| abstract |
The present invention is directed to use of dirt-attracting polymers formed from 2-tert- butylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate (tBAEMA) monomers. Cleaning wipes, mop pads, and similar substrates, are treated with the formed polymers to improve dirt pick-up from the cleaned surface. The polymers can be incorporated directly into the non-woven substrates or they can be formulated with a cleaning composition for use with the substrate. The dirt-attracting polymers can be employed to clean hard surfaces such as floors, counter-tops, toilets, windows, and autos. |
