A cleaning pad (100; 200; 300; 400) for treating especially smooth surfaces comprises an elastically deformable core (1) and a cleaning cover (2; 2') which surrounds the core (1) and which consists of two material cutouts (6; 6') that hold the core (1) therebetween and are joined to one another using at least one adhesive seam and/or weld seam (4) in a peripheral region (3) surrounding the core (1). Said cleaning pad (100; 200; 300; 400) is formed in such a way that at least the outer edge region (3) of at least one of the material cutouts (6, 6') is coated with an adhesive material (9) on the surface (8) facing the core (1), said adhesive material (9) being activated during the production process.
