Title: Multilayered cleaning wipe

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     Disposable premoistened multilayered cleaning wipes. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     People come into contact with many surfaces in their normal everyday lives. The propensity for surfaces to harbor viruses, bacteria, dust, dander, soil, grease, hair, and like materials is well known. As people come into contact with surfaces as they move about, they are exposed to these nefarious materials. Exposure to viruses and bacteria can result in illness. Exposure to dust, dander, and pet hair can cause respiratory distress. Exposure to soil and grease can result in stained clothing. As such, devices for cleaning surfaces are desirable. 
     One common device provided to consumers for cleaning surfaces is a premoistened cleaning wipe. Such wipes are commonly single layers of a nonwoven fibrous material, the fibrous material being cellulosic or polyolefin material. One limitation to such simple common wipes is that the wipe has only one kind of texture and that texture is presumed by marketers to be efficacious on all kinds of surfaces for all kinds of materials deposited on such surfaces. Further, such simple common wipes tend to lack sufficiently rigidity in use and ball-up during use and can tend to be non-uniformly wetted with cleaning composition. 
     In reality, the texture of surfaces and the types of materials deposited on such surfaces vary widely. For instance, the texture of the surface of a sofa is vastly different from a countertop surface. The type of cleaning needed to clean the crumbs and hair from a textile at the crease between decorative cording on a sofa and the body of a cushion is wildly different from the type of cleaning needed to clean a hard countertop surface or the body of a textile cushion. Similarly, hair and dust have properties that are largely different from soil. 
     In view of the wide variety of surfaces that need cleaning and the types of detritus found on surfaces, it is desirable to provide a wipe having particular features that are adapted to clean a wide variety of surfaces and detritus. With these needs in mind, there is a continuing unaddressed need for a disposable premoistened multilayered cleaning wipe having features adapted to clean a wide variety of surfaces and detritus. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     A premoistened cleaning wipe comprising: a liquid permeable first layer joined in facing relationship to a liquid permeable second layer, wherein the liquid permeable first layer comprises a nonwoven and the second layer comprises a substrate and a layer of netting material bonded to the substrate; a core disposed between the first layer and the second layer; and a free liquid cleaning composition comprising between about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of the liquid cleaning composition of surfactant, the cleaning composition releasably absorbed in the core.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     As used herein, the term “joined” refers to the condition where a first member is attached, or connected, to a second member either directly; or indirectly, where the first member is attached, or connected, to an intermediate member which in turn is attached, or connected, to the second member either directly; or indirectly. 
     Cleaning wipes can be practical for consumers to use for cleaning a variety of surfaces found throughout the household. For example, it can be desirable for a consumer to use a wipe to clean counter-top surfaces, upholstery, curtains, furniture surfaces, and the like. In use, the consumer can grasp the wipe and wipe the surface. If the wipe contains a cleaning composition, the process of wiping the surface can expel at least some of the cleaning composition onto the surface. The cleaning composition can contain substances, including surfactants, to help remove soil from the surface being cleaned. As the consumer rubs the wipe against the surface to be cleaned, the wipe can lift soil from the surface being cleaned and contain the soil in the core of the wipe or on the surface of the wipe. 
     A wipe  10  is shown in  FIG. 1 . As shown in  FIG. 1 , the wipe  10  can comprise a liquid permeable first layer  20  joined to a liquid permeable second layer  30 . The first layer  20  and second layer  30  can be in a facing relationship with one another. The first layer  20  and second layer  30  can individually be generally planar webs of material or materials, each having a first surface  21  and second surface  22  opposing the first surface. The wipe  10  can have a first side  330  and an opposing second side  340 . A cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed into one or more of the first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and a core, if present. A cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed into the interstitial spaces between fibers of one or more of the first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and a core, if present. A cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed into the interstitial spaces between fibers of a material selected from the group consisting of the first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and the core, and combinations thereof. 
     A core  40  can be between the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . Within the core  40 , a cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed. A cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed in a material selected from the group consisting of the first layer, the core, the second, and combinations thereof. A core  40  need not be present and the cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed in one or both of the first layer  20  and second layer  30 . 
     First Layer 
     The first layer  20  can be liquid permeable. That is, the first layer  20  can provide for thru-transport of cleaning composition from a core  40  to the first surface  21  of the first layer  20 . Once the cleaning composition is on the first surface  21  of the first layer  20  or in the first layer  20 , the cleaning composition can be delivered to the surface being cleaned. 
     The first layer  20  can be superimposed over the core  40 . In one embodiment, the first layer  20  is associated with the core  40  by spray-gluing the first layer  20  to the surface of the core  40 . In another embodiment, the core  40  can be loosely enrobed by the first layer  20  and second layer  30  without any points of attachment to one or both of the first layer  20  and second layer  30 . The first layer  20  can be joined to the core  40  using any technique known in the art for joining webs of material, including, but not limited to, ultrasonic bonding and thermal bonding. It can be practical to provide a thermally embossed pattern on the first layer  20  of the wipe  10  to provide for bonding between the first layer  20  and the core  40 . 
     The first layer  20  can be a material that is compliant and soft feeling. A suitable first layer  20  can be manufactured from a wide range of materials such as polymeric materials, formed thermoplastic films, apertured plastic films, porous films, aperture formed films, reticulated foams, natural fibers (e.g., wood or cotton fibers), woven and non-woven synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester or polypropylene fibers) or from a combination of natural and synthetic fibers. The first layer  20  can be a nonwoven comprising polyolefin fibers. A soft compliant first layer  20  can provide for a pleasant interface between the wipe  10  and the user&#39;s hand during use of the wipe  10 . 
     Apertured formed films can be used for the first layer  20  since they are pervious to the cleaning composition and can be non-absorbent and hydrophobic. A surface of a formed film which is in contact with the surface being cleaned can remain relatively dry if the formed film is or is rendered to be hydrophobic. Moreover, apertured formed films are thought to capture and retain lint, fibrous matter such as pet hair, and the like, from the surface being treated, thereby further enhancing the cleaning benefits afforded by the wipe  10 . Suitable apertured formed films are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,135, entitled “Absorptive Structure Having Tapered Capillaries”, issued to Thompson on December 30, 1975; U.S. Pat. No. 4,324,246, entitled “Disposable Absorbent Article Having A Stain Resistant Coversheet”, issued to Mullane and Smith on Apr. 13, 1982; U.S. Pat. No. 4,342,314, entitled “Resilient Plastic Web Exhibiting Fiber-Like Properties”, issued to Radel and Thompson on Aug. 3, 1982; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,463,045, entitled “Macroscopically Expanded Three-Dimensional Plastic Web Exhibiting Non-Glossy Visible Surface and Cloth-Like Tactile Impression”, issued to Ahr, Louis, Mullane and Ouellete on Jul. 31, 1984; U.S. Pat. No. 4,637,819 issued to Ouellette, Alcombright &amp; Curro on Jan. 20, 1987; U.S. Pat. No. 4,609,518 issued to Curro, Baird, Gerth, Vernon &amp; Linman on Sep. 2, 1986; U.S. Pat. No. 4,629,642 issued to Kemstock on Dec. 16, 1986; and EPO Pat. No. 0,16,807 of Osborn published Aug. 30, 1989. A suitable apertured formed film can be a 25 gram per square meter polyethylene vacuum formed film sold as product ID PT02 by Clopay. 
