An improved cleaning pad is provided. This cleaning pad includes at least one
cleaning layer; and
at least one functional cuff attached to the cleaning pad. This cuff can be made
of a cuff material and has an inner surface and an outer surface capable of contacting
a surface to be cleaned. The functional cuff is designed such that the ratio of
the glide force resulting from the contact of the inner surface of the cuff material
against itself relative to the glide force resulting from the contact of the outer
surface of the cuff material against the material of the surface to be cleaned
is smaller than 1.
