The use of a repeating embossing pattern on a wet-laid cellulosic fibrous structure (10) is described to improve the cleaning performance of said cellulosic fibrous structure (10), said embossing pattern being non-continuous in at least one diagonal direction and comprising non-equidistant discrete embossing sites (14), the cleaning performance index (CPIE) being not less than 105, wherein said index (CPIE) is represented in terms of the following equation CPIE = (CPVE - CPVR) x 100+100/CPVR. The cleaning performance index (CPIE) is preferably 110. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the embossing pattern is of an angular nature. In a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the embossing pattern is in the form of a rhombus. |
