Composite wipe

A wipe comprising:

• at least one non-woven web layer of discontinuous fibers;
• and
• a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond web layer of continuous fibers positioned in facing and adjacently contacting relation with the at least one non-woven web layer, wherein the wipe has a combination index of at least 0.7, where the combination index is calculated based on the following equation:
• combination index=[((opacity of the wipe)(cross dimensional tensile strength of the wipe)(1/cross dimensional elongation of the wipe))/(total basis weight of the wipe)3](10000).

A method of forming a wipe, comprising the steps of:

• forming at least one non-woven web layer of discontinuous fibers;
• forming a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond web layer of continuous fibers;
• and
• bonding the at least one non-woven web layer with the spunbond-meltblown-spunbond web layer, wherein the wipe has an opacity index of at least 1.3, where the opacity index is calculated based on the following equation:
• opacity index=(opacity of the wipe)/(total basis weight of the wipe).
