A fabric cleaning system comprising first and second cleaning heads on opposite sides of a fabric that travels along a machine direction, each of the first and second cleaning heads being mounted on first and second beams that extend along a cross-machine direction, and each of the first and second cleaning heads being traversable along the respective first and second beams.
A method of cleaning fabric comprising providing first and second cleaning heads on opposite sides of a fabric, moving the fabric along a machine direction, and traversing each of the first and second cleaning heads along respective first and second beams during cleaning.
A fabric cleaning system comprising for use in a roll processing system, said fabric cleaning system comprising:
- a first traversing cleaning head that is directed toward a sheet side of a fabric, said first traversing cleaning head being adapted to traverse a cross-machine direction of the fabric;
- and
- a second traversing cleaning head that is directed toward a roll side of the fabric that is opposite the sheet side of the fabric, said second traversing cleaning head also being adapted to traverse the cross-machine direction of the fabric.
