Fibrous sheet with improved properties

A multilayered substrate comprising:

• a first layer including at least 60 percent by weight non-straight synthetic binder fibers having an average length greater than 2 mm, wherein the non-straight synthetic binder fibers have a three-dimensional curly or crimped structure and are sheath-core bi-component fibers;
• a second layer including at least 60 percent by weight cellulosic fiber, wherein the first layer is in a facing relationship with the second layer;
• and
• a third layer including at least 60 percent by weight cellulosic fiber;
• wherein the first layer is in a facing relationship with the third layer such that the first layer is disposed between the second layer and the third layer;
• wherein the multilayered substrate is foam-formed, wherein the multilayered substrate has a wet/dry tensile ratio of at least 0.60, and wherein the multilayered substrate exhibits higher softness and absorbency than a homogeneous fibrous substrate with the same fiber composition.

A multilayered substrate comprising:

• a first outer layer including cellulosic fiber, the cellulosic fiber of the first outer layer comprising greater than 50 percent by weight of the first outer layer;
• a middle layer including non-straight synthetic binder fibers having an average length greater than 2 mm, the non-straight synthetic binder fibers comprising greater than 50 percent by weight of the middle layer;
• and
• a second outer layer including cellulosic fiber, the cellulosic fiber of the second outer layer comprising greater than 50 percent by weight of the second outer layer;
• wherein the middle layer is in a facing relationship with the first outer layer and the second outer layer, wherein the multilayered substrate is foam-formed, and wherein the multilayered substrate has a wet/dry tensile ratio of at least 0.60.
