Abstract

The disclosure provides a wet wipe for hand and surface cleaning applications which includes a first nonwoven fibrous layer made of continuous polyolefin filaments, a second nonwoven fibrous layer made of polyolefin filaments, said second nonwoven fibrous layer being, and third nonwoven fibrous layer made of continuous polyolefin filaments, in which the second nonwoven fibrous layer is located between the first nonwoven fibrous layer and the third nonwoven fibrous layer; and wherein the first, second and third nonwoven fibrous layers are bonded together to from a multilayered nonwoven fabric, wherein liquid is retained in the multilayered nonwoven fabric and the liquid wets said multilayered nonwoven fabric, the dry volume of said multilayered nonwoven fabric is substantially unchanged after retaining said liquid, and wherein the density of the dry said multilayered nonwoven fabric is at least 0.15 grams per centimeter cube.
