Abstract: A cleaning article. The cleaning article has tufts of tow fibers. At least some of the tufts are unequally spaced from adjacent tufts, to provide improved collection and retention of debris from a target surface. The tufts may be disposed in rows, which are unequally spaced from adjacent rows. The cleaning article may be made by cutting out spaces between tufts from a precursor sheet and attaching the precursor sheet to a carrier sheet. The cleaning article may be made by cutting a precursor sheet having tufts into discrete portions. The discrete portions are bonded to a carrier sheet.
Abstract: An apparatus includes a closed drying air circuit and a drum in communication with the closed drying air circuit. A condenser is in communication with the closed drying air circuit. The condenser includes a cooled water inlet that directs cooled water into the heated air to remove moisture from the heated air. The condenser includes a condenser water outlet for egress of water from the condenser. The cooled water inlet of the condenser is configured to receive water from a tap water source. A thermoelectric apparatus having a cold side flow device arranged between the cooled water inlet of the condenser and the tap water source is included. The cold side flow device is configured to receive tap water from the tap water source and cool the tap water below a tap outlet temperature using the thermoelectric device before the tap water enters the cooled water inlet of the condenser.
