The microfiber strand may be sonic welded to the foam strand. The woven cleaning thread may be sonic welded to itself and the tail at points along the scrubber. The foam strand may be composed at least partially of open-cell urethane foam. The pulling device may include a rod including a clip coupled to an introducer loop on the introducer.