     The apertures in such a first layer  20  may be of uniform size or can vary in size, as disclosed in the foregoing published documents, which can be referred to for technical details, manufacturing methods, and the like. Such apertures may also vary in diameter in the manner of so-called “tapered capillaries”. Such formed-film cover-sheets with tapered capillary apertures can be situated over the core  40  such that the smaller end of the capillaries face the core  40  and the larger end of the capillary faces outward. The capillary apertures can provide for transport of the spent cleaning composition from the surface being cleaned to the core  40 . Apertures in the formed film first layer  20  can have diameters in the range of from 0 1 mm to 1 mm, or as disclosed in the aforesaid patent references. 
     The first layer  20  may comprise a plurality of first apertures passing through the first layer  20  and a plurality of second apertures passing through first layer  20 . The first apertures can be larger than the second apertures. Each of the first apertures can have an open area between about 0.007 mm 2  to about 0.8 mm 2  Each of the second apertures can have an open area between about 0.8 mm 2  and about 12 mm 2  Without being bound by theory, it is thought that by providing second apertures of such size that soil that is lifted from the surface being wiped can be transported through the second apertures to the core  40  and be visible on the core  40  when the user inspects the wipe  10  after use. The smaller first apertures can provide for fluid transport through the first layer  20  both when the cleaning composition is expelled from the wipe  10  and retrieved by the wipe  10  from the surface being cleaned during use. Further, a combination of smaller and larger apertures can be practical for providing for adequate fluid transport through the first layer yet still feel dry to the touch when the user uses her hand to hold the wipe  10  to rub the surface being cleaned. 
     The first layer  20  can be hydrophobic. However, if desired in one embodiment, the outer and/or inner surfaces of the first layer  20  can be made hydrophilic by treatment with a surfactant which is substantially evenly and completely distributed throughout the surface of the first layer  20 . This can be accomplished by any of the common techniques well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the surfactant can be applied to the first layer  20  by spraying, by padding, or by the use of transfer rolls. Further, the surfactant can be incorporated into the polymeric materials of a formed film first layer  20 . Such methods are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,009,653. 
     The first layer  20  can be a laminate of an apertured formed film as described previously and a nonwoven. The nonwoven can be made of one or more types of fibers such as those selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, bi-component fibers, wood, cotton, rayon, and combinations thereof. The nonwoven can be formed by known nonwoven extrusion processes such as those selected from the group consisting of melt blowing, spun bonding, carding, and combinations thereof. The nonwoven can be extensible, elastic, or inelastic. The nonwoven web can comprise polyolefin fibers. The polyolefin fibers can be selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, ethylene copolymers, propylene copolymers, and butane copolymers. The nonwoven can be a 28 gram per square meter 50/50 polyethylene sheath/polypropylene core bi-component fiber. The nonwoven can be a laminate of a plurality of nonwoven webs. For instance, the nonwoven can comprise a first layer of spun bonded polypropylene having a basis weight from about 6.7 grams per square meter to about 271 grams per square meter, a layer of melt blown polypropylene having a basis weight from about 6.7 to about 271 grams per square meter, a layer of melt blown polypropylene having a basis weight from about 6.7 grams per square meter to about 136 grams per square meter, and a second layer of spun bonded polypropylene having a basis weight from about 6.7 grams per square meter to about 271 grams per square meter. The nonwoven can be a spun bonded nonwoven or a melt blown nonwoven having a basis weight from about 6.7 grams per square meter to about 339 grams per square meter. The nonwoven can be a 28 gram per square meter 50/50 polyethylene sheath/polypropylene core bi-component fiber. The nonwoven fibers can be joined by bonding to form a coherent web structure. The bonding can be selected from the group consisting of chemical bonding, thermobonding, point calendaring, hydroentangling, and needle punching. 
     The nonwoven can be joined to an apertured formed film using techniques known in the art including melt bonding , chemical bonding, adhesive bonding, ultrasonic bonding, and the like. 
     A laminate of a nonwoven and apertured formed film can be formed as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,628,097, issued to Benson and Curro, on May 13, 1997, to form the first layer  20 . For such a laminate structure, the first layer  20  may comprise a plurality of first apertures  200  passing through the first layer  20  (i.e. both the apertured formed film  41  and nonwoven  42 ) and a plurality of second apertures  210  passing through the apertured formed film  41  but not the nonwoven  42 , as shown in  FIG. 2 , which is an embodiment of a first layer  20  of the wipe  10 . That is, the nonwoven  42  can be free from the second apertures  210 . The first apertures  200  can be larger than the second apertures. Each of the second apertures  210  can have an open area between about 0.007 mm 2  to about 0.8 mm 2  Each of the first apertures  200  can have an open area between about 0.8 mm 2  and about 12 mm 2  Without being bound by theory, it is thought that by providing first apertures  200  of such size that soil that is lifted from the surface being wiped can be transported through the first apertures  200  to the core  40  and be visible on the core  40  when the user inspects the wipe after use. The second apertures  210 , which can be smaller than the first apertures  200 , can provide for fluid transport through the first layer  20  both when the cleaning composition is expelled from the wipe  10  and retrieved by the wipe  10  during use. Further, a combination of smaller and larger apertures can be practical for providing for adequate fluid transport through the first layer yet still feel dry to the touch when the user uses her hand to rub the surface being cleaned with the wipe  10 . The first apertures  200  can be sized and dimensioned such that a user is able to view the core  40  through such apertures. 
     The first layer  20  can comprise an apertured film. For instance, the first layer  20  can be a 25 gram per square meter polyethylene vacuum formed film sold as product ID PT02 by Clopay. The first layer  20  can comprise a laminate of a film and a nonwoven having apertures through the laminate. The first layer  20  can comprise a laminate of an apertured film and a nonwoven. The first layer  20  can comprise a laminate of an apertured film having first apertures  200  and a nonwoven, the apertured film and nonwoven both having first apertures  200  there through. The first layer  20  can comprise a fibrous material, such as a fibrous nonwoven comprising polyolefin fibers. The first layer  20  can be an apertured fibrous material, such as an apertured fibrous nonwoven comprising polyolefin fibers. 
