Hereinafter, a cleaning wet sheet 100 that is an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, and is determined based on the description of the claims.
In the following description, front and rear, left and right, up and down, X direction, Y direction and Z direction are defined as shown in FIG. In addition, in this specification, "~" is used to mean that the numerical values before and after it are included as the lower limit and the upper limit.

[1 Explanation of configuration]
First, the configuration of the cleaning wet sheet 100 will be described.

[(1) Condition during use]
As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning wet wipe 100 is replaceably attached to a cleaning tool 200 having, for example, a rectangular flat head portion 201 and a handle portion 202 attached to the upper surface of the head portion 201. It is a base paper sheet impregnated with a chemical liquid and used for cleaning floor surfaces. Here, the base paper sheet refers to the state before the cleaning wet sheet 100 is impregnated with the chemical solution.

The cleaning wet sheet 100 is formed in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. The cleaning tool 200 is attached to the cleaning tool 200 by being bent along the folding line S and engaged with the upper surface of the head portion 201 .
Note that the longitudinal edge portion 201a refers to an edge portion of the head portion 201 along the longitudinal direction. That is, it refers to the two longer edges of the four edges of the rectangular head portion 201 .

[(2) Base paper sheet]
The base paper sheet is a nonwoven fabric manufactured by bonding predetermined fibers by well-known techniques such as spunlace, air-through, airlaid, pointbond, spunbond, and needlepunch.

Specifically, as the base paper sheet, for example, a nonwoven fabric manufactured by mixing hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers and then bonding these fibers is used.

[a Hydrophilic fiber]
As hydrophilic fibers, natural fibers such as cotton, pulp and hemp, and regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupra can be used. etc. is preferably used.
Also, the blending ratio of the hydrophilic fibers in the fibers constituting the base paper sheet is preferably 40% by mass to 80% by mass.

[b Hydrophobic fiber]
Hydrophobic fibers include polyolefin fibers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl alcohol, polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and acrylic fibers. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. As the composite fiber of two or more types, a core-sheath type having a relatively low melting point resin (low melting point resin) as a sheath and a relatively high melting point resin (high melting point resin) as a core, or a low melting point resin and a high-melting-point resin are arranged side by side in a predetermined direction.
Moreover, the blending ratio of the hydrophobic fibers in the fibers constituting the base paper sheet is preferably 20% by mass to 60% by mass.

[c basis weight]
The weight per unit area of the base paper sheet is preferably 50 to 100 g/m ² from the viewpoint of achieving both the ability to retain dirt and the flexibility of the sheet. The basis weight refers to the basis weight measured according to JIS P8124:2011 (the same shall apply hereinafter).

[d CNF]
Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) can be added to the base paper sheet.
CNF refers to fine cellulose fibers obtained by defibrating pulp fibers, and generally refers to cellulose fibers containing cellulose fine fibers with a fiber width of nanosize (1 nm to 1000 nm), but the average fiber width is Fibers of 100 nm or less are preferred. For the calculation of the average fiber width, for example, a certain number of number average, median, mode diameter (mode), etc. are used.

The CNF may be uniformly impregnated in the thickness direction of the base-paper sheet, but it is preferable that the CNF content gradually increases from the center in the thickness direction of the base-paper sheet toward the front and back surfaces. . This is because the cleaning wet sheet 100 is less likely to break even if the cleaning surface or the like is strongly rubbed.

