  • Publication number: 20140373296
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flat wiping cloth (3) to be arranged on a wiping cloth holder (1), comprising an elongate basic body (4), wherein an active substance that inhibits or suppresses the growth of bacteria and/or viruses is associated with the basic body (4), wherein fibres (5), yarns (6) or fringes (7) are associated with the basic body (4) and wherein the active substance is distributed within the material from which the fibres (5), yarns (6) or fringes (7) are produced and/or in a component of the basic body (4). The aim of the invention is to configure and modify a flat wiping cloth of the aforementioned type in such a way that the antimicrobially effective active substance remains in the flat wiping cloth as long as possible, wherein the flat wiping cloth picks up dirt particularly quickly from moist surfaces. To achieve said aim, the invention is characterised in that the fibres (5), yarns (6) or fringes (7) have a free end that can be turned towards the area to be cleaned.
