Scouring article with mixture of abrasive particles

A method of making a scouring article, comprising the steps of:

• (a) coating a lofty non-woven substrate with an abrasive slurry comprising:
• a binder;
• a first plurality of inorganic abrasive particles having a Mohs' hardness of 7 greater or dispersed in said binder, wherein the abrasive particles have a median particle size of in the range of 20 microns to 100 microns;
• and
• a second plurality of organic abrasive particles having a Mohs' hardness in the range of 1 to 5 dispersed in the binder, wherein the organic abrasive particles have a median particle size greater than 100 microns;
• and
• (b) subjecting the abrasive slurry to conditions sufficient to at least partially cure the binder;
• wherein the average surface roughness created by use of the scouring article, according to the surface roughness test, is less than 8 microns.

A roll comprising a three-dimensional non-woven web of fibers bonded to one another to form a lofty, non-woven substrate;

• an abrasive coating on the substrate, the abrasive coating comprising:
• a binder;
• a first plurality of inorganic abrasive particles having a Mohs' hardness of 7 greater or dispersed in said binder, wherein the abrasive particles have a median particle size in the range of 20 microns to 100 microns;
• and
• a second plurality of organic abrasive particles having a Mohs' hardness in the range of 1 to 5 dispersed in the binder, wherein the organic abrasive particles have a median particle size greater than 100 microns;
• wherein the substrate is wound about itself to form a roll;
• and wherein the substrate is perforated across its width at regular intervals such that a section of the substrate can be removed from the remainder of the substrate and used as a single scouring pad.
