A method for cleaning a substrate which is or comprises a textile, the method comprising agitating the substrate and a cleaning composition comprising: i. cleaning particles comprising a thermoplastic polyamide and a hydrophilic material at least part of which is located inside the cleaning particle, said cleaning particles having an average particle size of from 1 to 100 mm; and ii. a liquid medium. An apparatus suitable for performing said method comprising a rotatable cleaning chamber and a particle storage tank containing the cleaning particles. Use of the cleaning particles for cleaning a substrate which is or comprises a textile.

Cleaning method, apparatus and use

A method for cleaning a substrate which is or comprises a textile, the method comprising agitating the substrate in the presence of a cleaning composition comprising: i. cleaning particles comprising a thermoplastic polyamide and a particulate inorganic filler having a density of at least 2.5 g/cm, said cleaning particles having an average particle size of from 1 to 100 mm, wherein the cleaning particles have an average density of at least 1.65 g/cmand/or the particulate inorganic filler has a Dparticle size of at least 10 microns and/or a Dparticle size of at least 40 microns; and ii. a liquid medium.
