Abstract
A disposable floor wipe for use in cleaning and shining linoleum, asphalt tile, vinyl and other similar floor surfaces comprises a carrier substrate which is substantially compressible, having a basis weight of at least 40 g/m.sup.2 and having a relatively high liquid capacity, this substrate impregnated with a floor coating composition at a weight ratio of 3:1 to 6.5:1.
Claims15
A packaged disposable floor wipe adapted to apply a substantially uniform coating of an aqueous coating composition to a floor comprising in combination a flexible non-woven substrate which substrate is substantially compressible having a basis weight within the range of from 40 g/m.sup.2 to 190 g/m.sup.2, has a bonding material penetrated into at least 1 surface of said substrate in a fine pattern to form bonded web portions of greater strength than adjacent portions non containing said bonding material, said pattern comprising less than 35% of the total surface area of the web to give said substrate substantial wet strength, and having a liquid capacity sufficient to absorb from 4 to 10 times the weight of said substrate of water and an aqueous floor coating composition selected from emulsion coatings, alkali-soluble coatings and solution coatings, said coating composition having from 5 to 25% non-volatiles, a pH of from 7.0 to 10.0 and including from 5 to 18% by weight of a film-forming polymeric coating agent said coating composition impregnated in said non-woven substrate at a loading of from 3.0:1 to 6.5:1.
