Pre-moistened, streak-free, lint-free hard surface wiping article
First Claim
1. A pre-moistened wipe for cleaning a hard surface to a shiny, substantially streak-free and lint-free finish, the pre-moistened wipe comprising a flexible substrate carrying a liquid cleaning composition wherein:
- (a) the flexible substrate comprises a mechanically bonded nonwoven fabric comprising from about 30 to about 60 percent by weight of wood pulp fibers and from about 70 to about 40 percent by weight of synthetic fibers and having incorporated therein a hydrophobic or slightly hydrophobic acrylic polymer having a T300 of less than 0°
C.;
(b) the liquid cleaning composition has a surface tension of less than 40 dynes/cm and comprises from about 0.001 to about 1 percent by weight of a surface active agent, from about 1 to about 40 percent by weight of a monohydric aliphatic alcohol having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and from about 60 to about 99 percent by weight of demineralized water; and
(c) the amount of acrylic polymer incorporated in the nonwoven fabric is from about 0.225 to about 2.25 percent by weight of the nonwoven fabric.

Abstract
A pre-moistened wipe for cleaning hard surfaces to a shiny, substantially streak-free and lint-free finish comprising a flexible substrate of a mechanically bonded nonwoven material containing wood pulp and synthetic fibers having incorporated therein a low level of an acrylic polymer and impregnated with a liquid cleaning solution having a surface tension less than 40 dynes/cm and comprising an anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic or amphoteric surface active agent, a monohydric aliphatic alcohol of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and demineralized water.