[(a) Pulp fibers that can be used for CNF]
Pulp fibers that can be used to produce CNF include chemical pulps such as hardwood pulp (LBKP), softwood pulp (NBKP), bleached thermomechanical pulp (BTMP), stone ground pulp (SGP), pressure stone ground pulp (PGW ), refiner ground pulp (RGP), chemi ground pulp (CGP), thermo ground pulp (TGP), ground pulp (GP), thermomechanical pulp (TMP), chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP), refiner mechanical pulp (RMP) Used paper manufactured from mechanical pulp, used tea paper, used kraft envelope paper, used magazine paper, used newspaper paper, used leaflet paper, used office paper, used corrugated paper, used white paper, used Kent paper, used imitation paper, used paper for certificates, used waste paper, etc. Pulp, deinked pulp (DIP) obtained by deinking waste paper pulp, and the like. These may be used singly or in combination of two or more as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[(b) CNF defibration method]
Examples of defibration methods used for CNF production include mechanical methods such as high-pressure homogenizer method, microfluidizer method, grinder grinding method, bead mill freeze pulverization method, and ultrasonic defibration method. is not limited to
In addition, CNF that has been mechanically treated (not denatured) by the above fibrillation method or the like, that is, CNF that is unmodified with a functional group, is modified with a functional group such as a phosphate group or a carboxymethyl group. Due to its high thermal stability, it can be used for a wider range of applications, but it is also possible to use CNF modified with a functional group such as a phosphate group or a carboxymethyl group in the present invention.
Further, for example, pulp fibers subjected to defibration treatment by a mechanical method may be subjected to chemical treatment such as carboxymethylation, or may be subjected to enzymatic treatment. Examples of chemically treated CNF include iCNF (individualized CNF) (single nanocellulose) with a diameter of 3 nm to 4 nm, such as TEMPO-oxidized CNF, phosphate-esterified CNF, and phosphite-esterified CNF. be done.
In addition, CNF that has undergone only chemical treatment or enzyme treatment, or CNF that has been subjected to chemical treatment or enzyme treatment and then subjected to defibration treatment by a mechanical method may be used.

[(3) Chemical solution]
The chemical solution impregnated in the base paper sheet as described above is weakly alkaline with a hydrogen ion exponent (pH) of 8.0 to 9.0, and contains 0.01% by mass to 0.01% by mass of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (AE). .25% by weight, preferably 0.10% to 0.25% by weight, 1.00% to 5.00% by weight, preferably 2.50% to 5.00% by weight of ethanol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DGME) is used in an amount of 1.00% to 5.00% by mass, preferably 3.00% to 5.00% by mass.

Also, the chemical solution is impregnated in an amount of 150% to 450% by mass, preferably 180% to 350% by mass, based on the dry mass of the base paper sheet.
The chemical solution is impregnated into the dried base paper sheet, and is released from the cleaning surface when the cleaning wet sheet 100 is used.

[(4) Emboss]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleaning wet sheet 100 has unevenness, and the unevenness scrapes off dirt, thereby improving the wiping performance against the dirt on the surface to be cleaned. An embossment 20 is arranged which is a portion compressed in the Z direction.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the embossing 20 is formed in a so-called gourd shape, which has an elongated elliptical shape that is short in one direction and narrow in width in a plan view, and has a constricted portion at approximately the center in the major axis direction. there is The shape of the emboss 20 is not limited to this. For example, various shapes such as a polygon, or a shape combining each shape may be used. is preferred.

Such embossing 20 can be formed by thermal embossing under conditions of, for example, a temperature of 80° C. to 200° C. and an embossing pressure of 0.2 MPa to 1.0 MPa. When the embossing 20 is formed by thermal embossing, as the convex embossing roll, at least the outer peripheral surface can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, polypropylene, or cured resin such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin. Among them, it is preferable to use stainless steel from the viewpoint of durability and heat resistance.
In addition, when the embossing is performed by thermal embossing, it is preferable to perform the embossing before the step of impregnating the cleaning wet sheet 100 with the chemical solution from the viewpoint of easiness of imparting the uneven shape.

[a convex embossing, concave embossing]
The embossment 20 includes a convex embossment 21 that is convex on the upper side in the Z direction (the first surface side of the cleaning wet sheet 100) and a convex shape on the lower side (the second surface side of the cleaning wet sheet 100) ( That is, a concave emboss 22 is formed on the upper side in the Z direction. In addition, in each figure, the convex embossment 21 is indicated by a solid line, and the concave embossment 22 is indicated by a broken line.

The convex embossment 21 is 5 mm to 10 mm, preferably 6 mm to 8 mm in the long axis direction, 2 mm to 5 mm, preferably 3 mm to 4 mm in the short axis direction orthogonal to the long axis direction, and is 3 mm to 4 mm in the Z direction (middle part ( The height from (to be described later)) is 0.5 mm to 2 mm, preferably 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm. The concave embossment 22 is formed upside down and in substantially the same shape as the convex embossment 21 in a cross-sectional view, and is formed in a shape that protrudes downward in the Z direction.

[b Intermediate part]
Intermediate portions are formed between the embossments 20 formed on the cleaning wet sheet 100 . Since the intermediate portion is a portion where the embossing 20 is not formed, it is positioned lower than the convex embossing 21 and higher than the concave embossing 22 in the Z direction.

