PURPOSE: To obtain a method for rationally producing a wiping cloth excellent in water absorptivity and wiping properties.

CONSTITUTION: The objective method for producing a wiping cloth is to prepare a continuous filament web in which many continuous filaments having 1-4 denier size are accumulated, laminating a paper sheet having preferably 10-100g/m2 basis weight and a wet tensile strength within the range of 0.6kgf to 1.5kgf to the surface of the continuous filament web at preferably 1:(1-19) basis weight ratio of the continuous filament web to the paper sheet, then applying a high- pressure water columnar stream from the surface of the paper sheet toward the side of the continuous filament web in the laminate of the continuous filament web and the paper sheet and consequently affording the wiping cloth in which the continuous filaments and pulp fiber constituting the paper sheet are uniformly entangled. This continuous filament web has preferably 5-30g/m2 basis weight and is preferably a continuous filament nonwoven fabric having many dot-fused areas. The wet tensile strength herein described is obtained by measuring a test specimen having 25mm width according to a method specified in JISP8135.
