Definitions

  • the invention refers to a new application of synthetic fibres, generally called micro-fibres, for manufacturing a cloth to remove either dry or damp dirt.
  • the traditional cloth does not have such necessary requisites and call for the use of detergent substances which often spoil the surfaces to be cleaned.
  • said traditional clothes are to be soaked with water mixed with chemical detergents, the drying out of said surfaces is to be carried out by making use of dry clothes, the cleaning so requiring more time to be done.
  • This mop material contains non woven web of textile fibres of cellulose material, a polymeric aqueous dispersion of a thermo coagulating agents suitable for thermo regulation, and expanding agents instead of polyurethane and polyamide.
  • the invention relates above all to the procedure for preparing the absorbing mop and not to the applications and the mode to use the cloth, i.e. the use without detergent substances that spoil the surfaces to be cleaned, without the use of dry clothes to drying the surfaces with chemical detergents.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a method apt to remove dirt just by means of water and without any chemical detergent, so overcoming all the above said drawbacks.
  • the cloth After removing dirt without chemical detergents, the cloth may be rinsed, so to be once more well cleaned and ready for use.
  • the cloth, in use is apt to remove dry dirt by rubbing the surfaces which maybe used without scratching the surface, and which is also apt to remove damp dirt by means of an absorbing action obtained by simply making use of water.
  • the invention solves the problem of providing a method of using cloth which perfectly stands abrasion and tearing, and which has physical and chemical properties which do not get altered when the cloth is exposed to temperatures from -30'C up to + 130°C.
  • the cloth used in the method according to the invention is made of synthetic fibres, i.e. micro-fibres preferably deriving from polyamide and polyurethane, which form velvet elements acting like micro-spoons and apt to gather and remove dry dirt without scratching the surfaces.
  • synthetic fibres i.e. micro-fibres preferably deriving from polyamide and polyurethane, which form velvet elements acting like micro-spoons and apt to gather and remove dry dirt without scratching the surfaces.
  • Another very important feature of the cloth used in the method according to the invention is due to the fact that, together with water, it first keeps damp dirt and then, after absorbing it, releases said dirt (water-repellent action) as soon as said cloth is washed by means of clean water.
  • the cloth, soaked with water works like a soap, i.e. it reduces the surface tension of the water which touches dirt, so as to facilitate the absorption of said dirt.
  • said Method for removing either dry or damp dirt from a surface being glasses, or metallic, wooden, plastic-coated and other similar surfaces, being characterised by the fact that a cloth made of micro-fibres, of polyamide and/or polyurethane and/or polyester is used, and that, prior to its use and once for all, the cloth is dipped in water brought to the boil for about 10 minutes.
  • the cloth is made of 50% of micro-fibres of polyamide and 50% of polyurethane micro-fibres.
  • the cloth is made of 50% of micro-fibers of polyamide and 50% of microfibers of polyester.
  • compositions may however vary of 20% of the above indicated ones.
