PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cloth or Material to be used as a Cleaning and
Polishing Cloth.
I, FRANK DANIEL HADDON, of 150, Gorton Road, Reddish, in the County of
Lancaster, Calico Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
-
My invention relates to an improved cloth or material to be used as a clean-
ing and polishing cloth and the chief object of my improvements is to produce
a cloth possessing a certain oily nature which will prevent articles of meta!
cleaned with the cloth from readily turning rusty, the cloth is particularly suit-
able for cleaning furniture, military accoutrements, leather goods and other
articles,
In carrying out my invention I employ any suitable textile fabric, wash leather
or other suitable material and I impregnate such fabric or material with the
article of commerce now known as minerolin" composed I believe chiefly of
the residuum produced in refining petroleum and other mineral oils. The fabric
or other material can be impregnated with minerolin either in a heated or cool
state in any convenient manner, and after this has been done it is preferably if
not necessary to fix the minerolin upon the fabric by steaming the fabric or boil-
ing it in any suitable liquid and then drying it.
I find that fabrics and materials treated in this manner can be used for clean-
ing and polishing purposes for a long time and washed frequently and thoroughly
without destroying the oily nature of the minerolin.
If found desirable warp and weft yarn or either of them might be treated with
minerolin in any suitable manner from which the improved cleaning cloth could
be_subsequently woven.
Instead of minerolin I might employ any suitable chemical equivalent to im-
pregnate the fabric or material and which will not lose its oily nature when
the fabric or material is washed.

In carrying out my invention I employ any suitable textile fabric, wash leather
or other suitable material and I impregnate such fabric or material with the
article of commerce now known as minerolin composed I believe chiefly of
the residuum produced in refining petroleum and other mineral oils. The fabric
or other material can be impregnated with minerolin either in a heated or cool
state in any convenient manner, and after this has been done the minerolin is
fixed upon the fabric by steaming the fabric or boiling it in water or other suit-
able liquid and then drying it, or by the application of dry heat alone in the
first instance.
I find that fabrics and materials treated in this manner can be used for clean-
ing and polishing purposes for a long time and washed frequently and thoroughly
without destroying the oily nature of the minerolin.
If found desirable warp and weft yarn or either of them might be treated with

Instead of minerolin I might employ any suitable chemical equivalent to im-
pregnate the fabric or material and which will not lose its oily nature when
the fabric or material is washed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
The improved cleaning and polishing cloth consisting of a textile fabric or
other suitable material impregnated with minerolin or its chemical equivalent
fixed thereon substantially as herein set forth.
