Cleaning Cloth Comprising Staple Fiber Loops

Abstract

The invention relates to a cleaning cloth for smooth surfaces, in particular for producing surface wipes. Said cloth consists of a long-pile velour fabric ( 1 ) with a flat support structure ( 2 ) and a trim of perpendicular, tightly-packed filaments ( 3 ), which are anchored in the flat support structure ( 2 ), protrude at least 5 mm beyond the flat support structure ( 2 ) and have a density of at least ten filaments per cm 2 of the support structure ( 2 ). According to the invention, the filaments ( 3 ) of the trim consist of staple fibres and are joined at their distal ends to form loops ( 4 ). The filaments ( 3 ) of the trim are merely looped and not cut, so that no shorter filament sections can become detached during the use of the staple fibres, thus preventing the usual pilling of cleaning cloths.

1 . Cleaning textile for smooth surfaces, particularly for the production of surface wipers, consisting of a high-pile plush fabric ( 1 ), which has a planar carrier structure ( 2 ) and a lining of threads ( 3 ) that run perpendicular to the former, disposed closely next to one another, which are anchored in the planar carrier structure ( 2 ), project at least 5 mm above the planar carrier structure ( 2 ), and have a density of at least ten threads per cm 2  of the carrier structure ( 2 ), 
 wherein the threads ( 3 ) of the lining consist of staple fibers and are connected into loops ( 4 ) at their distal ends.    
   
   
       2 . Cleaning textile according to  claim 1 , wherein the threads ( 3 ) consist at least partially of cotton.  
   
   
       3 . Cleaning textile according to  claim 1 , wherein the threads ( 3 ) consist at least partially of viscose.  
   
   
       4 . Cleaning textile according to  claim 1 , wherein the threads ( 3 ) consist at least partially of lyocell.
