Abstract: A multi-layered wiper and method of making it, the wiper having at least one strong surface region of fibers having a predominate length of less than one-fourth inch and having bonding material disposed therein in a fine spaced apart pattern, the areas in the strong surface region where the bonding material is disposed being finely creped and at least one inner core region of fibers having a predominate length of less than one-fourth inch and generally having less fiber concentration than the surface region, and at least one interior strong region of fibers having a predominate length of less than one-fourth inch and having a greater fiber concentration than in the inner core region and having bonding material disposed therein in a fine spaced apart pattern to bond the fibers in the interior strong region together into a strong network, the bonding material in the interior strong region being substantially unconnected to the bonding material in the strong surface region and a strengthening layer comprising a