     The first layer  20  can be a spun bond nonwoven. The spun bond nonwoven can be apertured. The apertures can have an open area greater than about 0.1 mm 2  The fibers of the spun bond nonwoven can be bicomponent continuous fibers. The fibers of the spun bond can be blended continuous fibers. The fibers can be extruded and bonded in a single step. For bicomponent spun bond fibers, the components of the fiber can have two different melting points. For blended fibers, the component fibers of the blend can have two different melting points. The spun bond nonwoven can have a basis weight of between about 15 grams per square meter to about 80 grams per square meter. 
     The first layer  20  can be a coherent extensible nonwoven that is a thermally bonded spun bond nonwoven web of randomly arranged substantially continuous fibers. The spun bond nonwoven can be manufactured using a conventional spun bond process. Molten polymer is extruded in continuous filaments that are subsequently quenched, attenuated by a high velocity fluid, and collected in a random arrangement on a collecting surface. After collection of the fibers, thermal, chemical, or mechanical bonding can be performed on the fiber to form the spun bond nonwoven. The first layer can be a spun bond nonwoven referred to as SOFSPAN  200  available from Fiberweb. 
     Core 
     The core  40  can be a material that can releasably absorb a cleaning composition. In practice, the voids within the core  40  can act as a reservoir for the cleaning composition, the cleaning composition being stored within the capillaries within the core  40 . The core  40  can be a fibrous material in which the capillaries are provided by the interstitial spaces between the fibers of the core  40 . The core  40  can be an open celled foam in which the capillaries are provided by the interconnected pores within the foam. The core  40  can comprise a nonwoven. An economical core  40  can be provided by a nonwoven comprising polyolefin fibers. 
     The core  40  can comprise a layer of cellulosic material. The core can comprise an 80 gram per square meter nonwoven of bicomponent fibers, the bicomponent fibers comprising a polyethylene sheath and a polyethylene terephthalate core having a loft of about 2.5 mm The bicomponent fibers can provide for structural integrity of the core  40  when bonded. Having an appreciable weight fraction of the core  40  made of cellulose can be economical and technically sound since cellulose is known to highly absorbent. 
     The core  40  can comprise a multi bonded air-laid core. The core  40  can comprise a multi bonded air-laid core comprising about 15% by weight bicomponent fibers having a polyethylene sheath and polyethylene terephthalate core, about 2.5% by weight latex, about 82% by weight pulp, and a basis weight of about 135 grams per square meter. The bicomponent fibers can provide for structural stability and rigidity of the core  40  and the latex can aid in bonding the different components of the core  40  together. 
     The core  40  can comprise a thermally bonded air-laid core. The core  40  can comprise a thermally bonded air-laid core comprising about 18% by weight bicomponent fibers having a polyethylene sheath and polypropylene core and about 82% pulp. 
     The core  40  can comprise a laminate of an 80 gram per square meter nonwoven of bicomponent fibers, the bicomponent fibers comprising a polyethylene sheath and a polyethylene terephthalate core having a loft of about 2.5 mm and two layers of a multi bonded air-laid core comprising about 15% by weight bicomponent fibers having a polyethylene sheath and polyethylene terephthalate core, about 2.5% by weight latex, about 82% by weight pulp, and a basis weight of about 135 grams per square meter. The core  40  can be a single layer thermally bonded pulp core that is 90% by weight pulp and 10% by weight bicomponent polyethylene/polypropylene fibers. 
     The core  40  can comprise open celled foam. For instance, the core  40  can comprise open celled foam formed from a high internal phase emulsion, such as the open celled foam described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,387,207, issued to Dyer, DesMarais, LaVon, Stone, Taylor, and Young, on Feb. 7, 1995. Open celled foams can be desirable since they can provide for a large storage volume of cleaning composition relative to the mass of the core  40 . 
     The core  40  can comprise a material selected from the group consisting of polyolefin fibers, cellulose fibers, rayon, open celled foam, and combinations thereof. 
     The functions of the core  40 , if present, are to store a cleaning composition prior to use, dispense cleaning composition when the wipe  10  is used to clean a surface, reabsorb spent cleaning composition after cleaning, and retain soil that has been removed by the cleaning effort. The core can have a storage volume of about 19 ml. The core can have a storage volume of between about 5 mL and about 30 mL in an uncompressed state. The core can have a storage volume of between about 12 mL and about 25 mL in an uncompressed state. The core can have a storage volume of between about 16 mL and about 25 mL in an uncompressed state. 
     Second Layer 
     The second layer  30  can be liquid permeable. That is, the second layer  30  can provide for thru-transport of liquid cleaning composition from a core  40  to the second surface  22  of the second layer  30 . The second layer  30  can be superimposed under the core  40  so that the core  40  is between the first layer  20  and second layer  30 . In one embodiment, the second layer  30  can be associated with the core  40  by spray-gluing the second layer  30  to the surface of the core  40 . In another embodiment, the core  40  is loosely enrobed by the first layer  20  and second layer  30  without any points of attachment. The second layer  30  can be joined to the core  40  using any technique known in the art for joining webs of material, including, but not limited to, ultrasonic bonding and thermal bonding. 
     The second layer  30  can be a material that is compliant and soft feeling. The second layer  30  can be any of the materials as described previously as being suitable for the first layer  30 . It can also be practical for the second layer  30  to be an abrasive layer. 
     Abrasive Layer 
     The wipe  10  can have an abrasive layer. The abrasive layer of the wipe  10  can be the second layer  30  of the wipe  10 . Arranged as such, the first layer  20  can provide for a soft compliant wiping surface and the abrasive layer can be on the side of the core  40  opposite the first layer  20 . In a simple construction, the wipe  10  can have 3 layers, a first layer  20 , an abrasive layer being the second layer  30 , and a core  40  disposed between the abrasive layer and first layer  20 . 
     It is contemplated that the second layer  30  can be positioned such that the second layer  30  is between the abrasive layer and the core  40 . For instance, as shown in  FIG. 1 , the second layer  30  can be the abrasive layer of the wipe  10 . If the abrasive layer is the second layer  30 , other layers of material may be between the abrasive layer and core  40 , but are not necessarily needed. 
     If other layers are provided between the abrasive layer and the core  40 , such other layers can have other functional attributes and one or more of those layers can be considered to be the second layer  30  as described herein. 
     The abrasive layer can be liquid permeable. That is, the abrasive layer can provide for thru-transport of liquid from a core  40  from the first surface  21  to the second surface  22  of the abrasive layer. The abrasive layer can be superimposed over the core  40 . In one embodiment, the abrasive layer is associated with the core  40  by spray-gluing the abrasive layer to the surface of the core  40 . In another embodiment, the core  40  is loosely enrobed by the first layer  20  and abrasive layer without any points of attachment. The abrasive layer can be bonded to the core  40  using any technique known in the art for joining webs of material, including, but not limited to, ultrasonic bonding and thermal bonding. 
     A suitable abrasive layer can be manufactured from a wide range of materials such as polymeric materials, formed thermoplastic films, apertured plastic films, porous films, aperture formed films, reticulated foams, natural fibers (e.g., wood or cotton fibers), woven and non-woven synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester or polypropylene fibers) or from a combination of natural and synthetic fibers. 