[c Embossed pattern]
In the cleaning wet sheet 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. ° to 45°, preferably 15° to 35°. A plurality of embossed block rows 31 are continuously arranged from the third side c to the fourth side d, and the first embossed block row 31 and the second adjacent block row 31 are arranged continuously from the third side c to the fourth side d. in the embossed block row 31, the first embossed block 30 in the first embossed block row 31 and the adjacent second embossed block 30 in the second embossed block row 31 are perpendicular to the first direction At least one convex embossment 21 and It is arranged such that there is a concave embossment 22 .

[d non-embossed part]
As shown in FIG. 2, between the adjacent embossed blocks 30, the cleaning wet sheet 100 is not compressed in the Z direction compared to the embossed portions 20, and has naps. A partial non-embossed portion 40 is provided.

The non-embossed portion 40 is formed by designing the convex embossing roll that forms the embossed portion 20 so as to remove the shape of the non-embossed portion 40, or by compressing the embossed portion 20 to the extent that the nap remains. It can be formed by relatively light compression.
Such a non-embossed portion 40 is provided in 25% to 50% of the area of the cleaning wet sheet 100, thereby reducing the occurrence of wiping streaks and providing the cleaning wet sheet 100 with excellent wiping properties. can do. In addition, it is most preferable that the non-embossed portion 40 is provided at 25% of the area of the cleaning wet sheet 100 .

When the cleaning wet sheet 100 is attached to the cleaning tool 200 to perform wiping, it is usually moved substantially vertically in the X direction or the Y direction, but as shown in FIG. If it is formed in a straight line, wiping streaks may easily occur depending on the angle at which the cleaning wet sheet 100 is moved. Therefore, it is more desirable to arrange the embossing blocks 30 so that the non-embossed portions 40 are not aligned.

[2 Explanation of effects]
According to the cleaning wet sheet 100 of the present embodiment, the chemical solution impregnated into the base paper sheet is weakly alkaline with a hydrogen ion exponent (pH) of 8.0 to 9.0, and contains polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (AE). 0.01% to 0.25% by mass, 1.00% to 5.00% by mass of ethanol, and 1.00% to 5.00% by mass of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DGME) are used. .
When cleaning a waxed or coated area such as a floor surface, the chemicals contained in the cleaning wet wipe may cause discoloration, peeling of the wax coating, etc. In particular, the wiping performance will be improved. However, in the present embodiment, by using the chemical solution as described above, the drying is relatively quick and the pH is 9 or less. As a result, the deterioration speed of the surface to be cleaned can be suppressed, so that the wiping performance against dirt can be improved while suppressing the possibility of damaging the surface to be cleaned such as the floor surface.

Further, according to the cleaning wet sheet 100 of the present embodiment, since the embossments 20 are arranged as described above, the unevenness of the sheet can further improve the wiping performance against dirt, and the following effects can be obtained. Obtainable.

That is, normally, when the cleaning wet sheet 100 is attached to the cleaning tool 200 having the head portion 201 to perform wiping, the first direction (the X direction in FIG. 2) or the second direction (the Y direction in FIG. 2) is used. ), but if the convex embossments are arranged in series so as to align along such a first direction or the second direction, a portion (so-called "wiping streak") where wiping by the convex embossment was not performed A user who sees the wiping streaks may decide that the chemical solution has run out and dried up, even though the chemical solution still remains in the sheet, and discards the sheet. You may end up using many sheets unnecessarily.

On the other hand, it has the emboss pattern as described above, and has at least one convex emboss 21 on a straight line extending vertically from an arbitrary point on the third side c to the fourth side d. When the arranged cleaning wet sheet 100 is attached, when wiping is performed at least in the second direction (the Y direction in FIG. 2), the convex embossments 21 overlap with each other. The occurrence of wiping streaks can be reduced.

In addition, without providing the emboss 20 on the entire surface of the cleaning wet sheet 100, the non-embossed portion 40 is provided between the embossed blocks 30 at 25% to 50% of the area of the cleaning wet sheet 100. When wiping with the cleaning wet sheet 100, since the convex embossments 21 that protrude from the non-embossed portions 40 receive a greater pressure, the release of the chemical solution is improved, and the occurrence of wiping streaks can be further reduced. .
In addition, since the convex embossing 21 receives a higher pressure, the scraping property of the convex embossing 21 is improved, and dust tends to accumulate in the non-embossed portion 40, so that the dust collecting property can be enhanced. In addition, even if the scraping property of the convex embossment 21 and the dirt collecting property of the cleaning wet sheet 100 are improved, the non-embossed portion 40 is less likely to contact the surface to be cleaned due to the convex embossment 21, so the wiping resistance is increased. can be suppressed.

