CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 60/720,630 filed Sep. 26, 2005 and is incorporated herein by reference. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0003] This disclosure relates to a cleaning glove and a method of cleaning a contaminated surface, and in particular, to a cleaning glove having at least one cleaning surface sealed by a removable impervious cover and having a fastener which seals debris within the cleaning glove when the user is finished cleaning the contaminated surface. [0004] The various cleaning gloves and pads currently use an abrasive cleaning surface to provide scouring action when applying a cleaning solution to a contaminated surface. Typically, however, the user's hands contact the cleaning solution when the user applies the cleaning solution to the pad, or to the associated abrasive cleaning surface glove. The user's hands also contact the cleaning solution and debris when the user grasps the pad during the scouring action. Additionally, the user's hands contact the used pad/glove and associated debris when the user is finished with cleaning the contaminated surface. [0005] Furthermore, dispersing the cleaning solution on the contaminated surface or on the abrasive cleaning surface of the pad/glove leads to repeated steps since the user typically does not apply the proper amount of the cleaning solution during each disbursement. Although cloths pre-soaked with cleaning solution eliminate the disbursement issue, this cleaning solution often evaporates due to the packaging conditions of the cloth. Additionally, the user's hands contact the pre-soaked cloth then the user pulls the pre-soaked cloth from the package. [0006] For hygienic or allergenic reasons, users require a cleaning glove that prevents user contact with the abrasive cleaning surface, the cleaning solution and the debris. Users also require that the cleaning glove sealably encloses a pre-soaked cleaning surface. SUMMARY [0007] This disclosure relates to a cleaning glove and a method of cleaning a contaminated surface, and in particular, to a cleaning glove having at least one cleaning surface sealed by an impervious cover. The cleaning glove of the present disclosure also seals debris within the cleaning glove when the user is finished cleaning the contaminated surface. [0008] The cleaning glove comprises a first layer and a second layer that are partially sealed together to form an expanded hand portion between the first layer and the second layer. The partially sealed first layer and second layer also form an access opening defined therethrough. The cleaning glove further comprises at least one cleaning surface attached to the first layer, wherein this at least one cleaning surface has a cleaning solution permeated therein. [0009] Additionally, the cleaning glove comprises an impervious cover removably attached to the first layer, wherein the impervious cover sealably encloses the at least one cleaning surface. The impervious cover is removable with respect to the first layer to expose the at least one cleaning surface. During use, a user's hand fits within the expandable hand portion such that the user's hand applies the exposed at least one cleaning surface against the contaminated surface such that the first layer and the second layer prevent contact between the cleaning surface and the user's hand. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] In the accompanying drawings which form part of the specification: [0011] FIG. 1 is breakaway perspective view of the cleaning glove constructed in accordance with and embodying the present disclosure illustrating a first layer, a second layer and at least one cleaning surface; [0012] FIG. 2 is a front elevational of FIG. 1 illustrating the at least one cleaning surface fastened to the first layer; [0013] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the cleaning glove of FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrating a hand disposed within an expandable hand portion and a removable cover disposed over the at least one cleaning surface; [0014] FIG. 4 is a partial cross section view of the cleaning glove of FIGS. 1-3 illustrating the first layer, the second layer, the expandable hand portion, the at least one cleaning surface and the removeable cover wherein the cross section view is exaggerated for clarity; and [0015] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of cleaning using the cleaning glove of the present disclosure. [0016] Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0017] The following detailed description illustrates the disclosure by way of example and not by way of limitation. The description clearly enables one skilled in the art to make and use the disclosure, describes several embodiments, adaptations, variations, alternatives, and uses of the disclosure, including what is presently believed to be the best mode of carrying out the disclosure. [0018] Referring to the drawings, a disposable cleaning glove 10 constructed according to the principles of the present disclosure is shown. The cleaning glove 10 is particularly adapted for sealing the user's hand 12 from contacting the contaminated surface and for sealing the user's hand 12 from the used cleaning glove 10.
