摘要

A cleaning pad (28) is disclosed. The cleaning pad (28) includes a base sheet (202) bonded to a fiber mat (203) and exhibits improved debris retention when an additive that exhibits amphiphillic properties is applied to the pad (28). The additive may be added to the pad (28) during manufacture or selectively applied by a user.
