Abstract
Multi-functional wipes with desirable ecological profiles and improved performances are disclosed. The wipes may include a substrate and a cleaning composition, a disinfecting/sanitizing composition, and an optional fragrance composition releasably associated with the substrate. The compositions may be separated from one another and may be impregnated in or coated on distinct sections of the substrate. Unlike “wet” wipes preloaded with a dilute cleaning liquid, the disclosed wipes may be substantially dry and water-activated just prior to its application on a target surface.
