Process for obtaining disposable cleaning cloths and resulting disposable cleaning cloth

A process for obtaining disposable cleaning cloths, starting from woven or knit fabric made of natural or synthetic fibers or mixtures of the two, which upon output from a loom is subjected to conventional continuous or batch finishing processes, wherein said process comprises the steps of:

• providing a fabric piece of said fabric having a width corresponding to that of the cleaning cloth to be obtained,
• making successive transversal cuts continuously in the direction of the weft, spaced according to the length of the cleaning cloth, which cuts prevent subsequent unravelling and help the user to detach each cleaning cloth individually from the rest of the piece with the longitudinal edges of the cleaning cloth which may not be unravelled either, extending in the direction of the warp,
• wherein, when said fabric has a width which is a multiple of said width of the cleaning cloth to be obtained, said step of providing a fabric piece includes the step of making longitudinal cuts continuously in the fabric in the direction of the warp, said longitudinal cuts being spaced according to said width of the cleaning cloth,
• said transversal and longitudinal cuts being made in the fabric in such a way that cut threads of the fabric are bonded together in order to avoid unravelling of the edges of the cleaning cloth,
• bonding of the threads is implemented by printing the transversal and longitudinal cuts, and
• rolling the cleaning cloths resulting from the cuts one on top of the other with a transversal rear-edge zone of one cleaning cloth overlapping the transversal front-edge zone of the following cleaning cloth, to thereby facilitate commercialization thereof.

• providing a fabric piece of said fabric having a width corresponding to that of the cleaning cloth to be obtained,
• making successive transversal cuts intermittently or continuously in the direction of the weft, spaced according to the length of the cleaning cloth, which cuts prevent subsequent unravelling and help the user to detach each cleaning cloth individually from the rest of the piece with the longitudinal edges of the cleaning cloth which may not be unravelled either, extending in the direction of the warp,

• bonding of the threads is implemented by printing the transversal and longitudinal cuts, and
• wherein the continuous longitudinal cuts in the direction of the warp, and the transversal cuts in the direction of the weft, are made in a single cutting operation.
