Abstract

Abstract A disposable plastic clean up glove is economical to manufacture and easy to use and is made from two sheets of thermo setting plastic sheets joined together by heat sealing into shape and perforated for easy detachment. A fastener cut extends along the outside of the cuff portion and a tie strip extends along the fastener. Once an object is picked up using the glove, the glove is turned inside out to form a container and the fastener closed. The tie strip may be closed for double security and an aroma bubble located on the outside of the glove, now inside of the container, is burst to disinfect and deodorize the held contents.
