Abstract
A cleaning pad is disclosed. The cleaning pad may include a body having a top layer for securing to a mop head and a bottom layer for making contact with a floor surface. The bottom layer may be generally rectangular in shape and include a strip of relatively lower absorbency material and a strip of relatively higher absorbency material. The strip of relatively lower absorbency material may extend longitudinally from the first to the second lateral edges of the bottom layer and the strip of relatively higher absorbency material may also extend longitudinally from the first to the second lateral edges. The strip of relatively lower absorbency material and the strip of relatively higher absorbency material may be of substantially equal height and form a substantially coplanar floor engaging surface.

A cleaning pad comprising:
- a generally rectangular body comprising:
- a top material layer for securing to a cleaning pad displacement apparatus;
- and
- a bottom material layer for making contact with a floor surface;
- wherein the top material layer and bottom material layer are secured to each other;
- wherein the bottom material layer is generally rectangular in shape and includes first and second longitudinal edges and first and second lateral edges;
- wherein the bottom material layer further includes a first strip of relatively lower absorbency material and a strip of relatively higher absorbency material;
- wherein the first strip of relatively lower absorbency material extends longitudinally from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge;
- wherein the strip of relatively higher absorbency material extends longitudinally from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge;
- and
- wherein the first strip of relatively lower absorbency material and the strip of relatively higher absorbency material are substantially equal height and form a substantially coplanar floor engaging surface.
A cleaning pad comprising:
- a generally rectangular body comprising:
- a top material layer for securing to a cleaning pad displacement apparatus;
- and
- a bottom material layer for making contact with a floor surface;
- wherein the top material layer and bottom material layer are secured to each other;

A method of manufacturing a cleaning pad comprising the steps of:
- providing a generally rectangular body comprising:
- a top material layer for securing to a cleaning pad displacement apparatus;
- and
- a bottom material layer for making contact with a floor surface;
- wherein the top material layer and bottom material layer are secured to each other;
- wherein the bottom material layer is generally rectangular in shape and includes first and second longitudinal edges and first and second lateral edges;
- wherein the bottom material layer further includes a first strip of relatively lower absorbency material and a strip of relatively higher absorbency material;
- wherein the first strip of relatively lower absorbency material extends longitudinally from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge;
- wherein the strip of relatively higher absorbency material extends longitudinally from the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge;
- and
- wherein the first strip of relatively lower absorbency material and the strip of relatively higher absorbency material are substantially equal height and form a substantially coplanar floor engaging surface.