     The abrasive layer can be a material that provides an abrasive surface of the wipe  10 . In use, an abrasive layer that is rough can help to dislodge soil from the surface being cleaned and can help pick up loose fibers such as dust, lint, dander, pet hair, and the like from the surface being cleaned. Further, an abrasive layer may help fluff up the fibers in textiles that are being cleaned thereby allowing for better application of the cleaning composition to the textile surface being cleaned. 
     The abrasive layer can comprise a net material. The net material can be a net comprised of at least two sets of strands wherein each set of strands crosses and interconnects another set of strands at a substantially fixed angle wherein strands in each set extend along a respective direction and are in substantially co-planar, spaced-apart relationship. The net material can be polypropylene or other suitably durable polyolefin material. The abrasive layer can be a material such as that sold under the trade name DELNET, by Delstar Technologies, Inc., Middletown, Del. 
     The abrasive layer can comprise a composite material  99  such as any of the materials described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,917,985 issued to Dorsey et al. on Apr. 5, 2011. 
     For instance, as shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B , the abrasive layer  50  can comprise a net material  100  comprising at least two sets of strands  110  wherein each set of strands  110  crosses and interconnects another set of strands  110  at a substantially fixed angle wherein strands  110  in each set of strands  110  extend along a respective direction and are in substantially co-planar, spaced-apart relationship that is bonded to a substrate  120  wherein a plurality of the strands  110  are broken forming raised whiskers  130  that extend away from the substrate  120 , as shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B . The abrasive layer  50  can be positioned to form the wipe  10  such that the whiskers  130  extend away from the core  40 . That is, the second side of the wipe  10  can have whiskers. As the wipe  10  can be constructed, the substrate  120  can be between the net material  100  and the core  40 . Together, the net material  100  and substrate  120  can form an outer layer of the wipe  10  that is the second side of the wipe  10 . 
     The net material  100  can be a 51 grams per square meter polypropylene net (style number R0412-10PR) made by Delstar Technologies, Inc., Middletown, Del., and sold under the trade name DELNET. The net material  100  can be polypropylene net (style number RC0707-24P) made by Delstar Technologies, Inc., Middletown, Del., and sold under the trade name DELNET. The net material can have 40 strands per inch in the machine direction and 13 strands per inch in the cross direction that are bonded to one another, together forming the two sets of strands  110 . The net material can be polypropylene fine square structure net referred to as PF40 and sold by Smith and Nephew Extruded Films, East Yorkshire, England. The net material  100  can be thermally bonded to one or more layers of a substrate  120  to form composite  99 . 
     The substrate  120  can be a nonwoven or woven material. The substrate can be one or more layers of 60 grams per square meter 50% polypropylene 50% rayon spun laced nonwoven fabric. The substrate  120  can be a 60 gram per square meter polypropylene polyethylene copolymer. The substrate  120  can be SOFSPAN  120 , available from Fiberweb. The composite  99  can be stressed to break a plurality of the strands  110  to form the whiskers  130 . The stress can be provided, for instance, by a ring rolling process as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,917,985 issued to Dorsey et al. on Apr. 5, 2011. 
     In one embodiment of the wipe  10 , it can be practical for the abrasive layer  50  to be translucent. Such translucency can provide the user the ability to examine the second side of the wipe and observe that a colored second layer  30  is between the abrasive layer  50  and the core  40 . A translucent abrasive layer  50  can be provided by an uncolored or lightly colored abrasive layer. 
     Free Liquid Cleaning Composition 
     To aid in cleaning, the wipe  10  can be provided with a free liquid cleaning composition. The free liquid cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed in the core  40 . That is, the volume of the free liquid cleaning composition is held within the voids of the core  40  by capillary forces. For example, the free liquid cleaning composition can be held by surface tension within the interstitial spaces between fibers or within the cells of an open celled foam forming the core  40 . The free liquid cleaning composition can be expelled from the core  40  by compressing the core  40 . The core  40  can reabsorb spent cleaning composition into voids within the core  40  by capillary forces. The capillary forces can act to draw spent cleaning composition through the first layer  20  to the core  40 . 
     The free liquid cleaning composition is an unencapsulated liquid cleaning composition. The free liquid cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed in a material selected from the group consisting of first layer  20 , second layer  30 , core  40 , and combinations thereof. The free liquid cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed in constituent fibers of a material selected from the group consisting of first layer  20 , second layer  30 , core  40 , and combinations thereof. 
     One practical formulation of the cleaning composition is set forth in Table 1.

     The cleaning composition can comprise between about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of the liquid cleaning composition of surfactant. The cleaning composition can comprise between about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the liquid cleaning composition of surfactant. The cleaning composition can comprise between about 0.1% to about 4% by weight of the liquid cleaning composition of surfactant. The cleaning composition can comprise between about 0.1% to about 3% by weight of the liquid cleaning composition of surfactant. The cleaning composition can comprise between about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of the liquid cleaning composition of surfactant. Without being bound by theory, it is thought that lower mass fractions of surfactant might result in less observable residual cleaning composition left on a surface after cleaning. Higher mass fractions of surfactant might result in ringing and spotting from a locally heavy application of the cleaning composition to the surface being cleaned. 
     The cleaning composition can comprise 0.001% to 0.1% by weight of an antifoam compound. A non-limiting example of an antifoam compound is Dow Coming DC 2310. 
     The cleaning wipe  10  can comprise between about 5 g to about 40 g of cleaning composition. The cleaning wipe  10  can comprise between about 15 g to about 30 g of cleaning composition. 
     Colored Regions 
     The wipe  10  as contemplated herein can have two sides, each having a different function. For instance, one side of the wipe can have a soft compliant surface for wiping a surface or fabric to remove light soiling, dust, and lint and the other side can have an abrasive surface that can dislodge agglomerations of soil or alter the surface of a textile so that a cleaning composition can be effectively delivered to and retrieved from the textile. 
     One problem associated with a wipe  10  having two sides with each side providing a different function is that the difference between the two sides may not be immediately apparent to the user. This can be especially true if the user is looking at only one side of the wipe  10 . Surprisingly, color signals that are visible to the user when looking at only one side of the wipe  10  can be used to signal the user that the opposite side of the wipe  10  has a different function. 
     A premoistened wipe  10  having a longitudinal axis L is shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 . The wipe  10  can have a liquid permeable first layer  20  joined to a liquid permeable second layer  30 . The first layer  20  and the second layer  30  can be in a facing relationship with one another. By facing relationship, it is meant that the two components rest generally flat relative to one another so that one planar surface of one component faces a planar surface of the other component, like a floor mat rests on the floor. Two components can be in a facing relationship yet still have other components positioned between the two components that are in a facing relationship, for instance like a sandwich that has a slice cheese positioned between two slices of bread that are in a facing relationship. 
