Abstract: A maintenance item for cleaning a floor includes a front portion and a rear portion in line with each other and having respective top and bottom faces. The bottom faces define a “cleaning” surface, the front portion includes, projecting from its bottom face, microfibers and scraping fibers of linear density greater than 1 dtex, and the rear portion includes, projecting from its bottom face, microfibers, and possibly also scraping fibers of linear density greater than 1 dtex. The mean linear density T1 (dtex) of the microfibers and of the scraping fibers on the bottom face of the front portion may be greater than or equal to 0.5 dtex, and the mean linear density T2 (dtex) of the microfibers, and optionally of the scraping fibers, on the bottom face of the rear portion may be less than or equal to 2 dtex. In addition, T1 may be different from T2.
