The present invention relates to a biodegradable non-woven fabric, a method for producing a biodegradable non-woven fabric and a wipe. The biodegradable non-woven fabric comprises biodegradable fibers. At least a part of the biodegradable fibers is entangled with each other, such that individual biodegradable fibers are in contact with each other at entangling points. At least a part of the entangling points is provided with a biodegradable binder.

The present invention relates to the manufacturing equipment for web materials comprising fibers and particulate material, to a process of operating such an equipment and to particular materials resulting therefrom. Coaxially meltblown fibres are combined with a stream of particulate or short fiber material and the resulting commingled mixture is deposited onto a collector. The meltblown fibers are formed by nozzles which are divided into two or more sub-arrays configured to produce two or more different types of fiber, having e.g. different diameters and/or polymer composition.

This cleaning tool has a shape that includes an angle, a flat bottom surface and rounded front protuberances, and can be attached to any pole, either directly at the cleaning tool's receiving opening, or using the provided adaptor between the cleaning tool and pole. The cleaning tool is covered with a washable and removable microfiber sock, or a sanding or scrubbing pad is attached to hook material on the flat side of the tool. When the cleaning tool is attached to the opposite end of a painter's pole from the paint roller, a painter can seamlessly paint and clean errant drips without switching tools, by reversing the assembly.

A cleaning apparatus and related system is disclosed where the cleaning apparatus includes a one or more grabber that is actuated by a one or more slider such that the cleaning apparatus is moveable between a closed position and an open position. By moving the cleaning apparatus into the open position, a user is able to place the apparatus over a pad. Moving the apparatus into a closed position while over the pad causes the grabber to pinch the pad to the base, thereby securing it to the apparatus. When the user wishes to discard the pad, the apparatus is moved from the closed position to the open position, releasing the pad.

A cleaning pad for an autonomous cleaning robot evenly wets and collects debris for cleaning operations. The pad includes a core of absorbent layers for absorbing liquid through capillary action and for distributing the liquid within the cleaning pad. The pad includes a wrap layer around the core, the wrap layer comprising a fibrous layer that is flexible and absorbent, the fibrous layer configured to absorb liquid through capillary action and transfer the liquid to the core. The pad includes one or more transition regions spanning a cleaning width of the cleaning pad, the one or more transition regions dividing the cleaning pad into at least two segments. The forward positioned segment of the pad, of the at least two segments of the pad, has a lesser thickness compared to a thickness of an aft positioned segment of the at least two segments.

A disposable cleaning wipe that can used by hand or by attachment to a sweeper is provided wherein the cleaning wipe has tacky pick-up material concentrated at its working surfaces as opposed to within its intermediate region.
