Abstract: A personal cleansing implement comprises a substantially rectangular hydrophobic batt. The batt is a piece of knitted tubing made from extruded linear low density polyethylene monofilaments knitted into a tube on a knitting machine having a setting ranging from 32 to 64 needles per machine diameter. The monofilaments have substantially circular cross-sections in the range of 0.003 inches to 0.015 inches diameter. The piece of knitted tubing also has a longitudinal axis with about 6 to about 9 stitches per inch, as typically measured along its longitudinal axis. Furthermore, the piece of knitted tubing is inverted upon itself at least once along its longitudinal axis to form a plurality of concentric layers of tubing, which are then substantially flattened to form the batt. Each of the layers has a similar length and substantially overlaps the other layers. The batt has a top surface, a bottom surface, and two open ends.
