A method for molding a scrubbing sponge wherein raw materials are added a mold cavity having a bottom half and a top half having at least one cavity connected to a venting portion. The raw materials are foamed and expanded to pass through the cavity and vent until flashing is formed on the top of the mold. As the foam passes through the cavity and vent during the foaming cycle, it will become progressively denser as a result of the restrictive flow leading to the small opening of the vent.

Molding method for scrubbing sponge

A scrubbing sponge is disclosed which has a body and projecting extending from the body which are of greater density and preferably frusto-conical in shape. The mold for the sponge is preferably a two piece mold, one of which contains vented cavities which define the projections.