     The wipe  10  can have a first colored region  300  disposed on the longitudinal axis L between a pair of opposing second colored regions  310 . Each of the second colored regions  310  extends laterally beyond the first colored region  300  to a respective transverse edge  320 . Laterally is taken to be in a direction orthogonally away from the longitudinal axis L. A core  40  can be disposed between the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . The first colored region  300  and the second colored region  310  can differ in color. Without being bound by theory, it is thought that by having the second colored regions  310  disposed along the transverse edges  320 , the user will be led to more closely inspect the opposing side of the wipe  10  to learn that the opposing side has a different function or characteristic. The contrast in color between the portion of the central part of the wipe  10  along a portion of the longitudinal axis L can lead the consumer to more closely inspect the opposing sides of the wipe  10 . 
     The second colored regions  310  can be provided in a number of manners. For instance, the second colored region  310  can be provided by the second layer  30 . The second layer  30  can be at least partially visible through the first layer  20  in the second colored regions  310 . Visibility of the second layer through the first layer  20  can be provided for by bonding the second layer  30  and first layer  30  to one another with no other component there between or only a translucent component between the first layer  20  and second layer  30 . For instance, the wipe  10  can be designed so that the core  40  is absent between the first layer  20  and second layer  30  in the second colored regions  310 . The first layer  20  and the second layer  30  can be joined directly to one another so that the first layer  20  and second layer  30  are in direct contact with one another. 
     The first colored region  300  can be provided for by the constituent color of the first layer  20 . For example, the first layer  20  can have the constituent color of white. Such color can be provided for by a colored first layer  20  with the color being provided for by a material selected from the group consisting of dye, pigment, ink, and combinations thereof. The color of the first layer  20  can be provided for with a pigment such as titanium dioxide. 
     The first colored region  300  can be provided a color by inkjet printing, printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, lithographic printing, and screen printing. The first layer  20  can be provided with a color by using pigments and/or dyes. For instance, if the first layer  20  is a fibrous material, the fibers may contain a whitening agent, for example titanium dioxide, that is included in the fibrous material at the time of manufacture of the constituent fibers. 
     The second colored regions  310  can be provided a color by inkjet printing, printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, lithographic printing, and screen printing. The second colored regions  310  can be provided by printing on the first layer  20 . Such printing, if present, can be provided for on either or both of the first side  20  or second side  21  of the first layer  20 . The second colored regions  310  can be part of the first layer  20 , the second layer  30 , or another layer of material that when colored is visible from the first side  330  of the wipe  10 . 
     It can be practical for the first colored region  300  to be part of the first layer  20  and the second colored regions  310  can be part of the second layer  30 . For instance, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the core  40  is between the first layer  20  and the second layer  30  except in the second colored regions  310 . If the entire second layer  30  is colored, the core  40  can be opaque enough so that core  40  obscures or partially obscures at least a portion of the second layer  30  beneath the core  40  when said first layer  20  is viewed from the first side  330 . That is, the color of the second layer  30  that provides the second colored regions  310  is not visible or at least entirely visible through the combination of the core  40  and first layer  30  in portions away from the second colored regions  310  when the first layer  20  is viewed by an observer. The first layer  20  can be translucent enough such that when joined to the second layer  30 , the color of the second layer  30  is visible through the first layer  20 . 
     As shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 , the first layer  20  and second layer  30  can be joined to one another along each transverse edge  320  and the second layer  30  can be visible through at least a portion of the first layer proximal the transverse edges  320 . The first layer  20  can be an apertured film, and apertured formed film, a nonwoven, woven material, or a composite material of such constituents. 
     In one embodiment of the wipe  10 , the first layer  20  can form the first side  330  of the wipe  10  and the wipe  10  can have a second side  340  opposing the first side  330  of the wipe  10 . The first side  330  within the first colored region  300  and the second side  340  of the wipe  10  can be measured by a Hunter Reflectance Meter test according to the colors L*, a*, and b*, the L*, a*, and b* values. The first side  330  within the first colored region  300  and the second side  340  of the wipe  10  at a location can differ in color by a magnitude calculated according to the formula ΔE=[(L* X -L* Y ) 2 +(a* X -a* Y ) 2 +(b* X -b* Y ) 2 ] 1/2 , wherein ΔE is greater than about 5, or alternatively greater than about 10. 
     Reflectance color is measured using a Hunter Reflectance Meter test that employs using the Hunter Lab LabScan XE reflectance spectrophotometer obtained from Hunter Associates Laboratory of Reston, Va. A wipe  10  is tested at an ambient temperature between 18.3° C. and 23.9° C. and a relative humidity between 50% and 80%. 
     The spectrophotometer is set to the CIELab color scale and with a D65 illumination. The Observer is set at 10° and the Mode is set at 45/0°. Area View is set to 0.125″ and Port Size is set to 0.125″. The spectrophotometer is calibrated prior to sample analysis utilizing the black glass and white reference tiles supplied from the vendor with the instrument. Calibration is done according to the manufacturer&#39;s instructions as set forth in LabScan XE User&#39;s Manual, Manual Version 1.1, August 2001, A60-1010-862. If cleaning is required of the reference tiles or samples, only tissues that do not contain embossing, lotion, or brighteners should be used (e.g., PUFFS tissue). 
     To help the user detect the presence of the different surfaces of the wipe  10  each having a different function or characteristic, it can be practical to have the first colored region  300  and the second colored region  310 . As shown in  FIG. 4 , the first layer  20  can form a first side  330  of the wipe  10 . The first colored region  300  and the second colored region  310  can be measured by a Hunter Reflectance Meter test according to the colors L*, a*, and b*, the L*, a*, and b* values being measured from the first side  330 , wherein said first colored region  300  and the second colored region  310  differ in color by a magnitude calculated according to the formula ΔE=[(L* X -L* Y ) 2 +(a* X -a* Y ) 2 +(b* X -b* Y ) 2 ] 1/2  , wherein ΔE is greater than about 2. Herein, the ‘X’ in the equation can represent the first region  300  or the second region  310 . ‘Y’ in the equation can represent the first region  300  or the second region  310 . ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are not to be the same object. In other words, for any particular evaluation of the difference in color, the location of ‘X’ is not the same as the location of ‘Y’. 
     A difference in color of ΔE greater than about 2 provides a difference in color that can appear distinct to an observer. The greater the ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the color of the second region  310 , the more readily distinguishable the two colors are. Thereby, the difference in color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be readily distinguishable by the user. 
     The AE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about 3. The AE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about 5. The ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about 10. 
     The ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about 20. The ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about  30 . The ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about  40 . The ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about 50. The ΔE between the color of the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than about 60. The difference in color AE between the first region  300  and the second region  310  can be greater than any integer number greater than 2. 
