Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bath sponge includes rolling each of a plurality of discrete lengths of flexible mesh-netting tube into a discrete substantially doughnut shaped band, each band bounding a central opening. Each band is stretched on a support structure so that the central opening of each band is at least partially aligned. Each of the bands are secured together at a first location and at a second location. Finally, the bands are released from the support structure so that the bands rebound into a substantially spherical bath sponge bounding a central pocket.
