Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a disposable scrubbing product (30) for use in household cleaning or personal care applications. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a cleaning tool including a handle (210) and a rigid base (220) to which the scrubbing product (30) of the present invention may be attached to form a convenient cleaning tool. The scrubbing product (30) of the invention is a multi-layer laminate product and generally includes at least two distinct layers, an abrasive layer and an absorbent fibrous layer such as a tissue layer made from papermaking fibers. The abrasive layer is formed primarily of polymeric fibers in a disordered or random distribution as is typical of fibers deposited in meltblown or spunbond processes so as to form an open, porous structure. In one embodiment, an anchoring agent, such as synthetic fibers, are incorporated into the tissue layer that form a bond with the abrasive layer when forming a laminate in accordance with the present invention.
