Abstract
A consumer scrubbing wipe article is disclosed that includes a nonwoven substrate and a texture layer. The nonwoven substrate has a dry basis weight of less than about 300 g/m. A non-crosslinked, abrasive resin-based texture layer is printed onto at least one surface of the substrate such that the texture layer extends at least 50 microns outwardly beyond the substrate surface upon coalescing. The texture layer bonds to the surface of the substrate via coalescing, and includes resin characterized as independently imparting a scrubbyness attribute to the article upon coalescing.
