiment,” and similar language throughout this specification may, but do not necessarily, all refer to the same embodiment.
  • The present disclosure relates to a cleansing article. The article includes a set of wash cloths. The article includes one or more labels applied to each wash cloth in the set of wash cloths. The one or more labels of the article comprise of at least one body part name. In addition, washcloth or set of washcloths that are labeled to identify a specific body part or body parts for the cloth to clean, is disclosed.
  • Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, a set of cleansing articles to prevent cross-contamination can be implemented. The set of cleansing articles can include one or more washing devices such as wash clothes. The set can include any amount of wash cloths that are necessary in order to provide a sanitary washing experience for the user. In one preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, there can be a set of three wash cloths that provides a more sanitized way to clean the human body. This is essential in order to avoid using the same cloth to clean one's body. The use of this set is utilized in order to avoid using the same cloth in order to clean one's sensitive skin, such as for one's face, as this could cause medical problems. This is especially important when an individual cleans their backside, and then persists to use the same cloth for the rest of their body. Accordingly, in order to clear your buttocks with a cloth, causing the cloth to acquire what can be harmful and infectious bacteria, and then use the same cloth with the rest of the body would effectively spread waste products onto the rest of the body. As such, it is necessary to avoid a serious health hazard by using multiple sets of cloths in order to avoid using soiled or infected cloths on sensitive parts of the body.
  • In order to efficiently locate the proper wash cloth, the set of washcloths can be labeled to identify a specific body part or body parts for the cloth to clean. As such, one or more labels can be applied to one or more cloths in order to inform the user of which cloth they should use for each body part, to decrease the chance of infection or bodily waste from reaching other parts of the body. The labels can include one or more of the following words on the labels, in order to indicate one or more body parts, face, hair, body, butt, buttock, genitals, penis, vagina, pussy, dick, cock, nose, ears, hand, fingers, toes, feet, mouth, leg, arms, head, neck, fingers, private part, private parts, toes, ass, breast, chest, and back.
  • Accordingly, in one embodiment, there can be a set of three wash cloths. A first washcloth can be designated for the face, and be labeled with the word “face”. As such, the user will only use the wash cloth labeled “face” to clean their face. The second wash cloth can be designated for the body, and be labeled with the word “body”. The user will then be notified to only use this wash cloth for their body. The third washcloth can be labeled “butt”, in order to indicate that the washcloth is designated to clean their buttocks only. The labels can include any of the aforementioned labels, and also include additional labels as a user sees fit to incorporate in their washing and cleansing routine. Additionally, the cleansing article can include any amount of wash cloths as necessary for the user to ensure that there isn't any cross contamination between body parts, and associate bodily waste.
  • Example embodiments having thus been described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the intended spirit and scope of example embodiments, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
  • The following discussion is presented to enable a person skilled in the art to make and use embodiments of the invention. Various modifications to the illustrated embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles herein can be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from embodiments of the invention. Thus, embodiments of the invention are not intended to be limited to embodiments shown, but are to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein. The following detailed description is to be read with reference to the figures, in which like elements in different figures have like reference numerals. The figures, which are not necessarily to scale, depict selected embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of embodiments of the invention. Skilled artisans will recognize the examples provided herein have many useful alternatives and fall within the scope of embodiments of the invention.
