2. Do-Rite Disposable Dog Diapers, Do-Rites
Do-Rites are nonwoven disposable diaper/garments that are fashionable and also provide the protection of a disposable diaper, without looking like one. The design contains adjustable nonwoven straps that “keep the diaper on the dog and the dog in the diaper.” Also, the nonwoven tail panel has been engineered to prevent the escape of solid and liquid waste.
3. PowerTex Glass Cleaner, Ecolab
With applications in both consumer and institutional products, this system offers an environmentally responsible spray bottle cleaning system that uses a chemically impregnated nonwoven “sleeve,” a trigger sprayer with a specially designed dip tube system and a bottle. The user fills the bottle with water, inserts the sprayer with the sleeve attached and shakes to create a new bottle of glass cleaner. The bottle and sprayer system may be reused many times.
4. SpaSensials, Kimberly-Clark
Targeted at women 40-plus, SpaSensials are an at-home spa-like treatment consisting of intensive moisturizing and conditioning socks and gloves. Advanced technology helps the intensive conditioning formula in SpaSensials products to quickly and effectively absorb into the skin. The nonwoven material keeps moisturizers on the inside, next to the skin.
