Abstract
A polymer mesh puff is formed from at least one tube of open cell mesh stretched between a pair of opposing supports. The tube of mesh is bound about a centerpoint by a substantially permanent, non-abrasive mesh binding member. The tube is released from the supports so as to form a plurality of random folds, thereby forming a substantially spherical cleaning implement for use in personal hygiene applications.
