Abstract: A method of making a substantially flexible dry matrix capable of removing dust, organic film or both, to which no water has been added other than that naturally present therein, said matrix possessing anti-static properties and being capable of removing dust and retaining said dust on the surface threreof comprising uniformly contacting said which comprises passing a continuous line of a matrix material comprising (a) natural or synthetic woven, non-woven or knitted fibers, or (b) flexible foam material or combinations thereof with between an engraved roll and a smooth roll, said engraved roll containing a non aqueous treatment solution on the surface thereof; coating said matrix material with an effective amount of a non-aqueous treatment solution sufficient to allow said matrix to retain its substantially flexible dry characteristics and to remove said dust and organic film; said non-aqueous treatment solution comprising by weight between about 25% and 75% of at least one glycol compound and between about

Abstract: A method for making a substantially flexible dry matrix and the result and article capable of cleaning a surface by removing dust and/or organic film and rendering the surface substantially static-free, suitable for use as a garment, air filter or mat, comprising a matrix comprising natural or synthetic, woven, non-woven or knitted fibers, or a flexible foam material, said matrix having been uniformly coated with an amount of treatment solution sufficient to allow said matrix to retain its substantially dry characteristics, said solution comprising between about 25% and 75% of at least one glycol compound, between about 0.2% and 60% of a cationic surfactant, an antimicrobial compound and optionally up to about 45% of a nonionic surfactant may be added to the treatment solution. When removing organic film, the wipe is contacted with water and used to wash the surface, and can then be rung out and used to wipe the surface dry.

Abstract: A substantially flexible dry wipe capable of cleaning a surface by removing dust and/or organic film and rendering the surface substantially static-free comprising a matrix comprising natural or synthetic, woven, non-woven or knitted fibers, or a flexible foam material, said matrix having been uniformly coated with an amount of treatment solution sufficient to allow said matrix to retain its substantially dry characteristics, said solution comprising between about 25% and 75% of at least one glycol compound, between about 0.2% and 60% of a cationic surfactant, and optionally up to about 45% of a nonionic surfactant may be added to the treatment solution. When removing organic film, the wipe is contacted with water and used to wash the surface, and can then be wrung out and used to wipe the surface dry.
