Composite of foamed substance and soap substance
A composite of foamed substance and soap substance includes a foamed substance formed according to a selected shape and encased by a soap substance. When the soap substance is almost totally consumed, it can still attach to the foamed substance so that it can be fully used. After the soap substance is exhausted, the foamed substance can still be used continuously. The foamed substance has a fiber structure which can be rubbed to easily generate a greater amount of fine foams to save consumption of the soap substance and achieve a cleaning effect. The foamed substance is formed by interweaving of foamed substance fibers that have a surface covered by a resin layer. The resin layer is elastic and can enhance the extensibility of the foamed substance, and can also be permeated with a water-base pigment to enhance the aesthetic and visual appealing of the entire product.
