Electrofluidic textiles and cleaning implements using such electrofluidic textiles

An electrofluidic textile for manipulating a fluid, said electrofluidic textile comprising:

• a reservoir including an electrically conductive material, at least one void within said electrically conductive material, and a coating of an insulator lining said at least one void;
• and
• a voltage source electrically coupled with said electrically conductive material of said reservoir, said voltage source operable to bias said electrically conductive material for modifying a fluid capacity of said at least one void.

A method of manipulating a fluid with a porous web of electrofluidic fibers, the method comprising:

• applying a first bias voltage to a conductive core of each of the electrofluidic fibers in the porous web effective to remove a fluid from a surface.

A method of filtering a fluid with a porous material, the method comprising:

• directing a flow of the fluid containing a substance through the porous material;
• and
• applying a first bias voltage to the porous material effective to remove the substance from the fluid.
