Improved open cell mesh and washing implement manufactured therefrom

Disclosed are an improved open cell polymer mesh and washing implement made therefrom, which exhibit superior softness, while also retaining good resiliency. To achieve the improved softness and resiliency of the improved washing implement an improved open cell mesh is provided which is softer and sufficiently resilient as a result of its controlled cell structure parameters. In preferred embodiments, the controlled physical parameters of the open cell mesh include basis weight, cell count, node count, node length, node thickness, node width, and cell geometry.
