Abstract

A cleaning article for cleaning a target surface. The cleaning article has a coating of soy oil, to improve debris capture and retention. The soy oil is substantially un-hydrogenated, which further improves processability, without sacrificing debris capture and retention over commonly used and more highly hydrogenated soy oil.