     By having the difference in color between the first region  300  and second region  310  large enough, the user can be driven to more closely inspect the opposing surfaces of the wipe  10  and learn that the different sides of the wipe  10  can be used for different functions. For instance, in one embodiment it is contemplated that the second side  340  of the wipe  10 , which opposes the first side  330  of the wipe, can have a color that is a shade of the color of the second region  310 . As shown in  FIG. 4 , the color of the second layer  30 , which would be visible from the second side  340  of the wipe  10 , can be visible through the first layer  20  in portions of the first layer  20  away from the core  40 . The color of the second layer  30  can be particularly visible on the first side  330  of the wipe  10  where the first layer  20  and second layer  30  are joined to one another, either in direct contact with one another or through one or more intermediate layers between the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . 
     In one embodiment, the color of the first region  300  can be such that the L* value is greater than about 70. Such a color for the first region  300  can be practical such that soil that is lifted from the surface being wiped can be visible on the first layer  20 , thereby providing a visual cue that the wipe  10  was successful at removing soil. 
     The color of the first region  300  can be such that the L* value is greater than about 70 and the a* value is between about −5 and about 5 and a b* is between about −5 and about 5. The color of the first region  300  can be such that the L* value is greater than about 50, which for some types of soils may be light enough for a soil lifted from a surface being treated to be visually apparent on the first layer  20 . The color of the first region  300  can be white. The color white is defined as a color having an L* value of greater than about 70, an a* value equal to 0±2, and a b* value equal to 0±2. 
     The color of the second region  310  can be such that the L* value is less than about 70. The color of the second region  310  can be such that the L* value is less than about 65. Such L* values less than about 70 or less than about 65 may tend to be perceived as relatively dark, as compared to the color of the first region  300  if the color of the first region is relatively light or white. 
     Wipe 
     The wipe  10  can have a variety of constructs including any of those discussed previously. In the construction shown in  FIG. 1 , the first layer  20  and second layer  30  can be joined to one another, for instance by melt bonding, chemical bonding, adhesive bonding, ultrasonic bonding, and the like. The first layer  20  and second layer  30  can be joined to one another along the transverse edges  320 . The transverse edges  320  are spaced apart away from the longitudinal axis L. The transverse edges  320  can be straight lines or nonlinear, for instance a decorative scalloped pattern. The first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and core  40  can be coextensive with one another along the longitudinal axis L, as shown in  FIG. 1 . The first layer  20 , core  40 , and second layer  30  can be joined together at the longitudinal ends of the wipe  10 , as shown in  FIG. 6 . In an alternative arrangement, the first layer  20  and second layer  30  can be joined to one another along the transverse edges  320  and along the longitudinal ends to form a pocket in which the core  40  is positioned. In such an arrangement, the first layer  20  and second layer  30  can be longitudinally more extensive than the core  40  so that at the longitudinal ends of the wipe  10 , the core  40  is not between the first layer  20  and second layer  30 . That is, the longitudinal ends/longitudinal edge bonds of the wipe  10  can be free of material from the core  40 . The first layer  20  and second layer  30  can extend longitudinally beyond the core  40  and extend further away from the longitudinal axis L than the core  40 , thereby forming a pouch within which the core  40  is positioned. Arranged as such, the transverse edges  320  can be free of material from the core  40 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 6 , the wipe  10  can comprise a pair of longitudinal edge bonds  400  disposed at opposing longitudinal edges of the wipe  10  across the longitudinal axis L. Each longitudinal edge bond  400  can comprise material from the first layer  20 , the core  40 , and the second layer  30 . By having longitudinal edge bonds  400  that include the core  40 , the longitudinal edge bonds  400  can have a greater resistance to bending as compared to other portions of the wipe  10 , for instance as compared to the transverse edge bonds  410 . The longitudinal edge bonds  400  can have a greater resistance to bending than the transverse edge bonds  410  of the wipe  10 . Having a different resistances to bending between these two parts of the wipe  10  can be beneficial in that the stiffer part can be more suitable for cleaning one type of feature, such as the crease between cording and fabric on a sofa, and the more flexible part can be used to lightly brush a delicate surface, such as the leaf of decorative plant. 
     Resistance to bending can be measured by separating the relevant bond from the wipe and using a two point bending test with the resistance to bending quantified as the force required to deflect the free end of the beam of bond material 10% of the length of the beam of bond material. 
     Similarly, the longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be thicker than the transverse edge bonds  410 , the thickness being measured orthogonal to the longitudinal axis L and out of plane with respect to the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . This difference in thickness can provide for the availability of the wipe  10  to fit into different size cracks, crevices, and creases. 
     Stiff longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be useful for cleaning narrow creases and folds in surfaces. If the longitudinal edge bonds  400  are floppy, as might be the case if only the first layer  20  and second layer  30  are bonded to one another to enclose the core  40 , it might be difficult for the user to slip the wipe  10  edgewise into a narrow crease, crevice, or fold. It is thought that the stiff longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be useful for cleaning the crease between the sole of a dress shoe and the body of the shoe. The stiff longitudinal edge bonds  400  might also be useful for cleaning the crease between the textile on a sofa and decorative cording that is commonly found around the edges of components of the sofa such as the cushions, arm rests, and decorative contours, where dirt, food crumbs, dander, and pet hair often accumulate. The stiff longitudinal edge bonds  400  might also be useful for cleaning between the keys of a computer keyboard or piano, within the contours of the facings and buttons of electronic devices such as televisions and stereos, around the edges of picture frames, and other hard to reach narrow creases, cracks, and crevices. 
     If desired, the longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be continuous or intermittent. Continuous longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be stiffer than intermittent longitudinal edge bonds  400 . 
     Longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be provided for by thermally bonding the first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and core  40  to one another. As shown in  FIG. 6 , the longitudinal edge bonds  400  can have a longitudinal edge bond  400  minimum thickness TB and the wipe  10  can have a maximum thickness TL along the longitudinal axis L. The longitudinal edge bond  400  minimum thickness TB and the maximum thickness TL are both measured orthogonal to the longitudinal axis L and out of plane with respect to the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . The longitudinal edge bond  400  minimum thickness TB can be less than about 80% of the maximum thickness TL. The longitudinal edge bond  400  minimum thickness TB can be less than about 30% of the maximum thickness TL. Without being bound by theory, it is thought that relatively thin longitudinal edge bonds  400  can be beneficial in that they can readily enter narrow creases, cracks, and crevices and be used to clean such features. Further, by having a fatter part of the wipe  10  somewhat away from the thin longitudinal edge bond  400  the wipe can be stuffed to fit into narrow cracks, creases, and crevices, thereby providing for better cleaning, particularly around the exit from such features which may be the most visually apparent portion of the feature. 
