Abstract: A cleaning article includes: a first panel having: a first fiber layer; and a first substrate attached to the first fiber layer by a first connection type; and a second panel having: a second fiber layer; and a second substrate attached to the second fiber layer by the first connection type. The first connection type includes a first connection line in parallel with a second connection line, the first and second connection lines together straddling a center line of a respective panel that extends in an axial direction. The first panel is attached to the second panel by a plurality of spot connections so as to create a pocket between the first panel and the second panel.

Abstract: A dusting tool having a flexible skeletal element including a base, from which four elongated arms extend. The elongated arms have a base end and a distal end. The base ends extend from the base and being spaced apart from one another at the base. The arms being flexible and resilient. A plurality of cross-members extend between the elongated arms, a plurality of living hinges being disposed between the plurality of cross-members and the elongated arms. A force applied to at least one of the elongated arms is transmitted to the other of the elongated arm by the plurality of cross-members and the plurality of living hinges.

Abstract: A beveled broom and step-on dustpan cleaning system including a step-on dustpan having a step-on portion configured to allow a user to collect debris in a receptacle of the dustpan when a force is applied on the step-on portion. The dustpan includes a lip portion which is configured to seal against a floor surface upon a user stepping on the step-on portion to collect debris. A beveled broom having a broom head configured with a beveled or chamfered shape at a functional angle to provide an effective and efficient contact surface to a floor surface to collect debris during use.
