Claims20
A cleaning pad comprising:
- at least two parallel strips of absorbent material including at least one strip of relatively lower absorbency material and at least one strip of relatively higher absorbency material, which has at least about 1.36 times higher absorbency than said at least one strip of relatively lower absorbency material;
- wherein all of said strips of said relatively lower absorbency material and said relatively higher absorbency material are substantially equal height and form a substantially coplanar floor engaging surface, wherein said floor engaging surface has a total surface area formed by said strips of relatively lower absorbency material and relatively higher absorbency material that comprises at least about 40% from said relatively lower absorbency material and at least about 40% from said relatively higher absorbency material.
A floor mop comprising a mop head, said mop head having attached thereto a cleaning pad comprising:
- at least two parallel strips of absorbent material including at least one strip of relatively lower absorbency material and at least one strip of relatively higher absorbency material, which has at least about 1.36 times higher absorbency than said relatively lower absorbency material;
- wherein all of said strips of said relatively lower absorbency material and said relatively higher absorbency material are substantially equal height and form a substantially coplanar floor engaging surface, wherein said floor engaging surface has a total surface area formed by said strips of said relatively lower absorbency material and said relatively higher absorbency material that comprises at least about 40% from said relatively lower absorbency material and at least about 40% from said relatively higher absorbency material.
A method of making a cleaning pad comprising:
- attaching to a sheet of backing material a strip of relatively lower absorbency material;
- and
- attaching to said sheet of backing material at least one strip of relatively higher absorbency material, which has at least about 1.36 times higher absorbency than said strip of relatively lower absorbency material;
- wherein all of said strips of said relatively lower absorbency material and said relatively higher absorbency material are substantially equal height and form a substantially coplanar floor engaging surface;
- wherein said floor engaging surface has a total surface area formed by said strips of relatively lower absorbency material and relatively higher absorbency material that comprises at least about 40% from said relatively lower absorbency material and at least about 40% from said relatively higher absorbency material.
