Abstract
Linen is usually woven or machine-knitted and consists of cotton or similarly absorbent fibres. It can be re-used but this is very expensive and therefore costly. According to the invention, the linen is to be made of a cotton nonwoven, of a nonwoven free from binders and hydrodynamically needled for compaction. The strength and also a low tendency to pilling is sufficient for single usage. On account of the inexpensive method of manufacture, such linen can advantageously be sorted out and discarded, and without contaminating the environment.
