Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the cleaning of surfaces, typically of floor surfaces.
  • the invention provides a dual-use cleaning cloth, usually used in the wet state to clean all home surfaces, and car windows, including but not limit to floors, tiles, baths, toilets, wood and metal surfaces, glass surfaces etc, one side of the cloth being arranged to absorb loose dirt while the opposite side of the cloth is arranged to remove dirt adhering to the surface being cleaned.
  • the invention also relates to a mop carrying the dual-use cloth as will be described.
  • a combination cleaning pad is disclosed by Sadovsky in US Patent No. 5,408,718 .
  • a central core has two large parallel surfaces, and a cover sewn to the central core.
  • the cover includes an abrasive portion and an absorbing portion.
  • the abrasive portion covers part of one of the major surfaces.
  • the wet cleaning cloth disclosed by Heitz in US Patent No. 6,491,998 B1 does have two different surfaces - on one side unbundled elastic fibers project 2-12 mm from the textile carrier.
  • the fibers are typically plastic and are claimed to enter hollows in the floor being cleaned and to remove dirt therefrom.
  • the present invention achieves the above objects by providing a cleaning cloth for cleaning dirty surfaces wherein said cloth has two major surfaces of different roughnesses, on opposite sides thereof, characterized in that said cloth is formed by a continuous knitting or weaving process utilizing at least two different filaments wherein a non-scratch abrasive monofilament is knitted into at least one of said surfaces.
  • said non-scratch abrasive monofilament is knitted into only one of said surfaces, although it is possible in other embodiments to weave or knit such a filament into both surfaces but in different ratios so that the two surfaces have different degrees of roughness.
  • a cleaning cloth wherein the filaments are polymeric filaments.
  • a cleaning cloth wherein the non-scratch abrasive monofilament is a polyamide. In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided a cleaning cloth wherein the non-scratch abrasive monofilament is a polyethylene
  • a cleaning cloth wherein the non-scratch abrasive monofilament is selected from the group consisting of polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, and a polyamide such as nylon 6/6 ® of Dupont.
  • a cleaning cloth comprising a first microfiber filament and a second polyamide filament.
  • a cleaning cloth comprising between about 75%-95% microfiber and about 5%-25% of a non-scratch abrasive monofilament selected from the group consisting of polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, and a polyamide such as nylon 6/6 ® of Dupont.
  • a cleaning cloth wherein the non-scratch abrasive monofilament is knitted or woven into one of the surfaces in a pattern of spaced apart rows.
  • a cleaning cloth wherein the polyamide is a nylon strip of about 100-300 micron thickness.
  • a cleaning cloth wherein the polyamide is a plurality of nylon filaments of about 100-300 micron thickness.
  • a cleaning cloth for cleaning dirty surfaces is provided in combination with a mop on which the cleaning cloth is arranged.
  • novel cloth of the present invention can be manufactured in a continuous process utilizing two different types of filaments:
  • FIG. 1 An enlarged detail of a cleaning cloth 10 for cleaning dirty surfaces wherein the cloth 10 is formed with two major surfaces 12, 14 (seen in FIG. 2) of different roughness, on opposite sides thereof.
  • the warp threads 16 are shown extending in a horizontal direction.
  • the weft threads 18 are seen crossing and re-crossing the warp threads 16.
  • the non-scratch abrasive filament 20 is also woven into the warp threads 16, but in a manner wherein the loops 22 extend outwards from one of the surfaces of the cloth.
  • the cloth 10 is formed by a continuous weaving or knitting process utilizing two different filaments 18, and 20, wherein an non-scratch abrasive monofilament 20 is knitted or woven into one of the surfaces to project therefrom.
  • non-scratch abrasive areas are formed by polymeric filaments 20.
  • the preferred non-scratch abrasive monofilament is a polyamide, particularly polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide nylon 6/6 and others. This material combines hardness, flexibility, wear resistance and low price.
  • the basic cleaning cloth 10 comprises a first microfiber filament, introduced as warp and weft threads 16 and 18, providing good absorption characteristics, and a second polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide nylon 6/6 filament 20 which serves as the non-scratch abrasive material.
  • Typical ratios are in the range of between about 75%-95% microfiber and about 5%-25% polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, and a polyamide such as nylon 6/6 ® of Dupont.
  • the preferred pattern of the cleaning cloth 10 wherein the non-scratch abrasive monofilament 20 is knitted or woven into one of the surfaces 12 in a pattern of spaced apart rows, is seen in FIG. 2.
  • the knitting or weaving process is arranged to position the polyamide rows projecting from a first surface 12 of the cloth and being flush with the opposite surface thereof 14.
  • a strip of this size is suitable for use as a thread for a knitting or a weaving process used to manufacture the non-scratch abrasive component of the cloth.
  • the strip 24 is strong, flexible and suitable for service as an non-scratch abrasive area or line.
  • the strip 24 is supplied using a spool 26 standard for the machine used to manufacture the cloth 10.
  • FIG. 4 there is depicted a detail of a cleaning cloth wherein the polyamide strip is composed of a group of 4 nylon filaments 28 of about 100-300 micron thickness.
  • the four filaments 28 are arranged in a single line, as seen in the figure. Again, a standard spool 26 is used.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cleaning cloth 10 for cleaning dirty surfaces in combination with a mop 30 on which cleaning cloth 10 is arranged.
  • the corners 32 of the cloth 10 are held to the mop 30 by means of a readily-opened clamp 34.
  • the cloth 10 can be readily reversed as needed to tackle adhering dirt particles.
