Abstract
A personal cleansing implement comprises a tubular piece of diamond-mesh scrim, which is stretched to expand the diamond mesh, gathered to form circumferential pleats, heat set in an expanded and pleated condition, and folded into a stack of layers to form a resilient batt. A softer layer of hydrophobic knitted material lies against the top surface of the batt with its outer edge wrapped around the perimeter of the batt and against the bottom surface of the batt. The softer knitted layer is connected to the batt by a connecting means at the outer edge to form a dual textured cleansing implement made of hydrophobic materials and having high open area to enhance rinsing and drying. Thread stitching or thermobonding are the preferred connecting means. A tether loop is connected to the implement for hanging it from a support during drying. The softer knitted layer preferably has at least one aperture therethrough.
