    Abstract: A laundry aid device including a spherical-body and a plurality of spokes. The laundry aid device is preferably constructed from heat resistant rubber materials for flexibility and constructed from anti-bacterial and anti-fungal materials. The spokes extend radially from the spherical-body, each of the spokes including a head affixed to an end of the spoke furthest from the spherical-body, and a neck disposed between the spherical-body and the head of the spoke. The spokes each also include circumferential ribs located between the neck and the head of the spoke. The circumferential ribs are constructed of a flexible material such that the head of the spoke is able to flex in relation to the remainder of the spoke.
