Abstract
Abstract A back scrubber formed of terry cloth comprises a generally wider central scrubber section from which transverse open-ended pleats extend alternatingly from opposite sides; elongated hand grasp members extend from opposite ends of the central scrubber section and are also formed of terry cloth. The open-ended pleats receive air on their interior so as to be easily dried and avoid mildew. Both the hand grasp members and the central scrubber section are formed of a folded over and stitched double thickness cloth construction.