In addition, the embossed block 30 is a rhombus shape consisting of embossments 20 such that the angle between the first direction and the longitudinal direction is 5° to 45°, preferably 15° to 35°. When a plurality of embossed block rows 31 continuously arranged from the first side a to the second side b are continuously arranged from the third side c to the fourth side d, the embossed block 30 is inevitable. It is arranged so as to be substantially deviated from the first direction of the cleaning wet sheet 100 . In addition, when the user performs wiping, the angle at which the cleaning wet sheet 100 is moved has a margin.

In addition, the embossing 20 has an elliptical shape and has a constricted portion at substantially the central portion in the long axis direction, so that the dirt scraping performance can be enhanced.

[3 Modifications]
Modifications of the above embodiment will be described below.

[(1) Adoption of multi-layered sheet]
In the above description, a single-layer nonwoven fabric formed by mixing hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers is used as the base paper sheet. A multi-layered sheet having a layer and a hydrophobic fiber layer mainly composed of hydrophobic fibers may be used.

Specifically, for example, a three-layer structure in which the surface layers on both sides are hydrophobic fiber layers mainly composed of hydrophobic fibers, and the middle layer is a hydrophilic fiber layer mainly composed of hydrophilic fibers, and the hydrophobic In the boundary region between the fibers of the fiber layer and the fibers of the hydrophilic fiber layer, the fibers may be entangled with each other.

In this case, the chemical solution impregnated in the hydrophilic fiber layer is less likely to be released to the surface to be cleaned adjacent to the hydrophobic fiber layer, and the chemical solution can be selectively released to the surface to be cleaned, so that the chemical solution that is not effective for cleaning can be removed. Release can be suppressed.
In addition, by configuring the hydrophobic fibers and the hydrophilic fibers to be entangled with each other, the retention of the chemical liquid can be further enhanced by the air retained in the entangled portions.

[(2) Change of embossed pattern]
In the above description, the case where the embossed blocks 30 each having a combination of the convex embossments 21 and the concave embossments 22 are formed on the cleaning wet sheet 100 is exemplified. good.
However, by providing the recessed embossment 22, the cleaning wet sheet 100 can be turned over and used, and the cleaning area can be further expanded, which is preferable.

1 and 2, a diamond-shaped embossed block 30 comprising embossments 20 such that the angle between the first direction and the major axis direction is 5° to 45°, preferably 15° to 35°. Although exemplified, the shape of the embossed block 30 is not limited to this. For example, the embossed block 30 may be an embossed block 30 having an emboss 20 with an angle of 0° or 90° between the first direction and the longitudinal direction.

1 and 2, the convex embossing 21 and the concave embossing 22 in each embossing block 30 are exemplified so that the angles formed by the major axis direction and the first direction are the same. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the first embossing block 30 and the second embossing block 30 adjacent to the first embossing block 30 are oriented in the major axis direction of the convex embossing 21 and the concave embossing 22 . The inner convex embossments 21 and concave embossments 22 may be arranged in a direction different from the long axis direction.
Also, the angles of the convex embossments 21 and the concave embossments 22 in the first embossing block 30 may be different from each other.

Further, in each figure, the first side a and the second side b are the short sides of the cleaning wet sheet 100, and the third side c and the fourth side d are the long sides of the cleaning wet sheet 100. However, it is not limited to this.

Further, in each drawing, the convex embossment 21 and the concave embossment 22 are both substantially the same gourd shape in plan view, but the convex embossment 21 and the concave embossment 22 may have different shapes.

However, in any of the embossed patterns described above, it is preferable that the convex embossments 21 and the concave embossments 22 are arranged substantially symmetrically on the first surface and the second surface of the cleaning wet sheet 100 . By doing so, the first surface and the second surface of the cleaning wet sheet 100 have the same degree of cleaning function, and the cleaning area per sheet can be increased.

