Abstract: A knit cleaning pad for cleaning a surface, such as a flooring surface, is provided that is formed with a knitted construction having a holding stitch disposed between adjacent stitched layers. The holding stitch enables the pad to maintain its shape without any significant stretching or pulling to the original shape of the pad. The knitted construction also enables the pad to be used in a reversible manner and to be secured directly to the head of a suitable cleaning device without the need for any additional securing mechanisms.
