Flat wiping cloth with cleaning lip

Abstract

A flat wiping cloth (1, 1', 1", 1"') to be arranged on a wiping cloth holder (2), comprising an elongated base (3, 3', 3", 3"'), the base having (3, 3', 3", 3"') a main cleaning surface (4, 4', 4", 4"') and at least one cleaning lip (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) which can be pivoted relative to a base region of the main cleaning surface (4, 4', 4", 4"'), wherein the at least one cleaning lip (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) can be pivoted about at least one desired pivoting region (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d), is, in view of the problem of designing and developing a flat wiping cloth as per the preamble such that said flat wiping cloth can particularly effectively remove dirt from corners and edge regions that adjoin large surfaces to be cleaned, and such that said flat wiping cloth releases as few particles as possible into the room to be cleaned whilst having long service life, characterised in that the base (3, 3', 3", 3"') has a flat textile material which does not have a base fabric with attached threads at any point of the main cleaning surface (4, 4', 4", 4"').

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flat wiper according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Flat wipes are known in the prior art, which are placed on top of so-called flat mops and used to clean surfaces. Flat wipes are especially useful for cleaning floors. [0003] Such smoothing wipes are known, for example, from German patent application DE 10 2011 107 648.8. [0004] However, such flat wipes are not suitable for cleaning areas and corners that adjoin relatively large surfaces (especially floors) that are primarily cleaned. [0005] Such an area might be, for example, a tile baseboard adjoining a tile floor. [0006] Cleaning personnel cannot clean such bases with known flat wipes. [0007] Alternatively, the flat wipe is laid flat on the floor so that only the narrow edge area of ​​the flat wipe is in contact with vertical surfaces and only spot cleaning is possible, such as cleaning only along baseboards along horizontal strip...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] But the latter method has the disadvantage that the flat wipe may also touch the wall area adjacent to the base of the wall and may damage, stain or loosen the wall paint, since the width of the flat wipe (100-150 mm) is usually larger than typical for skirting boards Width (about 20-70mm)

[0014] Furthermore, it has also been shown that the smoothing wipes have only a limited service life, since individual pile threads can fall off very easily during the cleaning process
