Abstract: A set for surface treatment purposes, has a textile fabric and a container which holds a liquid, such that a surface can be hydrophilized, wherein the liquid contains at least one hydrophilizing polymer and has a pH value of less than 7. A related composition has: a) 0.05 to 1% by weight of at least one hydrophilizing copolymer with, in the form of polymerized units, at least one amino-functional monomer which has a permanent cationic charge or which is capable of forming a cationic charge through protonation, and at least one acidic monomer which has a permanent anionic charge or which is capable of forming an anionic charge; b) 0.5 to 1.4% by weight of at least one non-ionic surfactant; c) 1 to 10% by weight of at least one solvent; d) with the remainder being water.

Abstract: A method for continuously producing sponge bodies (1) made of regenerated cellulose using at least partially agglomerated pore inducers made of sodium sulphate decahydrate is provided. First, a viscose solution is provided. A pore inducer is added to said viscose solution. The viscose solution is laid onto a conveyer belt which is continuously moving. The viscose solution is led through baths on the conveyor belt, resulting in a porous mass made of regenerated cellulose.

Abstract: A heat-resistant ironing board cover having an elastic padding. The ironing board cover (6) can be joined with form-fit to the ironing board (1) through its padding (5).

Abstract: A sponge of decrystallized cellulose modified by an acetyl group content, where the average degree of substitution is 0.2 to 1.5. No organic or inorganic sulfur compounds are present in the sponge. The sponge is produced by treating pulp with sodium hydroxide solution, then treating it with acetylating substances, drying and dissolving in an organic solvent with the addition of a pore-forming salt, fibers and optionally pigment dyes, pressing the mixture into a perforated mold whose receiving volume corresponds to the dimensions of the sponge to be produced, then placing the mold with its contents in boiling water, and removing the sponge thus formed in the mold.

Abstract: A sponge cloth of decrystallized cellulose modified by the acetyl group content, where the average degree of substitution is 0.2 to 1.5. The cloth does not contain any organic or inorganic sulfur compounds. The sponge cloth is produced by treating wood pulp with sodium hydroxide solution, then treating it with acetylating substances, drying and dissolving in an organic solvent with the addition of a pore-forming salt, fibers and optionally pigment dyes and foaming agents, spreading the mixture on a web and boiling in water with subsequent drying to form a finished cloth.
