摘要:
A cleaning implement for removing debris from a surface comprises a handle, a mop head, and a joint connecting the handle and mop head; wherein the joint is adjustable and lockable. The joint allows the angle between the mop head and the handle to be adjusted appropriately and then locked into place. Another embodiment of the present cleaning implement comprises a handle and a mop head, wherein the mop heads comprises one or more gliders to facilitate the ability of the cleaning implement to glide smoothly across the surface being cleaned. Methods of removing debris comprise the step of contacting the surface with a cleaning implement of the present invention.

Disposable cleaning sheets for removing debris from a surface comprise a substrate and a plurality of protrusions affixed to the substrate. The cleaning sheets of the present invention have one or more of the following characteristics: (a) “Protrusion Flexibility” of at least about 0.5 grams, preferably from about 1 to about 200 grams, and more preferably from about 5 to about 70 grams; (b) “Glide Resistance” of less than about 1200 grams, preferably from about 25 to about 950 grams, and more preferably from about 200 to about 750 grams; (c) “Hair Capture Efficiency” of at least about 10%, preferably at least about 30%, and more preferably at least about 60%; and/or (d) “Sheet Capacity” of from about 0.2 to about 20 grams, preferably from about 0.5 to about 10 grams, and more preferably from about 0.75 to about 5 grams. When the present cleaning sheet is attached to a cleaning implement, the Attachment Force between the cleaning sheet and the cleaning implement will typically be at least about 600 grams, preferably at least about 1000 grams, and more preferably at least about 1400 grams. Methods of removing debris from a surface comprise contacting the surface with a cleaning sheet of the present invention.
摘要:
Cleaning sheets comprise an additive that is selected to enhance the pick up and retention of particulate material from surfaces, while minimizing the amount of residue left on the surface being cleaned. If the type of additive and level of additive on the cleaning sheet are not carefully selected, the sheet will leave a residue on the surface being cleaned resulting in filming and streaking of the surface that is unacceptable to consumers. The additive is preferably selected from the group consisting of a wax, an oil, and mixtures thereof. Cleaning implements comprise a mop head having a resilient bottom surface, a portion of which preferably has a substantially smooth curved profile or crown which engages a removable cleaning sheet.

摘要:
Disposable cleaning sheets for removing debris from a surface comprise a substrate and a plurality of protrusions affixed to the substrate, wherein the cleaning sheet is removably attachable to a cleaning implement. The protrusions are preferably hook-shaped. The preferred hook-shaped protrusions can be made of certain thermoplastic resins and can have certain geometric configurations. The protrusions can be affixed to the substrate via a variety of process and are preferably affixed to the substrate in one or more zones of the substrate. Methods of removing debris from a surface comprise contacting the surface with a cleaning sheet of the present invention.
摘要:
A personal care composition comprising a hydrophilic liquid, a structurant for said hydrophilic liquid, a surface active, a lipid, and an aqueous phase; wherein said lipid, said hydrophilic liquid, said structurant, and said surface active form a lipid phase; wherein said hydrophilic liquid, said structurant, and said surface active are connected to said lipid in said lipid phase. These compositions provide improved skin and/or hair moisturization, appearance, aesthetics and skin and/or hair conditioning during and/or after application, and are useful in providing improved deposition to the desired area of the skin and/or hair. The present invention is further directed to a method of using the personal care composition.
摘要:
A personal care composition that comprises a sunless tanning active, a surface active, a lipid, and an aqueous phase; wherein the lipid, the sunless tanning active, and the surface active form a lipid phase; wherein the sunless tanning active and the surface active are on the surface of the lipid, within the domain of the lipid, or both on the surface and within the domain of the lipid in the lipid phase. These compositions deposit sunless tanning actives on keratinous surfaces as well as provide improved skin moisturization, appearance, aesthetics and skin feel during and/or after application. The present invention is further directed to a method of using the personal care composition.
