An absorbent, abrasive composite nonwoven web (42) may include at least four layers with two of the layers being formed by meltblowing (10, 54) and two of the layers being supporting carrier layers (14, 58). One of the meltblown layers is an abrasive surface layer (10) formed from a coarse, shot-laden meltblown layer (10) while another meltblown layer is disposed in the interior of the composite web (42) and is adapted to provide absorbency characteristics to composite. The carrier layers (14,58) may be formed from spunbonded webs. The abrasive surface layer (10) and its supporting carrier layer (14) are joined together by hot pin aperturing.

A holder for a floor mat comprises at least one connecting device and at least one connecting member which has complementary connection devices whereby the connecting member may be connected in a releasable manner to at least two adjacent mat holders so as to secure the mat holders together. Preferably at least one of the holder or the connecting member are made from flexible material or are designed to be slightly flexible.
