Abstract
An absorbent tablet is provided for the quick and convenient cleanup of persons, dirt, grime, spills, leaks, drips, sprays, etc. The absorbent tablet generally includes a substantially rigid backing sheet and a plurality of absorbent sheets stacked on top of the backing sheet, one on top of the other. Each of the absorbent sheets has absorbent properties for addressing dirt cleanup and liquid cleanup and containment. A binding element binds the backing sheet and the plurality of absorbent sheets together along one edge thereof to form the absorbent tablet. A weakened line is formed in each of the absorbent sheets along the one edge thereof adjacent the binding, enabling individual absorbent sheets to be torn and removed from the tablet. The absorbent tablet may be hung at an appropriate location for use via a hanging element connected to the backing sheet and designed for such purposes.
