Method of cleaning residue from a surface using a high efficiency disposable cellulosic wiper

A method of cleaning residue from a surface, the surface being selected from the group consisting of glass, metal, ceramic, a countertop, an appliance, and a floor, the method comprising:

• (A) providing a disposable cellulosic wiper comprising (a) a percentage by weight of pulp-derived papermaking fibers, and (b) from about 10% to about 75% by weight of fibrillated regenerated independent cellulosic microfibers having a number average diameter of less than about 2 microns and a characteristic Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF) value of less than 175 ml, the microfibers being selected and present in amounts such that the wiper exhibits a relative wicking ratio of about 1.5 to about 6;
• (B) applying the wiper, with a predetermined amount of pressure, to a residue-bearing surface;
• and
• (C) wiping the surface with the applied wiper, while applying the predetermined amount of pressure, to remove residue from the surface, such that the surface has less than 1 g/m2 of residue after being wiped under the predetermined amount of pressure with the applied wiper.
