A disposable wiping article is disclosed having at least a first layer and a second layer. The first layer can comprise a web of nonwoven fibers. The second layer comprises a net like arrangement of filaments which extend between filament intersections. The first layer is intermittently joined to the second layer at discrete, spaced apart locations, wherein portions of the filaments intermediate the filament intersections are not bonded to the first layer. The wiping article can be premoistened and has a macroscopically three dimensional surface with elongated ridges, wherein at least some ridges extend across at least one filament of the second layer.
