Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cleaning article. The cleaning article includes a compressed composition having an exterior surface, where the compressed composition includes a gas generator, an acid, a surfactant, and a binder. The cleaning article further includes a solid coating disposed on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the compressed composition, where the solid coating includes a polyethylene oxide carrier and at least one functional ingredient. The cleaning article may be made by obtaining a molten mixture of a polyethylene oxide carrier and at least one functional ingredient; applying the molten mixture to at least a portion of an exterior surface of a compressed composition; and cooling the applied molten mixture to form a solid coating. Kits are also provided, including a cleaning article and a tool configured to attach to the cleaning article.

Abstract: Provided are cleaning articles that include a porous sleeve comprised of opposing first and second sleeve layers coupled to each other along their peripheral edges and an opening in the porous sleeve that extends across the first sleeve layer. A plurality of soap pellets can be received in the porous sleeve, wherein the opening provides an interference fit to secure the soap member and/or soap pellets within the porous sleeve. The soap pellets can be provided by fragmenting a soap member along lines of weakness, wherein the fragmentation can take place before or after the soap member is received in the porous sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention is a structured abrasive article including a substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, and a plurality of shaped abrasive composites. Each of the shaped abrasive composites includes a bottom surface in contact with the first major surface of the substrate. Each of the bottom surfaces takes the shape of a concave polygon and each of the concave polygons has a convex hull having n sides.

Abstract: The present invention is an abrasive composite including a first crosslinkable binder component, wherein when polymerized, has a glass transition temperature (Tg) below room temperature and a modulus of less than about 150 MPa: a second crosslinkable binder component having a Tg above room temperature; a material capable of initiating addition polymerization; and particulate grains having a Mohs hardness value of less than or equal to about 3.

Abstract: The present invention is a cleaning article including a substrate and organic abrasive particles dispersed on the substrate. The organic abrasive particles have a Mohs hardness of between about 2.0 and about 5.0. The cleaning article cleans greater than about 0.9 panels in 1,000 cycles and has a Schieffer Scratch performance rating of less than or equal to about 3.5.

Abstract: The present invention is an abrasive agglomerate. The abrasive agglomerate includes between about 8 and about 50 wt % cerium oxide, between about 5 and about 75 wt % filler, and a curable, polymeric binder resin.
