Abstract
An elongated wringable chamois pad is used for washing, rinsing and wiping large surface areas. A poly sponge measuring about sixteen and one-half inches long by about four inches wide by about two inches high is tightly enclosed within a chamois covering with die cut holes. The elongated chamois covering is first formed by stitching together two pairs of smaller rectangular pieces of chamois. The resulting elongated sheets of each pair of chamois is stitched together with the other pair on two or three sides then turned inside out forming a pocket with smooth outward seams on the two parallel long edges, one end edge and around the circumference in the center of the invention between the two opposing short ends. The elongated sponge is slightly compressed and is forced into the pocket. Finally, the last short end of the chamois covering is stitched.
