Abstract

Pre-moistened fibrous structures containing filaments and solid additives, wherein the fibrous structures exhibit mileage values that are superior to known pre-moistened fibrous structures as measured according to the Mileage Test Method described herein and methods for making same are provided.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pre-moistened fibrous structure comprising a liquid composition, a plurality of filaments, and a plurality of solid additives, wherein the pre-moistened fibrous structure exhibits a mileage value of at least 135 ft 2 /pre-moistened fibrous structure as measured according to the Mileage Test Method. 
     
     
         2 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of less than 90% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 
     
     
         3 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 5% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 
     
     
         4 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the filaments and solid additives are commingled together. 
     
     
         5 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein at least one of the filaments comprises a thermoplastic polymer. 
     
     
         6 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the solid additives comprise fibers. 
     
     
         7 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the fibrous structure further comprises a first region and a second region, wherein the first and second regions exhibit at least one common micro-CT intensive property that differs in value as measured according to the Micro-CT Test Method. 
     
     
         8 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the fibrous structure is a floor cleaning pad. 
     
     
         9 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 1  wherein the liquid composition comprises a surfactant. 
     
     
         10 . A pre-moistened fibrous structure comprising a liquid composition, a plurality of filaments, and a plurality of solid additives, wherein the pre-moistened fibrous structure exhibits a mileage value of at least 0.9 ft 2 /gsm of the dry fibrous structure as measured according to the Mileage Test Method. 
     
     
         11 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of less than 90% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 
     
     
         12 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 5% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 
     
     
         13 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein the filaments and solid additives are commingled together. 
     
     
         14 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein at least one of the filaments comprises a thermoplastic polymer. 
     
     
         15 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein the solid additives comprise fibers. 
     
     
         16 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein the fibrous structure is a floor cleaning pad. 
     
     
         17 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 10  wherein the liquid composition comprises a surfactant. 
     
     
         18 . A pre-moistened fibrous structure comprising a liquid composition, a plurality of filaments, and a plurality of solid additives, wherein the pre-moistened fibrous structure exhibits a mileage value of at least 450 ft 2 /ft 2  of the pre-moistened fibrous structure as measured according to the Mileage Test Method. 
     
     
         19 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 18  wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of less than 90% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 
     
     
         20 . The fibrous structure according to  claim 18  wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 5% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis.
