Abstract
A two-sided washcloth is made of a sheet of loofah that is lined on an outside perimeter with cloth. The washcloth has a convenient set of parallel spaced-apart linear openings also lined with cloth. The surface area of the loofah between the linear openings together with the lining around the openings constitutes a holding area for pressing the back one's hand against after inserting four fingers of a person's hand through both linear openings. The grip is secured by maintaining the thumb on the near side of the first opening. The grip permits both sides of the sheet comprising the washcloth to be applied to the body conveniently, thereby assuring maximum use of the loofah.

A washcloth, comprising:
- a two-sided sheet of fibrous scrubbing material for scrubbing human skin, the sheet having a usable upper surface and a usable lower surface,
- two substantially parallel elongated openings in the sheet, each opening at least one handbreadth long, said elongated openings having a reinforcing lining border and traversing a portion of a breadth of the sheet, the elongated openings being centered in a length of the sheet and being centered in a width of the sheet and said elongated openings traversing a full thickness of the sheet,
- a surface area of a loofah between the elongated openings together with the reinforcing lining border forming a gripping area so that a user is able to insert four fingers of a hand through both elongated openings and press a back of the hand against the gripping area while maintaining a thumb of the hand on a surface area of the loofah outside the gripping area.
A washcloth, comprising:
- a two-sided sheet of fibrous scrubbing material for scrubbing human skin, the sheet having a usable upper surface and a usable lower surface,
- an outside border surrounding the sheet of fibrous scrubbing material and spanning a thickness of the sheet from the upper surface to the lower surface of the sheet,
- two substantially parallel elongated openings in the sheet, each opening at least one handbreadth long, said elongated openings having a reinforcing lining border and traversing a portion of a breadth of the sheet, the elongated openings being centered in a length of the sheet and being centered in a width of the sheet and said elongated openings traversing a full thickness of the sheet,
- a surface area of the fibrous scrubbing material between the elongated openings together with the reinforcing lining border forming a gripping area so that a user is able to insert four fingers of a hand through both elongated openings and press a back of the hand against the gripping area while maintaining a thumb of the hand on a surface area of the fibrous scrubbing material outside the gripping area.
