A wet sheet for cleaning includes multiple layers and is impregnated with a chemical solution. The wet sheet for cleaning includes outer layers which are made of hydrophobic fiber and which are each arranged on a front surface and a back surface, and an inner layer which is made of hydrophilic fiber and which is arranged between the outer layers. The inner layer is provided with a hydrophilic fiber inner layer with the hydrophilic fiber and a hydrophobic fiber inner layer with hydrophobic fiber. The hydrophobic fiber inner layer is adjacent to at least one of the outer layers. The inner layer includes pulp by 50 wt % or more, has a grammage of 20 to 75 g/m.sup.2, and occupies 20 to 70% of a total mass of the wet sheet for cleaning.
