The present invention relates to a dual performance cleaning article, wherein said cleaning article is comprised of a first abrasive meltblown surface that facilitates the process of loosening particulates, such as dust and dirt, and an opposing second soft, air permeable surface, which is capable of absorbing and/or picking up particulates and liquids. The meltblown layer comprises coarse discontinuous filamentary elements, formed from adjusting the variable commonly utilized in the traditional meltblown method.
