Abstract: A cleanser dispensing sponge including a housing having a reservoir with an opening for receiving cleanser concentrate, a head, and a cleanser delivery system comprising a pumping canal having a first opening through an outer surface of the head, and a second opening being in fluid transmitting communication with the reservoir, the second opening including a metering constriction for controlling liquid flow between the system and the sponge, the first opening including a back flow constriction for controlling liquid flow between the system and resilient, fluid conducting sponge means mounted on the head. Support ribs on the head resist bending and rotation of the mounted sponge means. Sealing means for the reservoir opening includes a recess for enclosing air within the sealed reservoir.
