Cleaning Cloth Label Patch for Dual Wiping and Scrubbing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cleaning cloths with dual functions often have surfaces that interfere with each other, limiting their effectiveness and size, and require additional tools for enhanced cleaning functionalities.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning device featuring a washable cloth with a rotatably attached care label that includes a patch providing additional scrubbing functionality, allowing for dual use without space constraints or interference, and the patch can be fixedly or removably attached.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a cloth is provided with dual cleaning surfaces (one for dust removal, another for scrubbing), then additional cleaning functionality is achieved, but the surfaces interfere with each other during use and the effective cleaning area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning device is segmented into two independent parts: the main cloth body and the detachable care label patch. The patch can be removed from the cloth, allowing each component to be used independently without interference. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling multiple cleaning functions while maintaining full effective area of both components.
Solution Approach 2:
The care label patch is designed to be dynamically attachable and detachable from the cloth body using Velcro fastening. This dynamic configuration allows the user to attach the patch when scrubbing function is needed and detach it when only the cloth's wiping function is required, eliminating interference between surfaces while preserving both cleaning functions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional cleaning functions are provided by adding more cloths or enlarging the cloth, then cleaning versatility is improved, but device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges two cleaning functions into a single integrated device: the main cloth body and the attached care label patch. The patch provides scrubbing functionality while the cloth provides wiping functionality, combining multiple cleaning tools into one unit without increasing overall device complexity or space requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The care label patch serves dual purposes: it provides additional scrubbing cleaning function when attached to the cloth, and can be used independently as a separate cleaning tool when detached. This multi-functionality approach increases cleaning versatility without requiring additional separate tools.
3Loss of information
If the care label is made larger to include more information and logotype, then information completeness is improved, but the available area for cleaning functionality is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The care label patch is designed with local quality differentiation: one side contains the care information and logotype for identification and instruction purposes, while the other side provides the actual cleaning surface with different material properties for scrubbing. This allows the label to fulfill both information carrier and cleaning tool functions without compromising either aspect.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a cleaning device (10) comprising at least one cleaning cloth (12) of one type of material providing a wiping function and a care label (14) attached to an edge of the cleaning cloth. The label comprises a patch (16) of a material of a type that has a different internal configuration than the material of the cleaning cloth (12) and that provides a scrubbing function. The invention provides additional cleaning functionality without using additional space by using a part of a cloth (12) that is already there, namely the label (14). The additional cleaning ability does also not limit the functionality or size of the cloth (12).
