A wiping sheet includes a patterned part of a fiber assembling base material and a non-patterned part of the fiber assembling base material. The patterned part includes cellulose nanofiber; and the non-patterned part does not include the cellulose nanofiber.

The present inventions relates to a low solvent based method for the production of a microporous polymer coated fibrous fabric, comprising the steps of contacting the fabric with a composition dispersed in an aqueous medium thereby coating the fabric with the composition, and contacting the coated with a coagulation solution and drying of the fabric, crosslinking the polymer resin. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cleaning cloth comprising a microporous polymer coating obtained by the method.

A wipe containing a fibrous web on which is coated an antimicrobial composition is provided. The composition includes a botanical oil derived from a plant (e.g., thymol, carvacrol, etc.). Because the oil is volatile and tends to evaporate and lose efficacy prior to use, a protein is also employed to enhance the composition's long term stability and antimicrobial efficacy. The protein tends to form a substantially continuous film when coated onto the fibrous web. Because such proteins are typically stiff and brittle, a continuous film would restrict the ability of the fibers to move and bend, reducing web flexibility and drape. Thus, it is typically desired that the antimicrobial composition form a discontinuous coating on the web. In this regard, the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that the addition of an organopolysiloxane can help achieve a discontinuous coating without adversely impacting the ability of the protein to stabilize the oil.

A fur sweeper tool includes a base holder; a handle-engaging post extending from the base holder; a roller rotatably held by the base holder having fur attracting material; and a handle pivotably connected to the post. The handle may have an adjustable length.

A wiping product is disclosed that is well suited for wiping up oils and greases. More particularly, the wiping product has been engineered to wipe up and absorb oils within the interior of the product. The wiper is made from a laminate containing outer layers designed to wick away and/or adsorb oily substances from a surface. The wiper also includes an elastic middle layer that is oil absorbable. In one embodiment, the outer layers are stretch bonded to the elastic middle layer so that the outer layers gather and create void spaces within the product.

A composition for absorbing liquids such as water and oil can include a thermoplastic elastomeric copolymer, a superabsorbent material, and a solvent. The composition can be applied as a coating to a non-woven substrate. A method of removing water or oil from a surface employing the composition is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a cleaning article (100) having an absorbent base material formed by a flat material (101), with a first (102) and a second side surface, wherein a coating (112) is provided on at least the first side surface (102) and confers to said first side surface (102) of the cleaning article (100) a higher frictional force than that of an uncoated first side surface (102), wherein the coating (112) comprises a plurality of coating lines (114) and, when an imaginary grid network (200) consisting of lines extending parallel, equidistantly and vertically to one another and with an edge length of 7 mm for each grid quadrant (206) is laid over the first side surface (102) of the cleaning article (100), said first side surface (102) has a first degree of coating coverage of at least 15% in the region of at least 5 grid quadrants (208) per 25 cm.sup.2, and a second degree of coating coverage of no more than 8% in the region of at least 5 grid quadrants (210) per 25 cm.sup.2.

An adhesive wiping cloth is provided. The adhesive wiping cloth mainly includes a cloth layer and an oily vinyl acetate copolymer resin-based adhesive layer. The oily vinyl acetate copolymer resin-based adhesive layer is an adhesive layer formed on a surface of the cloth layer, and oily vinyl acetate copolymer resin is infiltrated into fibers of the cloth layer. Dirt such as dust and particles attached on a surface of an object can be removed easily by the oily vinyl acetate copolymer resin-based adhesive layer with adhesiveness without causing scratches or damage to the surface of the object.
