Abstract
A consumer scrubbing wipe article including a nonwoven substrate and a texture layer. The nonwoven substrate has a dry basis weight of less than about 300 g/m2, and thus promotes easy, comfortable handling by a user. The texture layer is a non-crosslinked, abrasive resin-based material that is printed onto at least one surface of the nonwoven substrate. In this regard, the texture layer covers less than an entirety of the substrate surface and extends at least 50 microns outwardly beyond the substrate surface to which it is printed. This characteristic ensures that the scrubbing wipe article has a distinct scrubbyness attribute.
