PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nonwoven fabric that reduces liquid membranes between fibers of the nonwoven fabric to achieve reduction in liquid residues at a higher level.MEANS: A nonwoven fabric has a liquid membrane cleavage agent, and a liquid membrane cleavage promoter that has a solubility in the liquid membrane cleavage agent of 0g or more 0.025g or less and is more hydrophobic than the liquid membrane cleavage agent.SELECTED DRAWING: None
