Abstract
Wipes capable of picking up hair and other large particles, and methods of making same, are provided. A wipe includes a layer of netting material bonded to a substrate, and subsequently stretched via ring rolls such that strands of the netting material break and extend outwardly from the substrate to form teeth. The wipe may be impregnated with one or more chemical ingredients, such as cleaning solutions, soaps, antiseptics, surfactants, tackifying agents, antimicrobial agents, detergents, bleaches, polishes, and facial cleansers. The wipe may be electrostatically charged.

A wipe comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a layer of netting material bonded to the substrate, wherein the netting material comprises at least two sets of strands, wherein each set of strands crosses and interconnects another set of strands at a substantially fixed angle, wherein strands in each set extend along a respective direction and are in substantially co-planar, spaced-apart relationship, and wherein the netting material has been stretched such that some of the strands in the at least two sets of strands are broken and the portions of said strands that are broken comprise raised pieces/parts that extend outwardly from the substrate.
A mop comprising:
- an elongate handle;
- and
- a mop head attached to the handle that includes a pad, wherein the pad comprises:
- a substrate;
- and
- a layer of netting material bonded to the substrate, wherein the netting material comprises at least two sets of strands, wherein each set of strands crosses and interconnects another set of strands at a substantially fixed angle, wherein strands in each set extend along a respective direction and are in substantially co-planar, spaced-apart relationship, and wherein the netting material has been stretched such that some of the strands in the at least two sets of strands are broken and the portions of said strands that are broken comprise raised pieces/parts that extend outwardly from the substrate.
A cloth comprising:
- a panel comprising a surface;
- a substrate attached to the panel surface;
- and
- a layer of netting material bonded to the substrate, wherein the netting material comprises at least two sets of strands, wherein each set of strands crosses and interconnects another set of strands at a substantially fixed angle, wherein strands in each set extend along a respective direction and are in substantially co-planar, spaced-apart relationship, and wherein the netting material has been stretched such that some of the strands in the at least two sets of strands are broken and the portions of said strands that are broken comprise raised pieces/parts that extend outwardly from the substrate.
A scrub brush comprising:
- a body comprising a surface;
- a substrate attached to the body surface;
- and
- a layer of netting material bonded to the substrate, wherein the netting material comprises at least two sets of strands, wherein each set of strands crosses and interconnects another set of strands at a substantially fixed angle, wherein strands in each set extend along a respective direction and are in substantially co-planar, spaced-apart relationship, and wherein the netting material has been stretched such that some of the strands in the at least two sets of strands are broken and the portions of said strands that are broken comprise raised pieces/parts that extend outwardly from the substrate.
