Cleaning articles comprising a cellulosic fibrous structure having discrete low basis weight regions and an inverse emulsion

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Disclosed are articles useful in cleansing and particularly wet-like , cleansing wipes which are dry until used, where fluid is released from the article. These articles comprise: a) a carrier comprising a cellulosic fibrous structure having at least a first region of relatively high basis weight that comprises an essentially continuous network and a second region of a plurality of mutually discrete regions of relatively low basis weight which are circumscribed by the high basis weight first region; and b) an emulsion applied to the carrier, where the emulsion provides fluid for cleaning when shear forces are applied to the article. The first and second regions of the cellulosic …
