Benefits of technology

[0023]One non-limiting object of the present invention is to provide an improved wipe that reduces the amount of material used to form the wipe and maintains a perceived bulkiness and feel that is acceptable to a consumer.
[0024]Another and/or alternative non-limiting object of the present invention is to provide an improved wipe that has

Problems solved by technology

Wipes that do not have these two minimum parameters were perceived by consumers as being too thin or flimsy to accomplish the intended cleaning task.
As can be appreciated, wipe having an Initial Caliper (Ci) of greater than 13 mm can be used; however, the cost of creating such a wipe generally will outweigh the perception of a consumer to need or use such a thick w

In a functional application, a wipe can be used to clean an article or a surface, as by wiping the article or surface with the wipe. The wipe of the present invention can include woven and / or non-woven materials. Such woven and / or non-woven materials can be fully or partially made from a plurality of fibers, sponges, films and / or other similar materials onto which one or more cleaning compositions can be loaded as described herein. The wipe of the present invention can be used by itself (e.g., used by hand) and / or attached to a cleaning implement (e.g., floor mop, handle, etc.), or a hand held cleaning tool (e.g., a toilet cleaning device, etc.).

[0048]“Cleaning composition” as used herein, is any fluid and / or solid composition used for cleaning hard and / or soft surface...

Abstract

A wipe formed of a base layer and a secondary layer. The wipe has an initial caliper of at least about 0.5 mm, a basis weight of less than about 55 gsm and a % DIB of about 20-95%. The base layer is formed of a non-biodegradable material such as thermoplastic polymer and the secondary layer is formed of a biodegradable material such as wood pulp, cellulose and/or regenerated cellulose. The top surface of the secondary layer generally includes a non-uniform distribution of fibers.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 12 / 715,160 filed Mar. 1, 2010, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 11 / 361,105 filed Feb. 24, 2006, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,696,109.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to wipes, more particularly to cleaning wipes, and even more particularly to a low-density cleaning wipe that can be formed to give the consumer the appearance that the cleaning wipe has additional perceived bulk and thickness. The present invention also relates to cleaning substrates that can be used as cleaning wipes which can be used to deliver cleaning, disinfecting and / or surface protective compositions to hard and / or soft surfaces. The cleaning substrate may or may not be a pre-loaded cleaning substrate.[0003]A variety of liquid and solid or semi-solid ingredients have been deposited onto various forms of substrates for a variety of purposes. Typically, the...
