Cleaning Cloth Comprising Staple Fiber Loops

摘要

The invention relates to a cleaning cloth for smooth surfaces, in particular for producing surface wipes. Said cloth consists of a long-pile velour fabric ( 1 ) with a flat support structure ( 2 ) and a trim of perpendicular, tightly-packed filaments ( 3 ), which are anchored in the flat support structure ( 2 ), protrude at least 5 mm beyond the flat support structure ( 2 ) and have a density of at least ten filaments per cm² of the support structure ( 2 ). According to the invention, the filaments ( 3 ) of the trim consist of staple fibres and are joined at their distal ends to form loops ( 4 ). The filaments ( 3 ) of the trim are merely looped and not cut, so that no shorter filament sections can become detached during the use of the staple fibres, thus preventing the usual pilling of cleaning cloths.
