Abstract

Disclosed herein is a wiping sheet composed of two pieces of spunlace nonwoven fabrics containing heat-shrinkable fiber which are fusion-bonded together with fusion-bonding lines which extend in the cross direction perpendicular to the machine direction. The fusion-bonding lines are formed such that their pitch in the machine direction is shorter than one half of the fiber length so that each fusion-bonding line intersects a single fiber at 3 or more points. This structure prevents surface fluffing and imparts a high surface frictional strength and a high bending resistance for comfortable wiping work.
