Abstract

A wiping sheet includes a patterned part of a fiber assembling base material and a non-patterned part of the fiber assembling base material. The patterned part includes cellulose nanofiber; and the non-patterned part does not include the cellulose nanofiber.

Claims (13)

1 . A wiping sheet comprising:

a sheet of fiber assembling base material comprising a layer of nonwoven fabric, the wiping sheet having a surface provided on an outside of the layer of nonwoven fabric, the surface extending over a length and a width of the wiping sheet and separated from an opposite surface of the wiping sheet by a thickness of the layer of nonwoven fabric;

a patterned part provided on a portion of the surface of the fiber assembling base material that is less than all of the surface, said patterned part comprising a repeating pattern including one of lines, waves, or shapes that is applied to the area of the surface, the patterned part including cellulose nanofiber; and

a non-patterned part provided on a remainder of the surface of the fiber assembling base material on which the patterned part is provided, the non-patterned part not including the cellulose nanofiber.

2 . The wiping sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the patterned part has an area of 10 to 60% of a total area of the fiber assembling base material.

3 . The wiping sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the patterned part is formed only on one surface of the fiber assembling base material.

4 . The wiping sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the patterned part is formed only on one surface of the fiber assembling base material.

5 . A method for manufacturing the wiping sheet of claim 1 , comprising:

applying a cellulose nanofiber solution of 0.75 to 2.00% to a fiber assembling base material according to a set pattern, thereby forming a patterned part; and

thermal drying of the fiber assembling base material to which the cellulose nanofiber solution has been applied.

6 . The method for manufacturing a wiping sheet according to claim 5 , wherein, in the applying, the cellulose nanofiber solution is applied to an area of 10 to 60% of a total area of the fiber assembling base material.

7 . The method for manufacturing a wiping sheet according to claim 6 , wherein, in the applying, the cellulose nanofiber solution is applied using a spray.

8 . The method for manufacturing a wiping sheet according to claim 5 , wherein, in the applying, the cellulose nanofiber solution is applied using a spray.
