Abstract
A cleaning article optionally removably attachable to a handle and comprising tow fibers and at least one sheet joined together in a layered construction. The cleaning article is generally planar. The sheet is elastically contracted. The sheet may be elastically contracted by heat shrinkable material, by elastic strands and/or may be elastomeric. This arrangement allows the sheet to entangle and thereby fluff the tow fibers. Such fluffing is believed to improve cleaning performance.
