                         a bag with at least one flexible side-wall,                                          
                         said side-wall comprising at least three layers, one made of metal and the           
                   other two made of a flexible plastic material, said flexible plastic material forming      
                   the outside and inside layers of said side-wall,                                           
                         a roll of elongated industrial cleaning sheet material with sheets                   
                   delineated from one another by lines of weakness, said roll being sealed within

                   removable cap on said dispensing opening                                                   
                         in which said sheet material has a quantity of industrial cleaning liquid            
                   absorbed in it, the material of which said bag is made being substantially                 
                   impervious to said cleaning liquid,

                   comprising at least two layers, one made of metal and the other made of a                  
                   flexible plastic material, said flexible plastic material forming the outside of said      
                   side wall, said bag containing a flattened roll of industrial wiper sheets delineated      
                   from one another by means of lines of weakness, said bag having a reclosable               
                   outlet opening;
