  • Patent number: 7015156
    Abstract: The a present invention is related to an abrasive cleaning article, made of spread abrasive particles and microencapsulated particles of an aromatizing substance contained in urea-formaldehyde walls, through a three-dimensional non-woven web of fiber that are bonded to the web by a resin adhesive. The item, of any geometric shape, offers the user a sensation of cleanliness due to the constant presence of a “fresh” scent associated to the fiber; the scent remains during the whole life of the abrasive item since the microcapsules break partially during the normal use of the item. The invention also refers to the production process of such abrasive item.
