Disclosed are cleaning sheets having substantial macroscopic three-dimensionality. Optionally, the macroscopically three-dimensional cleaning sheets can comprise a contractable material (e.g., a scrim material), which when heated and then cooled contracts so as to provide a macroscopic, three-dimensional structure. Macroscopic three-dimensionality is described in terms of “average peak-to-peak distance” and “surface topography index”, as well in terms of “average height differential”. Also disclosed are cleaning implements comprising a handle and the described cleaning sheets. Processes for the sheets, benefits of the processes, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
A macroscopically three-dimensional cleaning sheet having a first outward surface and a second outward surface, wherein at least one of the outward surfaces has a macroscopic three dimensional texture, said macroscopic three dimensional texture being defined by peaks and valleys that said textured outward surface has an Average Peak to Peak Distance of at least about 1 mm, an Average Height Differential of at least about 1 mm and a Surface Topography Index from about 0.01 to about 10 and wherein said cleaning sheet comprises an additive applied at a low effective level to provide improved adhesion of soil to the sheet.
A macroscopically three-dimensional cleaning sheet having a first outward surface and a second outward surface, wherein at least one of the outward surfaces has macroscopic three dimensional texture, said macroscopic three dimensional texture being defined by peaks and valleys such that said textured outward surface has (i) an Average Peak to Peak Distance of from about 1 mm to about 20 mm;
A macroscopically three-dimensional, hydroentangled, nonwoven cleaning sheet for removing dust from a surface, said cleaning sheet comprising at least two fibrous layers;
A macroscopically three-dimensional, hydroentangled, nonwoven cleaning sheet for removing dust from a surface, said cleaning sheet comprising at least two fibrous layers and a scrim material;
A macroscopically three-dimensional cleaning sheet having a first outward surface and a second outward surface, wherein at least one of the outward surfaces has a macroscopic three dimensional pattern, said macroscopic three dimensional pattern being defined by peaks and valleys such that said patterned outward surface has an Average Height Differential of a least about 1 mm.
