The a present invention is related to an abrasive cleaning article, made of spread
abrasive particles and microencapsulated particles of an aromatizing substance
contained in urea-formaldehyde walls, through a three-dimensional non-woven web
of fiber that are bonded to the web by a resin adhesive. The item, of any geometric
shape, offers the user a sensation of cleanliness due to the constant presence
of a "fresh" scent associated to the fiber; the scent remains during the whole
life of the abrasive item since the microcapsules break partially during the normal
use of the item. The invention also refers to the production process of such abrasive item.
