A cleaning pad structure of stitch bonded construction incorporating one or more substrate layers of an absorbent nonwoven material with an optional additional fluid blocking substrate layer of polymer film or other suitable material in juxtaposed relation to the absorbent nonwoven layers. Stitching yarns are introduced in stitching relation through the substrate layers. One face of the pad defines a cleaning surface of raised yarn loops formed by the stitched yarns. The pad further includes an attachment surface facing away from the cleaning surface. The stitches of yarns across the attachment surface define an engagement surface for attachment to cooperating hooking elements across a surface of a mop head to define a hook and loop attachment system.

A nonwoven sheet, having a first outwardly facing surface and a second outwardly facing surface. Wax is disposed in a wax pattern on the first surface; and oil is disposed in an oil pattern on the second surface. The oil pattern is not coincident the wax pattern so that wax blocks the oil from permeating through to the first surface. The first surface may be textured with peaks and valleys, having wax disposed on the peaks. This arrangement keeps the oil from contacting the target surface and leaving residue, while allowing the oil to collect and retain debris. The sheet may be executed as a dry sheet for cleaning surfaces such as floors or as a duster.

A method of using a flat headed mop is provided. The method includes cleaning a surface with the mop pad, then rotating the mop head into the folded position at a instance with a biasing member coupled to a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly being disposed between the mop head and a mop pole. Next, inserting the mop head into a first fluid to remove contaminants from the mop pad, then inserting the mop head into a wringing assembly to remove at least a portion of the first fluid.

A mop strand bundle a plurality having elongated first elongated cleaning tendrils having a first surface roughness and oriented in parallel relationship to one another and connected to one another in at least one location. The mop strand bundle also includes at least one elongated second cleaning tendril and a head band. The second elongated cleaning tendril is oriented in parallel relationship to at least one opposed elongated edge and is in moveable relationship with at least one first cleaning tendril. The elongated second cleaning tendril has a second surface roughness greater than the first surface roughness. The headband is positioned in overlying fixed relationship to the plurality of elongated first cleaning strands and connected to the at least one elongated second cleaning tendril at a location between the first and second ends of the plurality of elongated first cleaning tendrils.

A cleaning devise for cleaning and scrubbing preparations for all normal household surfaces. The Devise is made with cotton material/fabric with a coating of a special adhesive applied on it, then is heated to dry and becomes hard and abrasive. Then is shaped to a desire size and then is attached via sewing or adhesive preparations, to microfiber, cotton, and or polyester material/fabrics to create a scrubbing and cleaning household tool, like kitchen scrubber and or floor/mop cleaning devise. It can be used for a general household scrubbing and kitchen cleaning preparations. For floors and walls, counters tops, tiles, and all household kitchen tools.

A cleaning article. The cleaning article has a laminate construction. The cleaning article comprises a sheet and a hydrophilic gather strip element joined together at plural bonds. The gather strip element has plural layers superimposed upon one another, providing strips extending outwardly from the bonds. Different layers are differentially bonded, to provide a construction which allows the strips to advantageously present a dynamically changing area to the target surface during cleaning, under normal usage conditions. By changing the surface area, more liquids, and associated debris, can be cleaned from the target surface.

A broom and a manufacturing method thereof, the broom comprising at least a broom handle (1) and a broom core; the bottom of the broom handle (1) is provided with a transverse plate (2); the broom core is fixed on the transverse plate (2), and comprises more than one bundle of brushes; the brushes are provided with dispersed slender resilient strips (9) thereon for cleaning the ground; the resilient strips (9) take up more than ½ the length of the brushes; the side surface of the resilient strips (9) is arc-shaped, and tapers from top to bottom; the bottom end of the resilient strips (9) is a thickened layer. The brushes of the broom are made by cutting waste beverage bottles, solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by the waste beverage bottles; the manufacturing method is simple, thus reducing the production cost; the bottom end of the resilient strips (9) is a thickened layer (7), thus significantly improving wear resistance and stability and greatly extending service life compared to a bamboo broom.
