Abstract
There is disclosed a cleaning article including a water-decomposable non-woven fabric containing water dispersible fibers and a water soluble resin coated on one side or both sides of the water-decomposable non-woven fabric. The water soluble resin is contained more in a surface portion or surface portions of a fiber assembly than in a remaining portion or inner portion of the fiber assembly. The water soluble resin thus contained can increase only the surface strength of the non-woven fabric sufficiently without deteriorating the softness of the entire article, so that dropping of fibers or breakage of surface upon wiping operation can be prevented.
