The invention discloses a method for producing a three dimensional molded product from cellulose fibers, comprising the steps of: providing a cellulose fiber composition comprising 1-30 wt % lignin, said cellulose fiber composition further having a solid content between 0.1-95%; providing a forming tool having a three dimensional shape including a forming surface, and bringing said forming surface into contact with the cellulose fiber composition; and press drying the cellulose fiber composition contacted by the forming tool at temperatures>200° C. to a dry content of at least 70%.

The invention also relates to a three dimensional fiber based product obtainable by means of said method.

A fibrous substrate for the removal of Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) from a surface is provided. The fibrous substrate includes a capturing agent, and the affinity of capturing for the Gram negative bacteria allows the fibrous substrate to capture the Gram negative bacteria, thereby removing the Gram negative bacteria from the surface and also inhibiting the spread of the Gram negative bacteria to other surfaces that may contact the fibrous substrate. Of particular advantage, the presence of the capturing agent on the fibrous substrate may help protect against the spread or infection of pathogens without the use of chemicals, such as antiseptics or antibiotics.
