Abstract (en)

A cleaning device comprises a body or holder 1 providing a backing 4 for a disposable sheet 5 of a surface wiping material, for example of paper. The backing 4 incorporates a moisture absorbent material to act as a reservoir for liquid and which in use maintains the disposable sheet 5 in a constantly moistened condition. The material of the sheet 5 has the property that as the outer contact surface thereof is "swept" or "wiped" over a surface to be cleaned a substantially even flow of liquid from the reservoir material of the backing 4 to the outer contact surface of the sheet 5 provides a "moisturised wipe" condition at the surface being swept or wiped.