That is, for crayons (pseudo dirt 1), when the number of times of wiping was 10 times or less until the state where the dirt was removed (state where the dirt could not be visually recognized), ◎ was more than 11 times and 20 times or less. ◯ when more than 21 times and 30 times or less, △ when more than 31 times were required (no failure after 30 times).
In addition, for cafe au lait (pseudo stain 2), if the number of times of wiping until it came off was 5 times or less, ◯ if it was more than 6 times and 10 times or less, and from 11 times. When it was 15 times or less at most, it was rated as Δ, and when it was 16 times or more, it was rated as x.

In addition, the influence on the floor surface was evaluated as follows.
That is, when ΔE is 2.5 or more, it is judged that discoloration is observed in the floor material, and when there are 3 or more blister-like floats of Φ 1 mm or more on the floor material of 5 cm square, peeling is recognized in the floor material. I decided.

[(4) Evaluation]
By comparing Examples 1-1 to 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-4, it was found that the chemical liquid with which the base paper sheet was impregnated had a hydrogen ion exponent (pH) of 8.0 to 9.0. Yes, 0.01% to 0.25% by mass of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (AE), 1.00% to 5.00% by mass of ethanol, and 1.00% by mass to diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DGME) By using the one containing 5.00% by mass, it is possible to improve the wiping performance against dirt on the surface to be cleaned without increasing the risk of affecting the floor surface such as discoloration and peeling.

That is, the hydrogen ion exponent (pH) is 8.0 to 9.0, the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (AE) is 0.01% to 0.25% by mass, and the ethanol is 1.00% to 5% by mass. Examples 1-1 to 1-4, which contain 1.00% by mass to 5.00% by mass of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DGME) and 1.00% by mass of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DGME), both crayons and cafe au lait are excellent in stain removal. ◯, and no discoloration or peeling occurred on the floor surface.

On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1-1, which does not contain any of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, ethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, stain removal is Δ for crayons and x for cafe au lait.
In Comparative Example 1-2, which does not contain polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and contains 0.50% by mass of ethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, stain removal is Δ for both crayons and cafe au lait.
In addition, for Comparative Example 1-2 having a pH of 10.0, Comparative Example 1-3 containing 7.00% by mass of ethanol, and Comparative Example 1-4 containing 10.00% by mass of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, the bed Discoloration and peeling have occurred on the surface.

An embossed block row 31 formed by continuously arranging a plurality of diamond-shaped first embossed blocks 30 from a first side a to a second side b opposite to the first side a is arranged on a third side. A plurality of them are continuously arranged from c to the fourth side d. At this time, in the first embossed block row 31 and the second embossed block row 31 adjacent to each other, the first embossed block 30 in the first embossed block row 31 is adjacent to the second embossed block row 31 At least one convex embossment 21 exists on a line that overlaps the second embossing block 30 in the first direction and extends perpendicularly to the fourth side d from an arbitrary point on the third side c. The embossed portions 20 were arranged so as to form the embossed blocks 30, and the non-embossed portions 40 were provided between the embossed blocks 30 so as to occupy 25.0% of the area of the base paper sheet.

In addition, the base paper sheet after heat embossing was impregnated with a chemical solution containing an aqueous detergent, an antiseptic, a disinfectant, and an alcohol in an amount of 300% by mass based on the dry weight of the base paper sheet.

[b Example 2-2: non-embossed portion 37.5%)]

[(2) Test content]
The cleaning wet sheets of Examples 2-1 to 2-3 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-3 were respectively attached to a cleaning tool having a rectangular flat head portion of 250 mm × 100 mm. Wipers with wet cleaning sheets of 1 to 2-3 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-3 were prepared, and Tests 1 to 3 below were performed using the wipers with wet cleaning sheets.

[a Test 1: Wiping streak test]
(i) A wiper with a wet sheet on which a weight is placed so that the total weight is 400 g is placed on the right end of the blackboard (located on the right side as seen from the tester, in the long side direction of the blackboard) so that the head faces directly one end). As the blackboard, a wooden wall-mounted blackboard (450 mm×300 mm in size) manufactured by Majirushi Co., Ltd. was used.
(ii) Push the weight and wiper with a wet sheet from the right end of the blackboard to the left end (the other end facing the one end in the long side direction of the blackboard located on the left side as seen from the tester) and move 300 mm.
(iii) Regarding the wiping streaks that are created, the state where almost no wiping streaks are generated on the cleaning surface (the wet area is about 90% to 100% of the entire cleaning surface) is ◯, and the state where wiping streaks are slightly generated ( The wetted area was about 80% to 90% of the entire cleaning surface), and the state in which many wiping streaks were generated (the wetted area was 80% or less of the entire cleaning surface) was evaluated visually.