     The maximum thickness TL of the wipe  10  can be between about 3 mm to about 10 mm, or about 3 mm to about 8 mm, or 3 mm to about 6 mm Longitudinal edge bonds  400  that comprise the first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and core  40  can have a longitudinal edge bond  400  minimum thickness TB between about 0.1 mm and 2.4 mm The thickness of the longitudinal edge bonds  400  and the transverse edge bonds  410  can be controlled by, for example, altering the pressure and/or heat applied that portion of the wipe  10  to form the respective bond. Higher pressure and greater amounts of heat can be associated with stiffer and or thinner bonds. 
     The second layer  30  can be a layer that is an interior component of the wipe  10 , as shown in  FIG. 7 . As shown in  FIG. 7 , the core  40  can be positioned between the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . The second layer  30  can be colored, as described previously, for instance by a dye, pigment, ink, or other technique. The second layer  30  can be between the core  40  and the abrasive layer  50 . The abrasive layer  50  can form an exterior surface of the wipe  10  that can be used to dislodge soil from the surface being cleaned. The first layer  20 , second layer  30 , and abrasive layer  50  can be joined to one another along the transverse edges  320 , for instance by thermally bonding the three materials together. The second layer  30 , if colored, can be visible through the first layer  20  at positions where the first layer  20  and second layer  30  are joined to one another and the core  40  is not between the first layer  20  and second layer  30 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 8 , the abrasive layer  50  can be the second layer  30 . That is, the wipe  10  can comprise first layer  20  and a second layer  30  and a core  40  positioned between the first layer  20  and second layer  30 , wherein the second layer  30  is an abrasive layer  50 . The abrasive layer  50  can be colored. The abrasive layer  50  can be colored with a material selected from the group consisting of dye, pigment, ink, and combinations thereof. 
     The first layer  20  can form a first side  330  of the wipe  10 . As shown in  FIGS. 9 ,  10 , and  11 , the first side  330  of the wipe  10  can comprise one or more channels  250  embossed into the core  40 . Embossed channels  250  can increase the stiffness of the wipe  10  and increase the durability of the wipe  10 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 11 , the embossed channels  250  can provide for pillowed regions on the wipe  10  which impart a three-dimensional surface profile from the generally planar surface of the first layer  20 . Channels  250  can be embossed into the wipe  10  in any manner known in the art including embossing, fusion bonding, thermal bonding, and the like for impressing a pattern upon a substrate. Without being bound by theory, it is thought that channels  250  provide for regions of a fibrous substrate that have a higher capillary potential than regions of the fibrous substrate that are devoid of channels  250 . The increased capillarity is provided for by the close proximity of the fibers constituting the fibrous substrate. Channels  250  can provide for pathways of enhanced capillarity throughout the wipe  10 , thereby promoting widespread distribution of the liquid cleaning composition in the wipe  10 . 
     The channels  250  can be continuous channels  250 . The channels can be discontinuous channels  250 . Discontinuous channels can provide for the pathways of enhanced capillarity in the same manner as continuous channels  250  provided that the spacing between channel segments  26  of the channel  250  are sufficiently small so that fluid can still be conducted from one channel segment to another. For discontinuous channels, the spacing between segments of the channel  250  can be less than the length of the channel segments  26 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 12 , a channel  250  can extend away from a longitudinal edge  32 . The longitudinal edge  32  can extend across the longitudinal axis L. By having the channel  250  extend all the way to the longitudinal edge  32 , the liquid cleaning composition might be distributed all the way to the opposing longitudinal edge  32  of the wipe  10 , thereby providing enhanced efficacy of the wipe  10 . The wipe  10  can comprise a plurality of channels  250  each of which extend away from or proximal to the longitudinal edge  32 , with an increased number of channels  250  thought to provide for enhanced distribution of the cleaning composition. One or more channels  250  can extend from one longitudinal edge  32  to an opposing longitudinal edge  32 . That is, one or more channels  250  can extend between the longitudinal edges  32 . Such an arrangement can be practical for distributing cleaning composition along the entire extent of the wipe  10  in longitudinal direction. Further, channels  250  that are generally oriented in the longitudinal direction can provide for enhanced stiffness of the wipe  10  with respect to bending about the transverse axis T. 
     The wipe  10  can have a longitudinal axis L and a transverse axis T intersecting and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis L and in plane with the wipe  10 . The longitudinal axis L can be longer than the transverse axis T. In other words, the length of the wipe  10  measured along the longitudinal axis L can be longer than the width of the wipe  10  measured along the transverse axis T. The wipe  10  can extend between transverse edges  320  that are disposed across the transverse axis T. 
     The wipe  10  can have a longitudinal axis L and the wipe  10  can extend between longitudinal edges  32  disposed across the longitudinal axis L. The channels  250  can extend from one or both of the longitudinal edges  32 . The wipe  10  can have transverse axis T orthogonal to the longitudinal axis L and in plane with the wipe  10  and the wipe  10  can extend between the transverse edges  320 . The channels  250  can extend from one or both transverse edges  320 . One or more channels  250  can extend between the transverse edges  320 . 
     A channel  250  can be formed in one or more layers of the wipe  10 , as shown in  FIG. 13 . A channel  250  can comprise material from one or more of the first layer  20 , the core  40 , and the second layer  30 . A channel  250  can comprise a material selected from the group consisting of the first layer  20 , the core  40 , the second layer  30 , and combinations thereof. Channels  250  in one or more of the layers comprised of a nonwoven material can be practical. The wipe  10  can comprise intersecting channels  250 . Optionally, the channels  250  can be spaced apart from one another. 
     A channel  250  need not extend all the way to the longitudinal edge  32 . As shown in  FIG. 14 , the wipe  10  can have one or more longitudinal edge bonds  400 . A channel  250  can extend away from the edge bond  400 . It is contemplated herein that the wipe  10  can comprise a plurality of such channels  250 . The channels  250  can extend away from the longitudinal edge bond  400  to an opposing longitudinal edge bond  400 . As described and shown herein, the longitudinal edge bond  400  can comprise material selected from the group consisting of the first layer  20 , the second layer  30 , the core  40 , and combinations thereof. The longitudinal edge bond  400  can provide for a dense fibrous structure having high capillarity. 
     Channels  250  can also be beneficial for helping the wipe  10  maintain distribution of the cleaning composition in the wipe  10  when the wipe  10  is packaged such that the package is designed so that one of the longitudinal edges  32  is oriented towards the bottom of the package. In such an arrangement, if the pore sizes of the materials constituting the wipe  10  are so large such that the capillary potential of any part of the wipe  10  is less than the length of the wipe  10  along the longitudinal axis L, the wipe  10  may not be wetted across the entire length along the longitudinal axis L. The channels  250  can help draw up any cleaning composition that is contained in the bottom of the package higher up into the wipe in the longitudinal direction. The depth of the channels  250  can be greater than about 0.25 mm 
     One or more channels  250 , continuous or segmented, can extend between the transverse edge bonds  320 , by way of non-limiting example as in  FIG. 12 . Plurality of channels  250 , continuous or segmented, can extend between the transverse edge bonds  320 . Such channels  250  can promote distribution of the cleaning composition laterally in the transverse direction and provide for enhanced bending stiffness about the longitudinal axis L. One or more channels  250 , continuous or segmented, can extend between the transverse edges  320 , by way of non-limiting example as shown in  FIG. 14 . 
