Cleaning cloth and a mop using the same

Abstract

The invention provides a cleaning cloth for cleaning dirty surfaces wherein the cloth has two major surfaces of different roughnesses, on opposite sides thereof, characterized in that the cloth is formed by a continuous weaving or knitting process utilizing at least two different filaments wherein an non-scratch abrasive monofilament is knitted into at least one of the surfaces.

1 . 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 weaving Of knitting process utilizing at least two different filaments wherein an non-scratch abrasive monofilament is knitted into at least one of said surfaces. 
   
   
       2 . A cleaning cloth according to  claim 1 , wherein said filaments are polymeric filaments. 
   
   
       3 . A cleaning cloth according to  claim 1  wherein said non-scratch abrasive monofilament is a polyamide. 
   
   
       4 . A cleaning cloth according to  claim 1  wherein said non-scratch abrasive monofilament is selected from the group consisting of polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyamide.
