Abstract: The present invention provides a washing device with a stiff, elongated handle and a scrubbing element disposed at one end of the handle. Two adjacent openings extend through one end of the handle and opposed portions of the scrubbing element are disposed on opposed sides of the handle adjacent to the two openings. A clasp extends through the two openings, around the adjacent opposed portions of the scrubbing element, and around the portion of the handle disposed between the two openings, thereby affixing the scrubbing element to the handle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a relatively non-porous, hydrophobic woven fabric comprising interwoven strands of open celled, plastic mesh netting.

Abstract: The invention is a device, and method of making said device, for scrubbing the body, preferably an elongated device for scrubbing a person's back. The scrubber is made from multiple loops of tubular, open-celled, non-porous netting intertwined to form a washing member secured at its ends by grips which may be used to hold the scrubber at each end. The netting should be durable, elastic, easy to clean, and should dry rapidly. A preferable netting is diamond mesh polyethylene netting. The scrubber of the present invention may be used repeatedly without the need for a separate washing to remove dirt and debris. Because the netting is open-celled and made of non-porous material, dirt and can be washed away by simple rinsing during a bath or shower.