     The wipe  10  can comprise a first layer  20 , second layer  30  in facing relationship with the first layer  20 , a plurality of channels  250 , and a free liquid cleaning composition releasably absorbed in wipe  10 , for example as shown in  FIG. 15 . The cleaning composition can be releasably absorbed in a layer selected from the group consisting of the first layer  20 , the second layer  30 , core  40 , and combinations thereof. A core  40  can be disposed between the first layer  20  and the second layer  30 . The channels  250  can extend from the longitudinal edge  32 . The channels  250  can extend proximal to the longitudinal edge  32 . The channels  250  can extend between the longitudinal edges  32 . The channels  250  can extend from the transverse edge  320 . The channels  250  can extend proximal to the transverse edge  320 . The channels  250  can extend between the transverse edges  320 . The channels  250  can extend to within less than about 10 mm of the longitudinal edge  32  and or transverse edge  320 . 
     Since the wipe  10  can be designed to use as a hand implement, the wipe  10  can be sized and dimensioned to conform to an adult human hand. For instance, the wipe  10  can have a length, as measured along the longitudinal axis L of between about 8 cm and about 14 cm. The wipe  10  can have a maximum width, as measured orthogonal to the longitudinal axis L and in plane with the first layer  20  of between about 5 cm and about 12 cm. 
     Fluid Expression 
     To provide for different sides of the wipe  10  having different functions, it can be practical to make the first side  330  express liquid cleaning composition from the core  40  at a different amount or rate as compared to the second side  340 . For instance, if the first side  330  of the wipe  10  is being used by the consumer for wiping a sofa, the user&#39;s objective may be removal of light dust and pet hair. The cleaning capability of the wipe  10  for cleaning light dust and pet hair may not require as much cleaning composition to be effective as compared to a cleaning effort on more heavily soiled surfaces employing the second side  340  of the wipe  10 . As such, it may be beneficial to have first side  330  express liquid more slowly or in a lower quantity than the second side  340 . The quantity of liquid cleaning composition expressed from a particular side of the wipe  10  can be quantified by the cumulative wipe fluid loss value. To provide for a marked difference in cleaning composition expression, the first side  330  and second side  340  can each have an individual cumulative wipe fluid loss value and the cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the first side  330  and the cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the second side  340  can differ by more than about 10%. Such a difference can provide for a user noticeable difference in cleaning composition expression from the first side  330  as compared to the second side  340 . If desired, the cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the second side  340  can be more than about 10% greater than the cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the first side  330 . Such an arrangement can be practical if the first side  330  is designed for light cleaning and the second side  340  is designed for more heavy cleaning. 
     The cumulative wipe fluid loss value is measured as follows. A stack of layers of 
     Ahlstrom filter paper grade 989 supplied by Empirical Manufacturing Company (or equivalent) is provided. The number of layers needs to be sufficient so that at least the bottom 3 layers are substantially dry after completion of the test so that the stack of filter paper is not wetting through. A layer is considered substantially dry if the percent change in the mass of the layer in percent post-test as compared to the pre-test dry mass is less than 1%. The dimensions of each layer of filter paper need to extend laterally beyond the wipe being tested by 13 mm The filter paper is conditioned in advance of the test for at least 12 hrs at a temperature of 21.1° C. +/−1° C. and a relative humidity of 65% and the measurement of the cumulative wipe fluid loss value is measured under the same conditions. The wipe is temperature conditioned for 12 hours at 21.1° C. +/−1° C. The wipe is tested in its as wetted state. 
     The wipe being tested, which has cleaning composition absorbed therein, is weighed using a Sartorius E2000D laboratory balance. Then the wipe is placed flat and centered onto the stack of filter paper. A rigid non-porous weight having an area greater than the area of the wipe is applied to the wipe so that the pressure applied to the wipe is 5.59 kPa +/−0.34 kPa. The area used to compute the pressure is the plane area of the wipe minus the area of any bond(s) about the periphery of the wipe. 
     The pressure is applied to the wipe within 1 second in a manner such that the pressure applied does not exceed 5.59 kPa +/−0.34 kPa at any time during the pressure application and then left on the wipe so that the total pressure is supported by the wipe for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the applied pressure is removed and the wipe is immediately weighed using the laboratory balance. The difference in weight of the wipe before the pressure is applied and after the pressure is applied and removed is the cumulative wipe fluid loss value for the side of the wipe facing the filter paper layers. A fresh wipe and fresh filter paper is used for each measurement of cumulative wipe fluid loss value that is made. 
     Specimens of wipe  10  were constructed as follows. All components of the wipe, except the core, had dimensions of 8.89 cm by 11.43 cm. The core  40  had dimensions of 7.94 cm by 11.43 cm. The core  40  formed part of the longitudinal edge bonds and was not part of the lateral edge bonds. The wipe consisted of the following layers, progressing from the first side to the second side: a 25 gram per square meter polyethylene vacuum formed film sold as product ID PT02 by Clopay and a 28 gram per square meter 50/50 polyethylene sheath/polypropylene core bi-component fiber laminated together using the process in U.S. Pat. No. 5,628,097, issued to Benson and Curro, on May 13, 1997; a layered core of a laminate of an 80 gram per square meter nonwoven of bicomponent fibers, the bicomponent fibers comprising a polyethylene sheath and a polyethylene terephthalate core having a loft of about 2.5 mm overlying two layers of a multi bonded air-laid core comprising about 15% by weight bicomponent fibers having a polyethylene sheath and polyethylene terephthalate core, about 2.5% by weight latex, about 82% pulp, and a basis weight of about 135 grams per square meter; two layers of 15 gram per square meter polypropylene nonwoven, and the bottom layer was laminate of a 60 gram per square meter 
     SOFSPAN 120 nonwoven, available from Fiberweb and a polypropylene fine square structure net PF40 sold by Smith and Nephew Extruded Films, East Yorkshire, England, the layers being combined following the process in U.S. Pat. No. 7,917,985 issued to Dorsey et al. on Apr. 5, 2011, with the net material being on the second side of the wipe/oriented towards the exterior of the wipe. Each wipe was loaded with 19 g +/−0.3 g of cleaning composition according to Table 1. 
     The cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the side of the wipe having the netting material was 7.86 g with a standard deviation of 0.15 g, based on the average of six specimens tested. The cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the side of the wipe having the vacuum formed film was 9.92 g with a standard deviation of 0.30 g, based on the average of six specimens tested. The cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the side of the wipe having the netting material was 26% greater than the cumulative wipe fluid loss value of the side of the wipe having the vacuum formed film.