[b Test 2: Wiping performance test]
(i) On a 480 mm × 320 mm stainless steel plate, 15 ml of pseudo-dirt blended at a ratio of beef tallow: olive oil: chloroform: fluorescent paint = 12.5: 12.5: 74.4: 0.6 (mass ratio) After dripping and spreading, it is dried for 5 minutes with a hot air dryer (temperature of 60° C.), and the weight of the stainless steel plate is measured.
(ii) A wiper with a wet sheet on which a weight is placed so that the total weight is 500 g is placed on the right end of the stainless steel plate so that the head faces directly (the long side of the stainless steel plate located on the right side as seen from the tester) direction).
(iii) Push and move the weight and wiper with wet sheet from the right end of the stainless plate to the left end (the other end facing the one end in the long side direction of the stainless steel plate located on the left side as seen from the tester). , Only the stainless steel plate is again dried with a hot air dryer (at a temperature of 60°C) for 5 minutes, and the weight is measured.
(iv) From the difference between the weight of the stainless steel plate before the test measured in (i) and the weight of the stainless steel plate after the test measured in (iii), the wiping amount of each cleaning wet sheet is calculated.
(v) The operations (i) to (iv) are performed twice, and the average wiped amount is calculated.

[c Test 3: Wiping resistance test]
(i) Place a wiper with a wet sheet on which a total weight of 500 g is placed on the composite flooring so that the head faces directly. For the composite flooring, Home Floor manufactured by DIY Century Co., Ltd. (product number: HF-100N) was used.
(ii) A hole is made in the head connecting portion of the wiper body, and a push-pull gauge (DS2-200N manufactured by Imada Co., Ltd.) is attached to the hole.
(iii) Measure the maximum resistance value when the wiper with a wet sheet equipped with a push-pull gauge is pulled by 50 cm.
(iv) Perform the operation of (iii) five times, and calculate the average value of the wiping resistance.

[(3) Test results]
The results of Tests 1 through 3 are shown in Table II.

[(4) Evaluation]
Comparing the results of Test 1, Examples 2-1 to 2-3 in which the non-embossed portion 40 was provided were compared to Comparative Examples 2-1 and 2-2 in which the non-embossed portion 40 was not provided. It can be seen that the wiping streaks can be reduced by using this method. It is believed that this is because the non-embossed portion 40 provided increased the pressure applied to the convex embossment 21 and enhanced the releasability of the chemical solution.
On the other hand, when comparing Examples 2-1 to 2-3 and Comparative Example 2-3, as the proportion of the non-embossed portion 40 was increased, the occurrence of wiping streaks was slightly increased. This is presumably because as the ratio of the non-embossed portions 40 increases, the number of convex embossments 21 decreases accordingly, the contact area with the blackboard decreases, and the releasability of the chemical solution decreases.

Further, when comparing the results of Test 2, compared to Comparative Examples 2-1 and 2-2 in which the non-embossed portion 40 was not provided, Examples 2-1 to 2- in which the non-embossed portion 40 was provided Since the amount of wiping off is larger in 3, it can be seen that the wiping off performance is improved.
On the other hand, when comparing Examples 2-1 to 2-3, Example 2-1 in which 25% of the non-embossed portion 40 is provided can wipe off the most dirt, and as the non-embossed portion 40 is increased, It can be seen that the amount of dirt wiped off is reduced. This is presumably because, as described above, as the ratio of the non-embossed portions 40 increases, the number of convex embossments 21 decreases accordingly, resulting in reduced chemical liquid release and dirt scraping properties.

In addition, when comparing the results of Test 3, only Comparative Example 3-3, in which the embossed portion 20 was not provided on the entire surface, exhibited increased wiping resistance, but Comparative Example 2-1 and Comparative Example 2-, in which the non-embossed portion 40 was not provided. 2 and Examples 2-1 to 2-3 in which the non-embossed portion 40 was provided, there was no significant difference in the wiping resistance.
This is presumably because the non-embossed portion 40 is less likely to contact the surface to be cleaned, and therefore the wiping resistance of the cleaning wet sheet 100 as a whole does not change much.
