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;
• and
• 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 wherein the multilayered substrate has a wet/dry tensile ratio of at least 60%.

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;
• and
• 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, wherein the multilayered substrate has a wet/dry tensile ratio of at least 60%, and wherein the multilayered substrate exhibits higher softness and absorbency than a homogeneous fibrous substrate with the same fiber composition.
