Definitions
- the invention relates to a mop cover, a flat wiper and a cleaning system, wherein the mop cover is releasably attachable to the flat wiper bar.
- Mop covers are known for example from DE 100 0392 A1. There, a wiper device is shown, on which a mop cover can be exchangeably secured, wherein the mop cover may consist of a foamed plastic material.
- mop covers which consist of a textile material.
- these mop covers especially when these mops are used in connection with a folding flat wiper and a funnel-shaped wringer, it is disadvantageous that when wet wiping sensitive floors, such as parquet, an undesirably high residual moisture remains on the floor.
- the invention has for its object to provide a mop cover for a flat wiper, which is suitable for wet cleaning sensitive floors and is easy to wring out.
- a mop cover having at least one cleaning side, which is releasably attachable to a flat wiper, comprising a carrier which is connected to a cleaning body made of foam, wherein on the longitudinal sides of the mop cover on the side facing away from the cleaning body of the support a retaining device is arranged ,
- Foam cleaning bodies can absorb a large amount of cleaning fluid, and the cleaning fluid is also released quickly. As a result, the wringing of a cleaning body made of foam is easy and when wiping remains only a small residual moisture on the floor.
- the cleaning body made of foam is particularly well suited for cleaning sensitive floors, such as parquet.
- the foam is protected by the carrier from direct contact with the flat wiper, which increases the durability of the mop cover, since flat wipers are often sharp-edged, which would lead to premature wear of the foam during wiping.
- the volume of the mop cover increases, whereby the mop cover can be particularly easily wrung out in a funnel-shaped wringer.
- the foam has a high friction compared to a textile cleaning body. By the retention device prevents the Mop cover can slip when wiping under the flat wiper, which would reduce the cleaning performance.
- the retainer may extend along the entire longitudinal side. This is particularly well avoided that the mop cover can slip during wiping. Since the mop cover is usually fixed to the transverse sides on the flat wiper, the retaining device extending along the entire longitudinal side particularly prevents slippage of the mop cover in the region of the central axis.
- the retaining device may be formed on each longitudinal side by at least one bead-like textile strip which extends along the longitudinal sides and is secured thereto.
- Bead-like textile strips are easy to produce and can be easily attached, for example by sewing, on the mop cover.
- the retaining means may be formed by a plurality of, extending parallel to each other, textile strips which are attached to the longitudinal sides. These textile strips are also easy to produce and can be easily attached, for example by sewing, on the mop cover.
- the foam of the cleaning body may be formed of polyurethane, in particular polyester-polyurethane.
- Polyurethanes have good water release and therefore can be easily wrung out.
- polyurethanes have a low friction, which makes them particularly suitable as cleaning body.
- the carrier may be formed of nonwoven fabric. Nonwovens are inexpensive and protect the cleaning body by the soft but stable material of the nonwoven fabric against sharp-edged parts of the flat wiper.
- the surface of the cleaning body facing the surface to be cleaned can be profiled.
- the profiling can be formed, for example, in the form of serpentine lines which extend in the longitudinal direction of the cleaning body.
- the profiling reduces the contact area between the cleaning body and the surface to be cleaned, whereby the friction decreases. Due to the larger specific contact pressure, the cleaning performance of the cleaning body against firmly adhering dirt is improved. Dirt accumulates in the recesses, which increases the surface coverage of the mop cover.
- the cleaning body may be releasably attachable to the carrier.
- Cleaning body can then be attached to the carrier, for example by means of a hook and loop fastener. This allows a cost-effective replacement of the cleaning body when it wears prematurely.
- the mop cover On the transverse sides of the mop cover fasteners may be arranged. As a result, the mop cover can be attached to the flat wiper in a particularly simple and secure manner.
- the fastening means may be formed by pockets, which are arranged on the transverse sides on the side facing away from the surface to be cleaned of the mop cover.
- the pockets allow the mop cover to be attached to flat wipers of different sizes.
- the bags are easy and inexpensive to produce.
- the fastening means may be formed by strips which are arranged on the transverse sides of the mop cover, wherein on the strip push buttons for attachment to the flat wiper are arranged. By pressing the mop cover is captively secured to the flat wiper. Therefore, this compound is particularly advantageous when using funnel-shaped wringers.
- a seam may be arranged parallel to the transverse sides along the central axis.
- the seam forms a kind of film hinge in the region of the central axis and the mop cover can simply be folded around its central axis. As a result, the contactless wringing in a funnel-shaped wringing device is improved.
- the cleaning body may have on the side facing the surface to be cleaned a coating which is formed by an open-cell, coarse-pored foam.
- the pores of the foam have no cell walls.
- Such a foam has a high hardness, which reduces the friction of the cleaning body.
- a flat wiper with a folding along its central axis plate-shaped mop plate on a mop cover according to the invention is interchangeable fastened.
- the mop cover can be wrung out in a funnel-shaped wringer. Since the foam can be wrenched with little effort, remains little after wringing
- a cleaning system comprising a mop cover according to the invention, a flat wiper according to the invention and a mop with a wringer.
- wringing which may be formed in particular as a funnel-shaped wringer, the wringing is particularly simple and after wringing remains in the foam cleaning body little cleaning fluid. That's it
- 1 shows a mop cover in cross section
- 2 shows a mop cover in a perspective view

- 4 shows a flat wiper according to the invention with a mop cover
- 5 shows a cleaning system according to the invention.
- the mop cover 1 shows a mop cover 1 with a cleaning side 2.
- the mop cover 1 consists of a carrier 4 made of a nonwoven fabric which is connected on the cleaning side 2 with a cleaning body 5.
- the connection between carrier 4 and cleaning body 5 is made by a plurality of longitudinal and transverse seams.
- the connection between carrier 4 and cleaning body 5 can also be done by means of material adhesion, for example by gluing or laminating.
- the cleaning body 5 is made of foam, in this embodiment of a polyester-polyurethane whose cell walls can be reticulated to improve the water delivery of the foam.
- On the long sides 6, 7 is arranged on the cleaning body 5 side facing away from the carrier 4, a retainer 8.
