the present invention relates to an improved disposable cleaning sheet for removing debris , especially hair from a non - smooth or rough surface , especially fibrous type surfaces such as carpeting or upholstery . the cleaning sheets comprise a fibrous substrate and a plurality of protrusions extending from strand elements embedded within fibrous substrate . the cleaning sheets use the protrusions to dislodge the debris from the surface being cleaned , and the fibrous substrate captures the dislodged debris without a backing for the protrusions interfering with the particle capture of the fibrous substrate . further , the protrusions are firmly embedded within the fibrous substrate such that they cannot be dislodged from the substrate in use .
