Ergonomics (Product description and Idea Trigger)

i) Describe the product.
It has a stiff, yellow, wool like scrub on top of a sponge attached to a green handle to hold product. It can be used for cleaning dishes and such. 
ii) What are the design considerations when designing this product? Will the sponge come out?  Is it nice to hold the handle?
iii) Would an elderly faced difficulty using this product? If yes, what are the difficulties that the elderly would face? It is hard for the elderly to apply enough pressure to clean the plates etc. plates.
iv) What do you think can be done to improve on the design of the product to suit the elderly? (Sketch the improved design in your sketchbook and take a picture of it. Post the improved sketch at the end of your post.)
A round rubber-coated handle to get a good grip and a wider scrub area.
