Pad Composition And Method

Abstract

A cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly may include multiple portions, such as a handle portion and a cleaning portion. The cleaning assembly may further include a disposable head portion that may be engaged and disengaged from the handle assembly. The head portion may have at least one coating applied to at least a portion of the head portion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cleaning pad assembly comprising:
 a fitment;   a nonwoven pad;   a scrubbiness coating applied to the nonwoven pad.   
     
     
         2 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the nonwoven pad comprises at least a first nonwoven pad and a second nonwoven pad that are fixed together. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the coating is applied to only the first nonwoven pad. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the coating is applied to an exterior surface of the first nonwoven pad. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the fitment is connected to only the second nonwoven pad. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is a polymer. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is a polymer or copolymer emulsion. 
     
     
         8 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is a water insoluble polymer adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is a polymer adhesive with a high glass transition. 
     
     
         10 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is a styrene acrylic copolymer adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is a mixture of a styrene acrylic copolymer adhesive and a dye. 
     
     
         12 . A cleaning pad assembly comprising:
 a fitment;   a nonwoven pad formed of a plurality of fibers, wherein the nonwoven pad is connected to the fitment; and   a scrubbiness coating applied to the nonwoven pad configured to adhere together at least a first fiber pf the plurality of fibers and a second fiber of the plurality of fibers.   
     
     
         13 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the nonwoven pad comprises at least a first nonwoven pad and a second nonwoven pad that are fixed together;
 wherein the coating is applied to only to an exterior surface of the first nonwoven pad;   wherein an interior surface of the first nonwoven pad is fixed to a first side of the second nonwoven pad and a second side of the second nonwoven pad is fixed to the fitment.   
     
     
         14 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the scrubbiness coating is selected from at least one of a polymer, copolymer, a water insoluble polymer adhesive, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a handle; and   a gripping mechanism configured to be moveable within the handle;   wherein the gripping mechanism is configured to selectively hold the fitment relative to the handle.   
     
     
         16 . The cleaning pad assembly of  claim 15 , wherein the fitment connected to the nonwoven pad is configured to be both gripped and un-gripped by the gripping mechanism. 
     
     
         17 . A method of forming a cleaning pad assembly comprising:
 providing a fitment;   providing a nonwoven pad formed of a plurality of fibers; and   applying a scrubbiness coating to the nonwoven pad.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein providing the nonwoven pad comprises providing at least a first nonwoven pad and a second nonwoven pad that are fixed together, wherein an interior surface of the first nonwoven pad is fixed to a first side of the second nonwoven pad and a second side of the second nonwoven pad is fixed to the fitment;
 wherein applying the scrubbiness coating includes applying the scrubbiness coating to only an exterior surface of the first nonwoven pad.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 selecting the scrubbiness coating as at least one a polymer, a copolymer emulsion, a water insoluble polymer adhesive, or combinations thereof.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein applying the scrubbiness coating to the nonwoven pad includes spraying the scrubbiness coating onto a surface of the nonwoven pad.
