Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a consumer scrubbing wipe article. The method comprises providing a nonwoven substrate having a dry basis weight of less than about 300 g/m2 where the nonwoven substrate defining first and second opposing surfaces, providing an abrasive resin-based matrix, printing the matrix onto the first surface of the nonwoven substrate, and coalescing the matrix to create a texture layer that provides a scrubbyness attribute. The printed matrix covers less than an entirety of the first surface, and the texture layer is created without crosslinking of the matrix resin. The texture layer extends at least 50 microns outwardly beyond the first surface upon coalescing.
