Abstract: The present disclosure includes a dusting article comprising a first material comprising a lofty nonwoven web, the first material forming a continuous loop with an interior surface and an exterior surface, and a first end and a second end. An adhesive layer is on at least the exterior surface of the first material. A second material comprising a barrier layer is disposed on the interior surface of the first material. And the first end comprises an opening.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a cleaning apparatus are disclosed. The cleaning apparatus can have a working surface that is configured to interface with a cleaning surface. The cleaning apparatus can include a first material and a second material. The first material can have an open lofty structure with an adhesive on a surface which comprises at least a portion of the working surface of the cleaning apparatus. The first material configured to collect debris. The second material can be coupled to the first material and can have a sorbent structure configured to sorb a liquid from the cleaning surface.

Abstract: Mats comprising a non-woven layer and a first polymeric layer on a major surface thereof. The mats are useful, for example, a mounting mats for pollution control devices, as well as thermal and acoustic insulation for pollution control devices and exhaust systems.

Abstract: A fryer cleaning tool with a sheetlike cleaning head configured to receive a sheetlike resilient fryer cleaning pad with an open-ended slitlike cavity therewithin, which pad can be slidably mounted onto the cleaning head.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved disposable cleaning sheet for removing debris, especially hair from a non-smooth or rough surface, especially fibrous type surfaces such as carpeting or upholstery. The cleaning sheets comprise a fibrous substrate and a plurality of protrusions extending from strand elements embedded within fibrous substrate. The cleaning sheets use the protrusions to dislodge the debris from the surface being cleaned, and the fibrous substrate captures the dislodged debris without a backing for the protrusions interfering with the particle capture of the fibrous substrate. Further, the protrusions are firmly embedded within the fibrous substrate such that they cannot be dislodged from the substrate in use.

Abstract: Nonwoven abrasive articles, particularly lofty nonwoven abrasive articles, with a textured, non-planar surface and an abrasive coating thereon. The coating may cover the entire surface or only portions of the surface. The textured surface, composed of peaks or high regions and valleys or recessed regions, provides improved cut performance over nonwoven abrasive articles having a generally planar abrading surface.

Abstract: A method of selectively applying pressure-sensitive adhesive to a nonwoven web and thereby forming a cleaning sheet having adhesive free peaks and adhesive containing valleys includes coating an adhesive transfer roll with adhesive, transferring a portion of the adhesive to raised regions of a female pattern forming roll, separating the adhesive between the adhesive transfer roll and the female pattern forming roll, and transferring the adhesive from the raised regions of the female pattern forming roll to the web. An apparatus for selectively applying pressure-sensitive adhesive to a nonwoven web and forming a cleaning sheet is also described.
