Abstract: A multi-layered laminate is described along with methods of making and/or using the same. Thus, in one aspect, a multi-layered laminate is provided comprising a first outer nonwoven fabric layer comprising thermoplastic fibers in an amount greater than 50% by weight of the first outer nonwoven fabric layer; a second outer nonwoven fabric layer comprising thermoplastic fibers in an amount greater than 50% by weight of the second outer nonwoven fabric layer; and an inner nonwoven fabric layer that is between the first and second outer nonwoven fabric layers. The laminate may be used in production of a multi-use towel, such as, e.g., a shop towel.
