Abstract: A cleaning article for moist or wet cleaning is provided. The cleaning article is a nonwoven with a mechanically stable three-dimensional structure, a weight per unit area of 50-300 g/m2 and a thickness of 2-6 mm. The nonwoven is consolidated mechanically, chemically or thermally. The nonwoven has a maximum tensile force, in at least one direction, of 100-300 N/50 mm, a maximum tensile force elongation in a longitudinal direction of, at most, 35% and in a transverse direction of, at most, 70%, a water absorptive capacity of 2- to 10-times a weight of the nonwoven. The nonwoven is soft, has a three-dimensional structure with a plurality of cavities. The nonwoven is either a binder-bound nonwoven, a bi-component non-woven or a sandwich nonwoven.
