Abstract
A pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may include a microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth may include a low weight substrate having a first face and an opposed second face, and microfiber yarn attached to the low weight substrate in a plurality of parallel rows of stitches. The pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe further includes a disinfecting formulation saturated in the microfiber cloth. The pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may have a single-touch two-minute wetness coverage of more than 100 in2. A method of manufacturing a pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe may include saturating, with a disinfecting formulation, a microfiber cloth.
Claims28
A pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe, comprising:
- a microfiber cloth comprising:
- a substrate having a first face and an opposed second face;
- and
- microfiber yarn attached to the substrate in a plurality of parallel rows and stitches;
- and
- a liquid disinfecting formulation saturated in the microfiber cloth,
- wherein the microfiber yarn comprises between 100 and 300 filaments, and has a denier of between 50 and 150;
- and
- wherein the pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe has a single-touch two-minute wetness coverage of more than 100 in2;
- and
- wherein the pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe has an abrasion resistance of more than 10 cycles.
A method of manufacturing a pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe, comprising:
- providing a substrate having a first face and an opposed second face;
- attaching a microfiber yarn to the substrate in a plurality of parallel rows of stitches;
- and
- saturating the microfiber cloth with a liquid disinfecting formulation,
- wherein the pre-saturated disposable disinfecting wipe has a single-touch two-minute wetness coverage of more than 100 in2;
