A product comprising a closed container and a plurality of cleaning wipes contained in said container, wherein said cleaning wipes have a longitudinal axis extending between opposing transverse edges that cross said longitudinal axis and longitudinal edges spaced apart from said longitudinal axis and extending between said transverse edges, wherein said cleaning wipes each comprise:
- a first nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of first nonwoven strips extending from first nonwoven fixed ends, wherein said first nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis, wherein said second nonwoven is joined to said first nonwoven along a central bonded portion and comprises a plurality of second nonwoven strips extending from second nonwoven fixed ends to second nonwoven free ends,
- wherein said second nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis, wherein along said central bonded portion said second nonwoven is below said first nonwoven;
- wherein within said container said second nonwoven strips are interlaced with said first nonwoven strips;
- wherein more than about 10% by number of said second nonwoven strips are bent so that said second nonwoven free ends are out of plane relative to said second nonwoven fixed ends;
- and
- wherein said first nonwoven strips have a first color and said second nonwoven strips have a second color, wherein said first color differs from said second color.
A product comprising a closed container and a plurality of cleaning wipes contained in said container, wherein said cleaning wipes have a longitudinal axis extending between opposing transverse edges that cross said longitudinal axis and longitudinal edges spaced apart from said longitudinal axis and extending between said transverse edges, wherein said cleaning wipes each comprise:
- a first nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of first nonwoven strips extending from first nonwoven fixed ends to first nonwoven free ends, wherein said first nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis, wherein said second nonwoven is joined to said first nonwoven along a central bonded portion and comprises a plurality of second nonwoven strips extending from second nonwoven fixed ends to second nonwoven free ends,
- wherein said second nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis, wherein along said central bonded portion said second nonwoven is below said first nonwoven;
- wherein within said container at least some of said first nonwoven strips are back bent so that said first nonwoven free ends are oriented back towards said longitudinal axis.
A product comprising a closed container and a plurality of cleaning wipes contained in said container, wherein said cleaning wipes have a longitudinal axis extending between opposing transverse edges that cross said longitudinal axis and longitudinal edges spaced apart from said longitudinal axis and extending between said transverse edges, wherein said cleaning wipes each comprise:
- a first nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of first nonwoven strips extending from first nonwoven fixed ends to first nonwoven free ends, wherein said first nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis, wherein said second nonwoven is joined to said first nonwoven along a central bonded portion and comprises a plurality of second nonwoven strips extending from second nonwoven fixed ends to second nonwoven free ends,
- wherein said second nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis, wherein along said central bonded portion said second nonwoven is below said first nonwoven;
- wherein said first nonwoven strips have a first color and said second nonwoven strips have a second color, wherein said first color differs from said second color;
- wherein within said container at least some of said first nonwoven strips are back bent so that said first nonwoven free ends are oriented back towards said longitudinal axis;
- wherein within said container some of said second nonwoven strips are interlaced with said first nonwoven strips;
- and
- wherein within said container at least some of said first nonwoven strips are twisted.
A product comprising a closed container and a plurality of cleaning wipes contained in said container, wherein said cleaning wipes have a longitudinal axis extending between opposing transverse edges that cross said longitudinal axis and longitudinal edges spaced apart from said longitudinal axis and extending between said transverse edges, wherein said cleaning wipes each comprise:
- a first nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of first nonwoven strips extending from first nonwoven fixed ends to first nonwoven free ends, wherein said first nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis, and wherein within said container at least some of said first nonwoven strips are back bent so that said first nonwoven free ends are oriented back towards said longitudinal axis;
- a second nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis, wherein said second nonwoven is joined to said first nonwoven along a central bonded portion and comprises a plurality of second nonwoven strips extending from second nonwoven fixed ends to second nonwoven free ends,
- wherein said second nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis, wherein along said central bonded portion said second nonwoven is below said first nonwoven, and
- wherein within said container at least some of said second nonwoven strips are back bent so that said second nonwoven free ends are oriented back towards said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a third nonwoven extending along said longitudinal axis, wherein said third nonwoven is joined directly or indirectly to said second nonwoven along said central bonded portion and comprises a plurality of third nonwoven strips extending from third nonwoven fixed ends, wherein said third nonwoven fixed ends are oriented towards said longitudinal axis, wherein along said central bonded portion said second nonwoven is between said first nonwoven and said third nonwoven, and wherein said third nonwoven strips extend further away from said longitudinal axis than said second nonwoven strips;
- wherein said first nonwoven strips have a first color and said second nonwoven strips have a second color, wherein said first color differs from said second color;
- and
- wherein more than about 10% by number of said first nonwoven strips are bent so that said first nonwoven free ends are out of plane relative to said first nonwoven fixed ends.
