Abstract: A wet wipe that is formed from a nonwoven structure that comprises a matrix of at least one meltblown fibrous material and at least one secondary fibrous material is disclosed. A weight ratio of the at least one secondary fibrous material to the at least one meltblown fibrous material may be between about 40/60 to about 90/10. Additionally, the nonwoven structure has a first side with a textured surface having a three-dimensional texture that includes a plurality of peaks and valleys and a second side with a substantially planar surface. The nonwoven structure includes about 150 to about 600 wt. % of a liquid solution to prepare a wet wipe. The difference in a cleaning pickup percentage between the first side and the second side of the wet wipe is less than 30%, more desirably less than 20%, and even more desirably less than 15%.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stack of wipes for use in a wipes dispenser. The stack includes a plurality of wipes, each wipe of the plurality of wipes formed from a portion of a common material. Each wipe includes a leading edge portion with a pleat-like zone located along at least a portion of a length of the leading edge portion and the pleat-like zone is distinct from an adjoining main portion of each wipe. Each wipe is folded upon itself at least once and each wipe is positioned relative to adjacent wipes to form the stack of wipes.

Abstract: The invention provides a wipe. The wipes include at least one non-woven web. The web includes an edge portion adjoining a main portion. The web has a top surface and a spaced apart opposite bottom surface and is defined by a width of the web which is perpendicular to a length of the web. The top surface of the main portion defines a top plane and the bottom surface of the main portion defines a bottom plane. The top and bottom planes are parallel to one another and a z-directional dimension of the web extends through the top and bottom planes and is orthogonal to the top and bottom planes. The edge portion includes and edge treatment wherein the edge treatment comprises at least a portion of the edge portion being permanently deformed in a non-random pattern in the z-directional dimension.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stack of wipes for use in a reach-in wipes dispenser having a dispensing opening, and related method. The stack includes a plurality of wipes stacked upon each other. Each wipe is separably joined to an adjacent wipe to form a joint therebetween. For at least 50% of the wipes in the stack of wipes, dispensing a top wipe from the stack of wipes causes an adjacent following wipe to at least partially be drawn upwards towards and/or through the dispensing opening, and the top wipe completely separates automatically from the following wipe at the joint before the following wipe completely passes through the dispensing opening, and when the top wipe completely separates automatically from the following wipe the following wipe falls back towards the stack of wipes and is positioned within the dispenser and below the dispensing opening.
