Abstract
A surface cleaning material is provided that includes a base structure including at least one base material. The surface cleaning material also includes a plurality of fibers woven into the base structure such that a first end, a second end, and a middle portion of each of the plurality of fibers form a W-shape with the first and second ends of each of the plurality of first fibers being positioned a distance from a surface of the base structure. A method of manufacturing the surface cleaning material is also provided.
Claims20
A surface cleaning material, comprising:
- a base structure comprising at least one base material;
- and
- a plurality of fibers woven into the base structure such that a first end, a second end, and a middle portion of each of the plurality of first fibers form a W-shape with the first and second ends of each of the plurality of first fibers being positioned a distance from a surface of the base structure.
A method of manufacturing a surface cleaning material comprising:
- weaving, from at least one base material, a first base structure and a second base structure, with a first front face of the first base structure facing a second front face of the second base structure, wherein a gap is provided between the first front face and the second front face;
- weaving a plurality of fibers into the first base structure and the second base structure such that the plurality of fibers extend across the gap between the first and second base structure;
- and
- cutting the plurality of fibers along the gap, wherein the first base structure defines a first surface cleaning material and the second base structure defines a second surface cleaning material, further wherein cut ends of the plurality of fibers extend a distance from the first front face and the second front face, respectively.
