Abstract:
1. A cleaning article for optional removable attachment to a handle and having a longitudinal axis defining a longitudinal length and a transverse axis orthogonal thereto, said cleaning article comprising: at least one layer of tow fibers, said tow fibers extending transversely outward from proximal ends juxtaposed with said longitudinal axis to distal ends transversely remote therefrom, said layer further having first and second opposed faces and defining a tow fiber width from said spine to said distal ends of said fibers; and a generally planar sheet disposed on said first face of said at least one layer of tow fibers, said sheet having a sheet width, said sheet width being predominantly less than said tow fiber width, so that said distal ends of said tow fibers differentially overhang the edges of said sheet along a predominant portion of said longitudinal length and wherein said differential overhang of said tow fibers monotonically increases or decreases in the longitudinal direction as said transverse axis is approached, and said cleaning article optionally comprising transversely extending gather strips.
