A mitt worn on a hand for cleaning. The mitt includes a section for the palm of the hand, a section for the fingers, and a compartment on either side of a central axis of the mitt for a thumb. The mitt is capable of being used on either the right or the left hand, and both sides of the mitt may be used without moving the mitt from one hand to the other. The mitt is formed using an electrostatically-charged material, a material capable of acquiring a triboelectric charge, or a material that is treated with a tackifying agent in order to optimize cleaning efficiency. Also disclosed is a method of forming a mitt for cleaning.

Dusting mitt

A cleaning sheet is provided. The cleaning sheet includes a fabric layer with a plurality of cavities in at least one major surface. In one embodiment, fabric layer surface secured to a flexible backing layer so as to define an outer fabric surface with a plurality of cavities therein. The cavities can include a tacky bottom surface capable of enhancing the retention of dust and other particles. Cleaning implements and methods of cleaning surfaces using the cleaning sheet are also described.

Cleaning sheet with particle retaining cavities

A mitt worn on a hand for cleaning. The mitt includes a section for the palm of the hand, a section for the fingers, and a compartment on either side of a central axis of the mitt for a thumb. The mitt is capable of being used on either hand, and both sides of the mitt may be used without moving the mitt from one hand to the other. The mitt is formed using an electrostatically-charged material to optimize cleaning efficiency. Also disclosed is a method of forming a mitt for cleaning.

A cleaning sheet for cleaning and removing particles from a surface is disclosed. The sheet includes a particle retention layer including an electret material for collecting and retaining the particles. The sheet also includes an outer layer covering at least a portion of the particle retention layer. The outer layer comprises a low dust retention material and includes a surface having a plurality of apertures formed therethrough.
